Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A cargo elevator, or freight elevator, is fundamentally designed for rugged, utilitarian use with a priority on structural integrity and load capacity over passenger comfort. They are built to move heavy, bulky items, including industrial machinery, pallets, vehicles, and raw materials. The car interior is constructed from highly durable materials, typically thick steel plates and impact-resistant walls, to withstand the constant impact and abrasion from loading and unloading with forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy carts.
These systems employ robust drive mechanisms, often high-power geared traction or large-bore hydraulic cylinders, to handle rated loads that can range from 2,000 kg up to 20,000 kg or more. Operation is generally slower than passenger lifts but is characterized by strong, consistent lifting power. Cargo elevators must meet specific safety codes related to freight handling, which often includes enhanced door protection, load-weighing devices, and controls that prioritize safe goods movement. Their indispensable role is in logistics, manufacturing, and large storage facilities, serving as the vertical backbone for material flow.
Basic Product Parameters

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Exceptional Payload Capability
Engineered with high structural factors of safety to handle very heavy, often concentrated loads and the dynamic forces of loading equipment.
Rugged Longevity
Designed for continuous, demanding duty cycles with components that resist wear and tear from industrial environments and material handling operations.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Car Platform Reinforcement: Features a robust sub-structure to distribute point loads from equipment wheels (e.g., forklifts) and prevent platform deflection.
- Manual or Automatic Door Operation: Available with fully automatic doors for high-volume use or manual bi-parting doors for maximum opening width and durability.
- Leveling Accuracy: Utilizes precise leveling systems to ensure the car floor is perfectly flush with the landing floor for safe rolling on/off of freight.
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Cargo Elevator (Freight) | Goods Passenger Lift |
| Primary Purpose | Exclusive Goods Movement | Goods and Personnel Transport |
| Interior Finish | Utilitarian, Highly Durable Steel | Durable but with Passenger Aesthetics |
| Car Size | Generally Larger/Wider to fit equipment | Sized to fit both people and freight |
| Speed | Slower, Focus on Lifting Power | Faster, Must meet Passenger Comfort Standards |

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Door Opening Size: Ensuring the door opening is wide and high enough to accommodate the largest item or material handling equipment (e.g., forklift mast height).
- Concentrated Loading Rating: Specifying the lift based on the maximum weight that the smallest footprint (e.g., a single forklift wheel) will place on the car floor.
- Through-Loading Capability: Determining if the design requires front and rear openings to enable efficient straight-through loading/unloading operations.
Usage Factors
- Operating Protocol: Establishing clear procedures for safe loading and securing of cargo to prevent movement during travel.
- Duty Cycle: Selecting a system rated for the required number of heavy starts, stops, and hours of operation per day to prevent premature motor wear.
- Environmental Controls: Considering necessary features for damp, dusty, or hazardous environments (e.g., fire-resistant or explosion-proof components).
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
Cargo elevators are primarily for goods. Personnel may ride them for the purpose of loading and unloading or operating equipment inside the car, but they are generally not designed for general public passenger use.
Flooring is almost always heavy-gauge steel checker plate or tread plate, which offers extreme durability, resistance to concentrated wheel loads, and slip resistance.
All compliant cargo lifts are equipped with load-weighing devices. If the load exceeds the rated capacity, the elevator will typically lock out and refuse to start until the excess weight is removed.
