A freight elevator is a type of elevator designed specifically for transporting heavy goods and materials between different floors of a building. Unlike regular elevators that carry passengers, freight elevators have larger doors and a sturdier design to accommodate bulky items like furniture, equipment, or pallets. They are commonly found in warehouses, factories, and commercial buildings. These elevators often have a lower weight limit than passenger elevators, allowing them to handle significant loads safely. Freight elevators can be operated manually or automatically, and they usually have a simple control system to ensure easy access for workers.
