Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Goods Lift?

 A Goods Lift is a special type of elevator specifically designed to move goods, packages, and heavy items from one floor to another within a building. It's also known as an Industrial Lift. These lifts are larger and stronger than regular passenger elevators and are mainly used in businesses like factories, warehouses, and workshops.

What is the difference between a Freight Elevator and a Goods Lift?

 Both Freight Elevators and Goods Lifts are used for moving goods up and down. They are generally designed for heavier and larger loads and is best suited for industrial needs.

How does a Hydraulic Goods Lift work?


A Hydraulic Goods Lift operates using hydraulic cylinder and power pack.

In this system, oil is pumped into a cylinder with the help of a power pack, which pushes a piston upwards, causing the cabin to move up. When the oil is released, the cabin comes down. This type of lift is excellent for moving heavy loads quickly and easily. We offer options like Platform Lifts and Wall-Mounted Lifts in this category.

What are the advantages of an Electric Goods Lift?

An Electric Goods Lift runs on electricity and is great for moving even very heavy goods quickly. They are reliable and convenient to use. Rachna Elevator & Cranes offers Electric Goods Lifts with various options like Platform Lifts and Wall-Mounted Lifts, which can be customized to meet your specific needs.

Can a Goods Lift be installed in a home?

What are the special features of a Freight Elevator?

Our Freight Elevators have several special features, including:

Digital Car Position Indicator shows cabin position on all the floors.

UP/DN Indicator shown the direction in which cabin is moving.

Voltage Protection: Upper and lower limit can be defined in each phase (220V) instead of consolidated 3 phase (440 V). This means maximum safety.

  • Over & Under Load protection can be defined by ampere setting in individual phase.
  • Phase Preventer saves electrical parts when the single or two phase is out of supply.
  • Phase Sequence Corrector / Auto Phase Changer automatically corrects the phase polarity when phase get change.
  • MFLS (Magnetic Floor and Final Sensing with the help of REED sensor) latest upgrade of limit switch (old & traditional technology). Though Reed sensor works on sensing technology instead of physical contact, their life is very high. Also, accuracy of the same is unmatched.
  • Special M.C.B. developed for Rachna Elevator & Cranes to provide final safety in case of malfunctioning in the panel.
  • Buffer is provided in the pit to cure the cabin from damage.
  • Doors: Collapsible.
  • Maximum opening after the bunch.
  • Emergency Stop button is provided on all floor to stop the cabin in case of emergency.
  • Electrical Mechanical Door Lock: -
    • Door will not open during the lift movement.
    • Door will open only on the floor where the cabin land.

  • Over Speed Governor stop the lift in case of free fall of the cabin by applying mechanical brake / safety dogs. This comes with counterweight.
What if there is no shaft in the building?

If there is no shaft in the building, we can install an Elevator by fabricating a structure. This structure can be covered with GP Sheet, Glass, Fiber, or Wire Mesh. It can be installed both indoors and outdoors, saving time and cost.

What is a Hydraulic Freight Elevator Hole Less Type?

A Hydraulic Freight Elevator Hole Less Type is a safe technology. In this type, the cylinder is installed alongside the wall, and the power pack pushes the oil upwards, causing the cabin to rise. It consumes less electricity and is easy to maintain. Also, it doesn't require a heavy supporting structure.
