freight elevator

Industrial vertical hauler

A freight elevator is a large elevator designed to carry heavy goods, equipment, and cargo rather than passengers.

These elevators typically have reinforced floors, higher weight capacities, and wider doors than passenger elevators to accommodate pallets, machinery, and bulk materials.

We had to use the freight elevator to move the grand piano.

In older buildings, freight elevators often have manual gates or doors that open vertically.
