In modern buildings, elevators are indispensable vertical transportation tools, and the choice of their types directly affects the efficiency and safety of the building. Small passenger elevators, cargo passenger elevators, and capsule passenger elevators have their own characteristics and are suitable for different passenger flow and cargo transportation needs. Reasonable selection based on actual usage scenarios can achieve optimal allocation of resources and improve the service quality of building space.

• Small passenger elevators

Small passenger elevators usually have a rated load of 400-1000 kg, and the cabin space is relatively compact. They are suitable for places with relatively small passenger flow and low requirements for transportation speed. For example, in some old residential buildings and small office buildings, where the number of people entering and leaving the building is limited, small passenger elevators are sufficient to meet the daily travel needs of residents or office workers. Its advantages are that it occupies a small area, has a relatively low installation cost, and is relatively easy to maintain. However, due to the limited cabin space, it is difficult to meet the transportation of large goods, and during rush hours, there may be a long waiting time. Therefore, if the use scenario has a small flow of people and basically no large cargo transportation needs, a small passenger elevator is an ideal choice.

• Cargo passenger elevator

The design of the cargo passenger elevator takes into account both personnel and cargo transportation. The rated load capacity is generally 1000-3000 kg, the car size is large, and the space is spacious. It can often be seen in scenes such as factories, warehouses, logistics centers, and cargo transportation channels in large shopping malls. These places not only need to frequently transport large cargo and heavy equipment, but also have staff going up and down with the cargo. The cargo passenger elevator has a strong load-bearing capacity and a large car space, which can easily cope with the entry and exit of goods, and its structure is sturdy and can withstand cargo collisions to ensure long-term stable operation. However, the running speed of the cargo passenger elevator is relatively slow, and due to the high load-bearing requirements, the equipment cost and maintenance cost are also relatively high. Therefore, when there is a large demand for cargo transportation in the use scenario, and it is necessary to take into account the transportation of personnel, the cargo passenger elevator can effectively ensure the smooth development of transportation work.

• Capsule passenger elevator

Capsule passenger elevator is a relatively new type of elevator. It adopts advanced technology and unique design concept. It looks like a capsule, has the characteristics of small footprint and flexible operation. In some high-end commercial complexes, office buildings, hotels and other places, capsule passenger elevators are favored for their stylish appearance and efficient transportation capacity. These places have large and concentrated traffic flow, and have high requirements for the operation efficiency and image of elevators. Capsule passenger elevators can optimize the operation route and quickly transport passengers through the intelligent dispatching system, effectively alleviating the pressure of traffic during peak hours. And its unique design can enhance the overall style of the building. However, the load capacity of capsule passenger elevators is generally small, usually around 800-1350 kg, which is not suitable for transporting large goods. In addition, it has high technical content and relatively high construction and maintenance costs. Therefore, in scenarios with large traffic flow, emphasis on elevator appearance and operation efficiency, and low demand for cargo transportation, capsule passenger elevators are a good choice.

When choosing the type of elevator, you need to fully consider factors such as the flow of people in the usage scenario, cargo transportation needs, construction costs, maintenance convenience, etc., so as to make the most reasonable decision and ensure that the elevator can perform at its best in the corresponding scenario and provide convenience for people's production and life.
