Vision Elevators

Freight Elevators

Heavy-duty lifting for demanding buildings

Vision Elevators supplies freight elevator solutions for moving people and heavy products, equipment and materials between levels in commercial, industrial, warehousing and retail environments.
Each system is planned around the load, passenger requirements, building layout, travel height and operating demands of the site.

Built for Larger Loads and Bigger Demands

Freight elevators are designed to move people, heavy products, equipment and materials between levels. Unlike goods-only hoists, they can carry passengers as well as goods.
From stock and pallets to equipment and industrial materials, the final configuration is selected around how goods enter, move through and leave the building.
Machine-Room-Less Freight Elevators
A configuration where the drive equipment is accommodated within the lift system, helping where space planning is a key consideration.
Machine-Room Freight Elevators
A conventional arrangement with a dedicated machine room, suited to projects where this forms part of the building design.
Cabins, Doors and Controls
Cabins can be specified with durable industrial finishes, door arrangements, flooring and operating panels suited to the working environment.

Frequently asked questions

Can people travel in a freight elevator?

Yes. Vision’s freight elevators can carry people as well as goods. Always follow the lift’s rated capacity and operating instructions.

How does a freight elevator differ from a goods-only hoist?

Freight elevators are designed for heavy-duty transport of people and goods. Goods-only hoists are for materials and goods and are not passenger lifts.

How is the required freight-elevator capacity assessed?

Provide the type and weight of the goods or equipment and explain whether people will accompany the load. Loading methods, access routes and the building’s operating demands also inform the specification.

What configurations and finishes can be considered?

Machine-room and machine-room-less arrangements are available for assessment. Durable cabin finishes, flooring, door arrangements and operating panels can be selected around the working environment.

What should I include in a freight-elevator enquiry?

Share load requirements, building plans, travel height and the levels to be served. Include shaft, pit and overhead space, door-opening needs, loading arrangements and any passenger requirements.
