Industrial freight elevators features and functionality
Industrial freight elevators are lifting tables which allow operators to easily reach the highest points of a warehouse (or any other structure) to transport loads quickly and safely. Unlike traditional freight elevators, industrial lifting tables are designed for lifting and transporting heavy loads.
Main features of industrial freight elevators
Depending on the context of use, in the commercial, civil or industrial field, scissor freight elevators differ in many characteristics. The main elements to be taken into account for the correct use of scissor tables used as freight elevators are the following:
- capacity, i.e. the rated load capacity;
- dimensions, i.e. the surface available to transport loads;
- technology for operation, which can be electrical or hydraulic;
- construction materials.
The different combination of these characteristics allows to have industrial freight elevators suitable for specific uses and spaces
How to choose the ideal industrial freight elevators
Depending on the differences in height to be overcome, it is advisable to choose the industrial freight elevators that best suit your needs and the context of use. In fact, elevators for production plants have different technical properties than freight elevators designed for civil use.
It often happens in an industrial plant the needs to transport material from one floor to another. In the civil field, on the other hand, the construction of structures and buildings must take into account increasingly stringent regulations regarding the overcoming of architectural barriers.
For both the industrial and civil contexts, Armo offers ideal solutions to deal efficiently and safely with every difference in height.
Freight elevator tables for industry and construction
In the industrial field, Armo scissor freight elevators guarantee maximum efficiency and low costs for installation and maintenance. Thanks to the “scissor” technology, in fact, it is possible to make the most of the space available on the upper frame. Hydraulic handling also allows you to withstand a wide range of rated capacities.
For civil applications, on the other hand, thanks to the numerous options available such as handrails, gates, photocells and automatic protections, Armo lifting tables allow you to overcome architectural barriers ensuring competitiveness, durability and greater ductility than the classic rope lifts. The scissor freight elevator tables used as a connection between floors, in fact, can be installed without run-ways, with considerable economic savings and a lower aesthetic impact. Another strong point is the reliability obtained thanks to their “industrial” derivation which, combined with the simplicity of operation and extremely low maintenance costs, makes them ideal also for the building sector
Armo industrial scissor freight elevator models
Armo’s lifting tables, with the ATX and AQX models, overcome the differences in height up to 6 meters, with capacities ranging from 500 to 7000 kg. The dimensions of the upper frame can be different, from small tables (1200 x 800 mm) up to large and voluminous surfaces, but without requiring excessive space.
The ATX and AQX models are customizable and can be used to:
- reach elevated floors for warehouse and construction activities;
- overcome architectural barriers;
- transport cars from one floor to another or to access underground garages.
All Armo scissor freight elevator tables are made in full compliance with current safety regulations (European Standard EN1570-1 and later) and their construction is managed in a single production plant to ensure timely and precise order fulfilment. Finally, the experience deriving from 50 years of design and production in the logistics system ensures flexibility, quality and efficiency to meet the demands of every company or commercial activity.
