Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A residential freight elevator is engineered specifically for use in single-family homes, offering a safe and convenient method to transport heavy, bulky, or awkward items between floors, such as laundry, furniture, or construction materials. While it may occasionally accommodate a single attendant for the purpose of loading and unloading, its primary classification remains focused on the movement of goods, distinct from a standard residential passenger elevator.
These lifts prioritize a small footprint, low noise profile, and aesthetic integration, often featuring customizable cab interiors and doors that match the home's millwork. Drive systems commonly include hydraulic, winding drum, or screw drive mechanisms, chosen for their ability to function effectively at low speeds and within minimal overhead and pit clearances. Safety features are tailored for residential use, including keyed access to prevent unauthorized operation and continuous-pressure controls for safety.

Usage Factors
