Overview
A freight elevator or goods lift, is an elevator designed to carry goods. Freight elevators are generally required to display a written notice in the car that the use by passengers is prohibited.
Freight elevators are typically larger and capable of carrying heavier loads than a passenger elevator, generally from 2,300 to 4,500 kg. Freight elevators may have manually operated doors and often have rugged interior finishes to prevent damage while loading and unloading.
