Custom Freight Elevator: Providing both Traction and Hydraulic solutions for Warehouses, Factories, Steel Structures and Limited Shafts
— EN81 & CE Certified.
Freight elevators differ from passenger elevators; they are specifically built for moving heavy goods safely and efficiently inside warehouses, factories and industrial buildings.
In real projects, forklifts, pallet trucks and large cargo enter the elevator every day. This requires larger cabin sizes, wider door openings, reinforced floors and impact protection — far beyond the requirements of passenger elevators.
That is why freight elevators are rarely standard products. Cabin dimensions, door width, load capacity and shaft conditions must be designed around your building structure and cargo handling method.
At Dazen, we manufacture both traction and hydraulic freight elevators for heavy-duty industrial use, with load capacities up to 10,000 kg, fully compliant with EN81, CE and EAC standards.
Our solutions are widely used in warehouses, production lines, steel-structure buildings, shopping centers and exhibition facilities where durability, safety and non-standard customisation are critical.
Freight elevators are rarely standard. Cabin size, door opening, load and shaft conditions must be custom-designed to fit pallets, forklifts and real buildings.
Dazen freight elevators are design for various cargo transportation needs:
To withstand the frequent impacts and friction of cargo transport, our freight elevators feature reinforced steel floors, thick painted steel walls, and protected door frames.
This is what determines whether the elevator can operate reliably for 15+ years.
Many freight elevators are used in cold storage rooms, hot climates, dusty warehouses or semi-outdoor shafts. Electrical protection, material choice and system design must account for these conditions to ensure stable operation.
When forklifts and heavy goods enter the cabin every day, structural safety becomes critical. Our freight elevators compliance with EN81 and CE standards ensures the elevator is designed for real industrial use and long-term reliability.
We offer traction, hydraulic, and MRL freight elevators, which can be customized to meet your specific needs.

We have exported to more than 50 countries. Powerful service internet and install team makes us build relationships with customers who come from European, Middle East, South America, South East Asia.
Our Mongolian client — the country’s largest dairy and ice cream producer — chose Dazen Elevator to supply four 4000kg freight elevators for their factory expansion.
We sent our engineers twice to Mongolia to assist with installation, testing, and on-site guidance, ensuring every detail met safety and performance standards.
Our client is a machinery factory in Malaysia. We modernized an old freight elevator for them that had been in use for over two years.
Just provide your project requirements, including shaft dimensions and load capacity. Our team will provide custom layouts and technical quotes within 24 hours.
Yes. We provide an installation manual. For complex projects, we can dispatch engineers to your site.
Absolutely. Hydraulic freight elevators are ideal for steel structure buildings.
Our standard delivery time is generally 20-35 working days.
Do your freight elevators follow Class A or Class C loading standards? While Class A/C are ASME standard, our elevators are engineered to EN 81 (European) and CE standards. These provide equivalent or superior structural reinforcement.
As a manufacturer based in Jiangsu, China, we offer competitive factory-direct pricing and guaranteed quality.
