MOVE YOUR MATERIALS
Freight elevators and material lifts usually travel at lower speeds than passenger elevators, but they are built to carry heavier loads and to withstand tougher working conditions. We offer different freight elevator and material lifts styles based on your desired application and specific requirements. As always, our Team can customize standard designs to fit any application.
Typical factors to consider when choosing a freight elevator
- Size and type of load
- Vertical travel distance
- Method of loading (see Freight Classifications)
FREIGHT CLASSIFICATIONSClass A: General Freight Loading.
Where the load is distributed, the weight of any single piece is not more than 1/4 the capacity of the elevator and the load is handled on and off the car platform manually or by means of hand trucks. Class B: Motor Vehicle Loading. The freight elevator is used solely to carry automobile trucks or passenger automobiles up to the rated capacity of the elevator. Class C1: Industrial Truck Loading. A four-wheeled vehicle may be used to load and unload the elevator. The combined weight of the vehicle and the load cannot exceed the rated capacity and may be rolled onto the platform as a single unit. Class C2: Industrial Truck Loading. During loading and unloading, max load on the platform may be up to 150% of the rated capacity. This enables the use of a forklift to load a car with freight weighing up to the rated capacity. |
