Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A hydraulic cargo lift is a type of freight elevator that uses a fluid-driven mechanism to generate vertical motion. The system comprises a pump, a motor, a reservoir of hydraulic fluid, and a cylinder/piston assembly. When the lift ascends, the pump pushes fluid into the cylinder, extending the piston and lifting the car. Descent is controlled by a valve that slowly releases the fluid back into the reservoir, a process that requires minimal power. This makes the system power-efficient on the descent, though it has a higher instantaneous power draw on the ascent compared to traction lifts.
Hydraulic cargo lifts are exceptionally robust and suitable for lifting very heavy loads (often 5,000 kg and above) across 2 to 6 floors. They do not require an overhead machine room, as the pump unit can be located in a dedicated room on the lowest level, which simplifies building construction. They are known for high leveling accuracy and gentle starts, crucial for the stable transport of fragile or sensitive freight. The trade-off is typically lower speed and unsuitability for high-rise buildings due to the impracticality of massive cylinder and piston assemblies.
Basic Product Parameters
Diverse options to meet the needs of different families
| Principle of Operation | Hydraulic Piston/Cylinder |
| Rated Load | 3000 kg – 15,000 kg+ (Ideal for very heavy loads) |
| Speed | 0.25 m/s – 0.6 m/s (Low Speed) |
| Max Travel | Low to Mid Rise (Typically 2-6 stops) |
| Machine Room | Required, Located at Lowest Level |
| Safety | Rupture Valve, Pressure Relief Valve, Shut-off Valve |
Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Simplified Structure
Eliminates the need for a complex overhead structure to support the weight of the car and motor, simplifying construction and saving space above the shaft.
Exceptional Static Stability
The piston mechanism provides inherent stability and is highly resistant to off-center loading, a key requirement for handling large, awkward freight.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Machine Room Flexibility: The pump unit can be located up to 15 meters away from the shaft, allowing for flexible layout in facility design.
- Piston/Cylinder Types: Available in direct-acting, holeless, and roped-hydraulic configurations to suit different travel heights and pit depth limitations.
- Safety Rupture Valve: A critical safety component that automatically stops the uncontrolled descent of the car if a hydraulic line or seal were to fail.
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Hydraulic Cargo Lift | Traction Cargo Lift |
| Max Travel | Low Rise (Max 6-7 floors) | High Rise (Suitable for unlimited height) |
| Drive Location | Machine Room at Bottom of Shaft | Machine Room at Top or MRL |
| Speed | Slower (Focus on power and stability) | Faster (Can reach 1.0 m/s+) |
| Installation | Requires less overhead clearance | Requires more overhead clearance |
| Pit Requirement | Deeper pit may be needed for buried cylinder | Requires a deep pit for buffers/runby |

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Cylinder Placement: Determining if the installation requires a buried cylinder (direct-acting) or a holeless/roped system to manage site-specific foundation constraints.
- Thermal Management: Ensuring the machine room has adequate ventilation to manage the heat generated by the pump during frequent, heavy duty cycles.
- Fluid Compatibility: Selecting hydraulic fluid that meets environmental regulations, especially for installations where groundwater contamination is a concern.
Usage Factors
- Oil/Fluid Leak Monitoring: Implementing regular checks for potential leaks around the cylinder or in the machine room, a critical maintenance task for hydraulic systems.
- Machine Room Security: Ensuring the ground-level machine room is secured against unauthorized access and protected from flooding.
- Environmental Compliance: Adhering to local codes for fire safety and containment of hydraulic fluid, often requiring specific pit lining or fluid retrieval systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
No, hydraulic lifts are best suited for low-rise applications (typically up to 6 floors) because the size and cost of the required piston/cylinder and the amount of hydraulic fluid become prohibitive for greater travel heights.
The car descends through gravity, and the speed is precisely controlled by an electro-mechanical valve that regulates the rate at which the hydraulic fluid is released back into the reservoir.
Yes, they require a machine room on the lowest level (or adjacent to the shaft) to house the power unit, pump, fluid reservoir, and control equipment.
