freight elevators
Industrial vertical transport
Freight elevators are elevators designed to carry goods rather than passengers.
They're typically larger, sturdier, and plainer than passenger elevators, with reinforced floors and wide doors to accommodate heavy loads, pallets, or equipment: We moved the furniture up in the freight elevator.
Most commercial buildings restrict their use to deliveries and maintenance.
