Goods Elevator
A goods elevator, also known as a freight elevator, is a type of elevator that is designed to carry goods or materials rather than passengers. These elevators are commonly used in industrial, commercial, or residential buildings where there is a need to transport heavy or bulky items between floors.
Goods elevators are typically larger and more robust than passenger elevators and have higher weight capacities. They may also have features such as reinforced floors, wider doors, and stronger hoisting mechanisms to accommodate the weight of the goods being transported. In addition, they may be designed with specialized features such as loading docks, levelers, and ramps to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.
Because they are designed for heavy-duty use, goods elevators may have different safety features compared to passenger elevators. For example, they may have additional sensors and safety mechanisms to prevent overloading and ensure the safe operation of the elevator when transporting heavy loads.
