English term or phrase: disabled lift
article BBC News

Animal rescues in London have fallen by more than half in the last year, the fire brigade has said.

Fire crews were called out to 282 animal rescues, the lowest number since the London Fire Brigade (LFB) began collecting data in 1999.

An LFB spokesman said: "Firefighters rescuing cats from trees may soon become a thing of the past".

It said the drop followed a campaign last year to encourage people to call the RSPCA instead of dialling 999.

The campaign highlighted unusual rescues including a chimp stuck in a chimney, a kitten in a bongo drum and a hamster trapped in a disabled lift.

Хотя точно с той же степенью вероятности сие может оказаться и просто "отключенным" или "неисправным лифтом"...go figure ))

disagree  Vlasta Shevchenko: тут суть в том, что лифт был неисправен, в него никто не мог зайти кроме спасателей, иначе бы зверюга и так сбежал бы, поэтому тут речь идет не о типе лифта, а о его состоянии.

  -> Да запросто - я ж этот вариант тоже упомянула как вполне себе вероятный. Хотя и странноватый, бо логичней было бы использовать, напр., out-of-service lift, согласны?
