The control system of the freight elevator is equipped with modern technology, using a control system based on voltage variation and VVVF inverter for small and medium sized freight elevator doors. As for large elevator doors, the system uses DC transmission to increase the capacity and durability of the system.

The motor control system of the freight elevator uses stepless speed control through frequency and voltage variation, helping to save energy. This also helps the freight elevator stop at floors accurately, facilitating the transportation of goods and integration with forklifts.

APPLICATIONS OF FREIGHT ELEVATORS

Below are some important applications of freight elevators :

  • Freight elevators in the food industry: In the food industry, freight elevators help transport goods from cold storage to the floors of stores or food factories.

  • Freight hoists in logistics: In the logistics industry, they are used to optimize work flow and transport goods in distribution centers.

  • Freight elevators in manufacturing and construction: Manufacturing and construction industries use freight elevators to move materials, machinery, and components from one floor to another.

In short, freight elevators have many important applications in many different industries. They help optimize the transportation of goods and materials, save time and effort, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of manufacturing and service processes.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FREIGHT ELEVATOR AND A PASSENGER ELEVATOR

To have an overview of the difference between freight elevators and passenger elevators , join Hoang Sa Viet Elevator to learn more details about the important differences between them.

Freight elevator

Passenger elevator

Structure

Simpler than passenger elevators, there are no safety devices for people.

Including cabin, tractor, counterweight and human safety equipment.

Weight

100 - 5000kg

300 - 2000kg

Ladder pit (Pit pit)

  • Pit size depends on the weight of the elevator
  • For ladders with load weight < 200kg, there is no need for a PIT pit because it is a food elevator so the volume is not large.

Pit size is usually 1000mm deep or more

Speed

From 30m/min - 60m/min, because of carrying goods, the allowable speed of movement is quite low.

From 60m/min - 150m/min depending on the design of the number of floors of the building

Engine

  • Ladders < 200kg are used to transport food and light goods, so cable drum-type tractors are often used.
  • Elevators > 200kg are used to lift heavy goods, so the engine is often used like a passenger elevator.

Engines are manufactured from major manufacturers such as Fuji, Mitsubishi, Montanari, Otis, Thyssenkrupp,...

Classify

  • Light food elevator < 200kg.
  • Ladder for loading cars and goods > 200kg.

There are two main lines: joint-venture passenger elevators and imported passenger elevators.

Price

Much cheaper than other elevators.

Depending on the engine type, design, and number of floors, the price will vary.

POPULAR TYPES OF FREIGHT ELEVATORS

Currently, there are many different types of freight elevators on the market , including two main specific lines:

Freight elevators combine to transport people

This line of freight elevators is designed to transport goods with large loads, and is also capable of carrying people. When using this elevator, not only does transporting goods become more efficient, but it also makes this process safer and more convenient. This type of ladder is highly appreciated for its stability and safety, meeting the needs of both transporting goods and people.

Freight elevator without passengers

Unaccompanied goods elevators are often widely used in warehouses, factories, industrial parks and similar environments. Unaccompanied freight elevators are specifically designed to carry goods without transporting people.

STRUCTURE AND WORKING PRINCIPLES OF FREIGHT ELEVATORS

Freight elevators are an important component of the infrastructure of many industries. They have diverse structures and operating principles to suit the specific purposes and requirements of each application. Below, we will explore each important aspect of the freight elevator to better understand this line of freight elevators.

About structure

  • Cabin and doors: Freight elevators have larger cabins than commuter elevators, due to the need to accommodate goods of large size and weight. Additionally, they often have large doors, allowing goods to be inserted and removed easily.

  • Lifting system: Cargo hoists are equipped with lifting systems, including cables, chains, or clutches to control the movement of goods up and down.

  • Control system: To ensure safety and performance, the freight elevator has an intelligent control system to manage the transportation process and ensure that unwanted impacts will not occur.

About working principle

Freight elevators operate through a complex electromechanical system. When the hoist is activated, the motor will start operating and the screen system linked to the elevator will begin to rotate. When the pulley rotates, the cable will move, pulling the cabin in the pre-set direction. On the contrary, when the machine needs to move up or down, the trapezoidal machine will change direction, causing the mesh to work in the opposite direction to perform this process.

SAFETY FEATURES OF FREIGHT ELEVATORS

Below, we would like to introduce the specific safety features of the freight elevator line :

  • Mechanical door lock system: The freight elevator is equipped with a mechanical door lock system, helping to ensure safety. In case the elevator is not located on the required floor, the door will not open, preventing users from accessing the elevator.

  • Door safety: The elevator safety system includes a feature that ensures that if the elevator door is not closed, the elevator will not operate. During the running process, if the door opens suddenly, the elevator will stop immediately to ensure safety.

  • Emergency lighting: Emergency lighting is equipped under the cabin or on the cabin roof to warn users to stay away from the freight elevator area when it is in operation.

  • Overload notification system: This system helps freight elevators avoid overloading, especially when goods exceed the maximum allowed weight. When overload occurs, the alarm bell will ring continuously and the elevator will not operate until the load is reduced to a safe level.

  • Lighting and ventilation system: This system helps save energy. Lights and fans only operate when the elevator stops at the correct floor, the doors are open, and stop working otherwise, helping to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

  • Automatic rescue system when the power goes out: In the event of a power outage, the automatic rescue system will operate to bring goods and accompanying people to the nearest floor so that they can continue to use the elevator safely when the power goes out. return. If there is an automatic door, the door will open and remain open until power is restored.

  • External communication system in case of trouble: This system is an important factor to ensure safety. It will be connected to a telephone or fixed notification device in a location that is easily identifiable when an incident occurs. When the alarm rings, users can immediately contact management or technical services to ensure timely help.

  • Mechanical braking and anti-speeding system: This is an important safety feature, especially in cases where the elevator is overspeeding. The Governor system works by applying mechanical brakes to the rails, preventing the cabin from falling freely. This is an additional option and is often used in passenger elevators.

  • Error display function: The freight elevator has a built-in error display function, helping to identify problems when problems occur. Errors will be displayed on control panels, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and off-floor displays. This helps technical staff quickly identify and handle problems, ensuring the safety and performance of the elevator.

  • Motor protection function: To ensure the durability and safety of the motor, freight elevators are often equipped with an automatic stop function after operating for a long time, usually 10 seconds. This helps avoid overheating and the risk of engine fire.

  • Other safety systems: In addition to the above features, freight elevators are also equipped with other safety systems such as floor stop alarms to notify users when the elevator stops at the necessary floor, and loss protection. phase and reverse phase to ensure the electrical system always operates properly.
