| With 75 years of experience in constructing freight equipment, The Murphy Elevator Company understands heavy duty elevators. Murphy can custom design freight elevators at any size, speed and capacity. Murphy has installed freight elevators of all sizes in all types of buildings, including hospitals, schools, factories, high rises, hotels, warehouses, retail stores, and government facilities at capacities up to 20,000 pounds.
As always, everything we install is non-proprietary, giving you control over your equipment. Like all our products, these elevators are designed for years of heavy daily use. Please see our Planning Guide in the Resources tab for preliminary planning of your project.
In accordance with ASME A17.1, Rule 207.2b, Murphy can design your freight elevator to meet any of the freight elevator load classifications. Print Friendly Version
Class A: General Freight Loading – A single piece of freight or loaded hand truck does not exceed 25% of rated load of the elevator. The load is moved on and off manually or by a hand truck.
Class B: Motor Vehicle Loading: Used solely to carry automotive trucks or passenger cars up to rated capacity. Elevator cab components are designed for the concentrated load imposed on it by the vehicle.
Class C: Freight is intended to be loaded with a power truck. Elevator cab components are designed for concentrated loads imposed by this type of loading.
