Classification of Freight Elevators

There are two popular types of freight elevators on the market today:

Hydraulic Freight Elevator: Operates based on hydraulic principles, using pistons and hydraulic oil to lift and lower goods. Advantages include safety, ease of use, durability, and high load capacity.
Motor Hoist Elevator: Uses an electric motor to pull cables and lift/lower goods. Advantages include fast lifting speed, low cost, and suitability for high-rise buildings, but the disadvantage is smaller load capacity.
