Stainless Steel Goods Elevator

• Used for vertical transport of goods in food processing plants.
• Suitable for moving pharmaceutical products and raw materials between floor levels.
• Applied in chemical manufacturing for handling drums and containers.
• Utilised in logistics and warehousing for multi-level storage and retrieval of items.
• Commonly found in packaging lines requiring elevation of products before further processing.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 2000 kg, though custom units can exceed this.

Typical lift height

Units are typically designed for specific floor-to-floor heights, with no inherent maximum limit for custom builds.

Construction material

This unit is specified as stainless steel, which is standard for hygiene-critical environments; mild steel options are also common for other applications.

Drive mechanism

Units of this type commonly feature a chain drive system for reliable vertical movement.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power depending on capacity and speed requirements.

Safety features

Units commonly include safety guarding, emergency stops, and interlocks as standard, with fully enclosed options available.

Footprint

The footprint is highly dependent on the required platform size and lift height, typically requiring a dedicated shaft or structural support.
