KONE Freight Elevators

Unlike passenger elevators adapted for freight, KONE Freight Elevators are designed from the ground up for industrial loading and unloading needs.

Heavy-duty vertical transport engineered for the demands of industrial and commercial operations. Purpose-built for capacity, durability, and straightforward operation. Every freight elevator is designed for its specific application, not pulled from an off-the-shelf catalog. That means the right platform size, the right door configuration, the right freight loading classification, and the right capacity for your facility — the first time.

Built for the work, not the workaround

When your operation depends on moving heavy loads reliably between floors, you need an elevator designed specifically for that purpose. The KONE Freight Elevator delivers the capacity, platform size, and loading flexibility to handle the real demands of data centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and multi-story commercial buildings.

Three models. One solution.

KONE offers three freight elevator configurations to match your specific operational requirements and building constraints. Each model is available in front-only or front-and-rear door configurations. Use the specification cards below to find the right fit for your load, space, and speed requirements.

Door and platform design

Freight elevator doors are engineered differently than passenger elevator doors. KONE freight doors open vertically rather than horizontally, maximizing the usable opening for wide or oversized loads.

Vertical-opening doors standard on all models
Door width typically 4 inches narrower than platform width for structural integrity
Door height matches full cab height for maximum clearance
Front-only or front-and-rear door configurations available
Platform sizes range from 6 ft × 8 ft up to 12 ft 4 in × 16 ft, depending on model and capacity

Simple, reliable operation

Freight elevators prioritize function over complexity. The KONE Freight Elevator uses single-automatic operation, meaning one call is processed at a time, ensuring predictable, controlled movement of your freight.

Single-automatic operation for straightforward, one-at-a-time dispatch
In-use indicator light and call button at each hall station
Door open bell or chime on car top for safety awareness
Optional arrival lanterns available
Designed for use by operators and loading personnel only, per code requirements
