Cargo / Freight Elevator

Heavy-duty solutions for factories, warehouses and industrial applications.

Overview

Cargo and freight elevators move goods, equipment and materials rather than passengers — used in factories, warehouses, distribution centers and back-of-house commercial areas where load capacity and durability matter more than ride refinement.

Features & Technology

Freight duty typically calls for a geared traction machine (cost-effective, robust under heavy and repeated loading) paired with reinforced cabin construction and industrial-grade doors rated for the traffic type — for example, fire-rated multi-panel side-opening doors where building code requires it.

What to Consider

The key spec question is load profile: peak weight per lift, whether loads are palletized or loose, and how often the elevator cycles per shift. We size the machine and cabin to that actual usage pattern rather than a generic freight default.
