Q: What are the safety standard differences between freight elevators and passenger elevators? How to select supporting components for exported industrial freight lifts? A: Many overseas small contractors mistakenly assemble freight lifts with passenger elevator components. Long-term heavy-load operation easily causes structural deformation and serious safety hazards, leading to direct rejection during official inspection.

  1. Core standard differences between freight and passenger elevators Load conditions: Freight lifts frequently bear concentrated loads and cargo impact, requiring higher impact resistance than passenger elevators; Passenger rules: Most national standards prioritize cargo transport, discourage passenger riding and ban overloading; Car structure: Reinforced thick car walls and floors to avoid deformation from forklifts and cargo collision; Door system: Vertical heavy-duty freight doors with enhanced plate thickness and higher load-bearing door locks.
  2. Key component selection requirements for export freight elevators Traction system: Geared heavy-load traction machines are preferred to withstand impact loads from frequent start-stop; Guide rail system: Thick solid heavy-duty guide rails with high-strength mounting brackets; Door system: Heavy vertical freight doors, reinforced mechanical locks with anti-collision wear-resistant design; Safety components: Heavy-duty buffers and enlarged safety gears suitable for full-load impact conditions; Car: Thick steel car walls, optional anti-slip floor and protective structures for forklift access.
  3. Foreign trade risk reminder Clearly inform buyers that freight elevator components cannot be interchanged with passenger lift parts. Separate quotations for passenger elevator packages and heavy-duty freight lift packages. Supply freight lift type test certificates to meet acceptance standards for overseas industrial plants.
