This short video was filmed on site at Cola Next Multan after handover. It shows the freight lifts on the plant and warehouse floors, the Eker control panel marked for loads up to 5,000 kg, and the machines fitted in the low overhead.
WhatsApp us about a freight liftMeezan Food and Beverages, the company behind Cola Next, needed goods lifts for its Multan Manufacturing Unit 1. Pallets of raw material and finished drinks have to move between floors all day, so the plant needed several heavy-duty freight elevators, not just one.
The building set a hard limit. The space above the top landing was only 12 feet from the finished floor, and that 12 feet had to include the machine room. A standard freight elevator with a separate machine room normally needs more height than that.
The client gave us a clear brief:
We surveyed each shaft and planned the machine position, car height and top clearances so that the lift and its machine room fit inside the 12 ft available. Nothing in the building had to be raised.
We installed four 5-ton (5,000 kg) freight elevators for heavy pallet loads and four 2-ton (2,000 kg) freight elevators for lighter goods. That way the plant is not running a 5-ton lift to move a small load.
All eight lifts use Eker, a Turkish brand. It met the brief for strong performance at a lower price, with the longer warranty the client asked for.
Each lift travels at 0.7 metres per second, a steady speed for goods. They are fully automatic: staff call the lift and send it with the buttons, and no lift operator is needed.
Cola Next Multan Unit 1 now has eight Eker freight elevators moving goods between floors: four rated at 5 tons and four at 2 tons. All of them fit under the 12 ft overhead, run at 0.7 m/s and work without an operator.
The client got what they asked for: high-performance lifts at a lower cost, with a longer warranty. If your factory or warehouse has limited headroom, the same approach can work for you. See our cargo and freight elevators or our lift services in Multan.
Yes, in many cases. At Cola Next Multan, Hub Elevator installed eight freight elevators where only 12 ft of overhead was available from the finished floor, including the machine room. The lift has to be designed around the space, so a site survey comes first.
It depends on the heaviest load and how it is moved. Cola Next Multan uses four 5-ton (5,000 kg) lifts for heavy pallets and four 2-ton (2,000 kg) lifts for lighter goods. Hub Elevator sizes the lift after checking your loads, pallet size and handling equipment.
Goods lifts usually run slower than passenger lifts. The eight freight elevators at Cola Next Multan travel at 0.7 metres per second, which suits heavy loads over a few floors.
Not always. The lifts at Cola Next Multan are fully automatic, so staff call and send the lift with push buttons and no dedicated operator is needed.
Hub Elevator supplied Eker freight elevators, made in Turkey. The client wanted high performance at a lower price with a longer warranty, and Eker met that brief.
