Make Vertical Goods Transport More Efficient

Cargo elevators help businesses move materials, products, inventory and equipment between different levels of a building. They can be considered for warehouses, factories, commercial buildings and other suitable facilities.

Selecting the right system requires careful consideration of the goods being transported, maximum load, platform or cabin dimensions, floor openings and frequency of use.

  • Solutions for suitable commercial and industrial applications
  • Load capacity and cabin dimensions selected for the intended use
  • Consideration of loading access and floor arrangements
  • Planning for operation, inspection and maintenance

Safety & Operation

Safe Operation Starts with the Right Specification

Cargo elevators must be selected and used according to their rated capacity, intended application and applicable safety requirements. Goods lifts are not automatically suitable for transporting people.

Rated Load Display and observe the equipment's approved load limit.
Door Interlocks Confirm appropriate door protection and interlocking systems.
Loading Procedure Establish suitable procedures for loading and unloading goods.
Routine Servicing Follow the manufacturer's inspection and maintenance requirements.

Actual safety features and permitted use depend on the selected system, applicable regulations and approved installation. Confirm these details with qualified professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cargo Elevator FAQs

Learn about some of the key considerations when planning a cargo elevator for your building.

What is a cargo elevator?

A cargo elevator, also called a goods lift or freight elevator, is designed to transport goods and materials between floors. Its permitted use depends on the equipment specification and applicable regulations.

Where can cargo elevators be installed?

Depending on the design and installation requirements, cargo elevators may be suitable for warehouses, factories, storage facilities and commercial buildings. A site assessment is needed to determine feasibility.

How do I choose the correct cargo elevator capacity?

Consider the heaviest expected load, the dimensions of the goods, any trolley or pallet weight and the frequency of use. The final rated capacity should be selected and confirmed by the supplier based on the intended application.

Can a cargo elevator be installed in an existing building?

It may be possible, depending on the available space, structural conditions, floor openings, travel height and the type of equipment selected. A technical site assessment is required.

Can people travel in a cargo elevator?

Do not assume a goods-only lift is suitable for transporting people. Passenger use is permitted only where the specific elevator is designed, approved and configured for that purpose.

What information is needed for a cargo elevator quotation?

Provide the project location, number of floors, travel height, desired rated capacity, dimensions of the goods, available shaft space, loading arrangement and building drawings if available.

Does a cargo elevator require maintenance?

Yes. Regular inspection and preventive maintenance are important for reliable operation. The schedule should follow the manufacturer's requirements and applicable local regulations.
