Freight Elevators in the Philippines
Built to Move More Than People
From everyday goods to exceptionally heavy industrial loads, Unity Express provides freight elevators configured around your cargo, operating conditions, building layout, and required capacity. Our heavy-duty freight elevator solutions can be designed for loads of up to 50,000 kg, subject to project and technical requirements.
Up to 50,000 kg • Custom Sizes • Heavy-Duty Applications • Local Support
Where Freight Elevators Are Used
Factories
Move raw materials, finished products, machinery, and equipment between production levels.
Warehouses & Logistics Facilities
Transport palletized goods, inventory, carts, and supplies between floors.
Commercial Buildings
Support deliveries, storage areas, and back-of-house operations without interfering with passenger elevators.
Hotels
Move housekeeping carts, supplies, furniture, food-service equipment, and other operational materials.
Industrial Facilities
Heavy-duty configurations can be designed for demanding loads and specialized operational requirements.
Designed Around What You Need to Move
Every building has different traffic, space, and operational requirements. Instead of using one standard specification for every project, Unity Express helps determine a practical passenger elevator configuration based on how the building will actually be used.
Pallets & Inventory
Freight elevators can support the movement of palletized goods and inventory between warehouse or storage levels.
Machinery & Equipment
Heavy-duty configurations can be designed for industrial equipment and machinery with significantly higher load requirements.
Carts & Trolleys
Cabin and door dimensions can be planned around carts, racks, and material-handling equipment.
Oversized Cargo
Larger cabin and door configurations can accommodate goods that would not fit inside a standard passenger elevator.
Production Materials
Suitable for factories and manufacturing environments where materials must move repeatedly between floors.
Designed Around Your Building
Freight elevator dimensions can be configured around an existing shaft or coordinated around a desired shaft size for a new building, subject to structural, technical, and safety requirements.
Available Shaft Size
Width, depth, pit, overhead, and structural clearances.
Required Capacity
Based on the maximum cargo weight and loading requirements.
Cabin Dimensions
Configured around the cargo rather than forcing the cargo into a standard cabin.
Door Opening
Sized according to pallets, carts, machinery, or other equipment.
Number of Floors
Configuration based on travel height and required stops.
Loading Method
Manual loading, carts, pallet movement, or other project-specific requirements.

Practical Value for Heavy-Duty Applications
Pay for the Capacity and Configuration Your Operation Actually Needs
A freight elevator does not need expensive decorative finishes or passenger-focused features that do not contribute to cargo handling.
Unity Express focuses on the factors that matter most for freight operation: load capacity, durability, usable cabin space, door dimensions, reliable operation, maintenance requirements, and long-term serviceability.
This allows projects to prioritize reliable performance while keeping specifications and investment practical.

Freight Elevator FAQs
Planning a freight elevator for a warehouse, factory, commercial building, or industrial facility?
Find answers about load capacity, cabin size, shaft requirements, heavy-duty applications, customization, installation, pricing, and maintenance.
1. What is a freight elevator?
A freight elevator is designed primarily to transport goods, materials, equipment, and heavy loads between floors. It typically uses more durable cabin, door, and structural configurations than a standard passenger elevator.
2. How much weight can a freight elevator carry?
Capacity depends on the selected system and project requirements. Unity Express can provide freight elevator configurations for standard cargo applications through heavy-duty loads of up to 50,000 kg, subject to technical evaluation.
3. Can the freight elevator cabin size be customized?
Yes. Cabin dimensions can be configured according to cargo size, load requirements, available shaft dimensions, and loading method.
4. Can a freight elevator fit an existing shaft?
In many projects, yes. Our team can evaluate the existing shaft width, depth, pit, overhead clearance, door opening, and structural conditions to determine a suitable configuration.
5. Can freight elevators carry pallets and machinery?
Yes, depending on the selected capacity and cabin configuration. The elevator can be designed around pallets, carts, machinery, industrial equipment, and other large or heavy loads.
6. What door size is required for a freight elevator?
Door dimensions depend on the size of the cargo and how it is loaded. Wider or taller openings can be configured when required for pallets, carts, or oversized equipment.
7. Where are freight elevators commonly installed?
They are commonly used in factories, warehouses, logistics facilities, commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, and industrial facilities.
8. What is the difference between a freight elevator and a passenger elevator?
Passenger elevators prioritize passenger comfort, traffic flow, and cabin appearance. Freight elevators prioritize load capacity, durability, usable cabin dimensions, and reliable handling of goods and equipment.
9. How much does a freight elevator cost in the Philippines?
Pricing depends on load capacity, cabin dimensions, number of floors, travel height, door size, shaft conditions, equipment configuration, and installation requirements. A technical assessment is recommended before preparing a quotation.
10. Does Unity Express install and maintain freight elevators in the Philippines?
Yes. Unity Express provides freight elevator supply, installation, testing, commissioning, preventive maintenance, repair, modernization, and technical support in the Philippines.
