Heavy-Duty Warehouse Cargo Lift

Heavy-Duty Warehouse Cargo Lift

Specifications:

Industrial-Grade Vertical Transport for Warehouse Logistics
The Hydraulic Warehouse Freight Elevator is engineered for heavy-duty cargo movement in demanding distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and cold storage facilities. Unlike passenger elevators, this robust system prioritizes weight capacity, energy efficiency, and durability – transporting pallets, machinery, and bulk goods up to 12 meters vertically with uncompromising reliability.

Key Specifications & Features

• Massive Load Capacity: 5,000–6,000 kg weight capacity (adjustable) for stacked pallets, industrial equipment, or containerized goods.

• Hydraulic Drive System: Energy-efficient pumps consume power only during ascent (up to 30% less energy than traction elevators).

• Industrial Construction:

  • 3mm steel cab lining with bumper guards

  • 1,200kg bi-parting metal doors

  • Oil-resistant polyurethane seals (-40°C to +80°C)

• Safety Compliance: Meets ASME B20.1, EN 81-20, and ISO 9384 standards with overload sensors, emergency stop, and pit buffers.

Critical Warehouse Applications

• Multi-Story Distribution: Transport goods from loading docks to upper-floor storage without forklifts.

• Automated Logistics: Integrates with conveyor systems for seamless dock-to-rack workflows.

• Heavy Machinery Handling: Move presses, generators, or assembly lines between production levels.

• Cold Chain Compliance: Rated for freezer warehouses (-30°C) with anti-condensation heaters.

Advantages Over Alternatives

Smart Warehouse Integration

• IoT Sensors: Real-time monitoring of load weight, door cycles, and hydraulic pressure.

• Custom Configurations:

  • 4-point leveling for uneven docks

  • Fire-rated doors (up to 90 minutes)

  • Dual control stations (cab + landing)

• Maintenance: Sealed hydraulic system reduces fluid leaks; <2 hours/month servicing.

Q/A: Hydraulic Freight Elevators in Warehouses

Q1: Why choose hydraulic over traction for freight elevators?
A1: Hydraulic systems offer higher weight capacity (up to 20,000kg), lower installation costs, and minimal machine room space. They use energy only during ascent – ideal for intermittent warehouse use.

Q2: How does weight capacity impact warehouse design?
*A2: High-capacity elevators (6,000kg+) consolidate freight movement, reducing the need for multiple lifts. This saves 15–20% of floor space versus smaller elevators.*

Q3: What’s the energy consumption comparison?
*A3: Hydraulic freight elevators use 25–30% less energy than electric traction elevators. No counterweight = no constant brake charging. Regenerative drives can recover 15% descent energy.*

Q4: Can these elevators handle pallet jacks?
A4: Yes! Specify reinforced floors (5mm diamond plate) and flush thresholds. Minimum cab depth: 2.5m for EURO pallet jacks.

Q5: Are hydraulic elevators safe for flammable environments?
*A5: Use fire-resistant HFDU fluid (auto-ignition >400°C) and explosion-proof controls. Complies with ATEX Directive for hazardous zones.*
