At present, there are very few pure freight elevators, which are mixed use of passenger and cargo, but in fact, passenger elevator and freight elevators are still very different.

Passenger elevator refers to an elevator designed for transporting passengers, with complete safety measures and beautiful interior decoration. Cargo elevators are mainly elevators for transporting goods, while allowing people to accompany them. There are perfect safety measures and basic car interior decoration.

From the appearance point of view, most freight elevators are rectangular, and the space is larger than passenger elevators. The width of elevator doors is larger, usually two side opening doors or four center dividing doors. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods and transportation Out, generally equipped with anti-collision door covers, car anti-collision wall panels, and floor anti-pressure reinforcement; and there are many more types of passenger elevators. For the sake of beauty, they will add decorations or mirrors and other items in the passenger elevator, which is more in line with passengers’ Aesthetic.

From the perspective of the load and speed of elevators, passenger elevators generally serve shopping malls, residences, hotels, office buildings and other occasions. According to different passenger flows and floor heights, the load is usually less than 1600kg, the number of passengers is less than 21, and the speed is less than 3m /s passenger elevator. The nameplate in the car will indicate the load and the number of people. Customers can also choose different car decorations according to their personal preferences and the decoration style of the supporting building. Cargo elevators generally serve industrial plants. Depending on the height of the cargo and the height of the plant, cargo elevators with a load of less than 5000kg and a speed of 0.5m/s or 1.0m/s are usually selected. Because freight elevators are mainly used to transport goods, except for the accompanying persons who transport the goods, in principle, passengers are not allowed, so the nameplate in the car generally only indicates the load and not the number of people. The interior decoration of the freight elevator is usually only the basic decoration. In addition, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of cargo, the width of the door opening is relatively larger. Sometimes, for more convenient transportation of cargo, the freight elevator will also choose the elevator design that passes through the door.
