Let's take a closer look at each type of freight elevator, focusing on the objective advantages and the main area of their use.

Large freight elevators

Such elevator models are most often used for lifting heavy loads in warehouses, shopping centers and industrial enterprises. For example, they are used to move cars and special equipment, various machine tools and large-sized equipment, containers. They differ from conventional elevators by a simpler design of the cabin, increased load capacity and the presence of special doors that minimize the risk of damage to the cargo. The use of these elevators allows to significantly facilitate the process of loading/unloading of the transported cargo.
