Cargo Freight Elevator

Cargo freight elevators are usually obliged to post a written notice in the car stating that passenger usage is prohibited (though not necessarily unlawful). In contrast, some freight elevators allow dual use, often using an unobtrusive riser.

Freight elevators are typically larger and capable of handling heavier weights than passenger elevators, with capacities ranging from 2,300 to 4,500 kg. Freight elevators may feature manually operated doors and tough interior finishing cab (called enclosure) to prevent damage while loading and unloading. There are both traction and hydraulic freight elevators. These elevators are built to resist the rigors of big loads.

Cargo Freight Elevator Types

This sort of freight or cargo elevator has a load spread; any single item’s weight is not more than 1/4 the elevator’s capacity, and the cargo is handled manually or by hand trucks on and off the car platform.

A- General Freight Lift Loading

This sort of freight lift has a load spread; any single item’s weight is at most 1/4 the elevator’s capacity, and the cargo is handled manually or by hand trucks on and off the car platform.

B- Vehicle Loading

This type of freight elevator is only used to transport vehicle trucks or passenger autos up to the elevator’s rated capacity.

C- Industrial Truck Loading

This class may use a four-wheeled vehicle to load and unload in the elevator. The combined weight of the vehicle and the load may be rolled onto the platform as a single unit.

Other Types of Industrial Truck Loading

The rated capacity must always be maintained during the loading and unloading process. By taking care of this, you can avoid many mishaps, at the end of the day it’s a loading machine that has a limit to moving the weight
