Possible applications of the OLYMPUS heavy duty goods lift:

Production

In production facilities, heavy duty goods lifts freight and goods lifts enable the fast and easy movement of goods between different levels. Our AGV-ready factory automation solution further ensures that production processes can be sped up and improved. 

 

Our OLYMPUS freight elevator is particularly suitable for transporting extremely large and heavy goods weighing up to 20,000 kg.

Logistics and Distribution

Freight elevators are optimally suited for use in logistics companies. Tailor-made and easy to install, they can greatly simplify and improve process flows.

 

Our OLYMPUS heavy duty goods lift can transport up to 20,000 kg and is therefore suitable for particularly heavy goods. In addition, Lödige’s AGV freight lifts can be designed so that they can be accessed by forklift trucks or tugger trains.

Event and Shopping Centres

In event and shopping centres, goods and heavy loads have to be transported quickly. With the help of goods and freight elevators,, it is possible to easily transport goods to different levels away from visitors and at the appropriate delivery points.

 

Our OLYMPUS goods lift makes it possible to transport a larger number and heavier loads at once. 

Hotels

Our heavy duty goods lift can be integrated very well into hotel operations. Our OLYMPUS is particularly suitable for transporting cleaning trolleys and laundry separately from the hotel guests.

 

In addition, you have the option of installing lift options for the staff or protection through the key switch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A heavy-duty goods lift, or freight elevator, is a specialised type of elevator or platform lift designed for the efficient and safe transportation of heavy loads or goods between different floors within a building. These lifts are engineered to handle substantial weight capacities, making them well-suited for industrial, commercial, or warehouse environments.

These types of lifts typically have a high load capacity carrying significant weight. This can range from several hundred kilograms to several tons, depending on the specific model and application.

As a result, they are suitable for handling heavy machinery, equipment, pallets, large containers, and other bulky goods.

An AGV, or Automated Guided Vehicle, also referred to as a self-guided vehicle, is a type of material handling system or load carrier that operates independently of any operator or driver. They are designed to travel throughout a warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing facility, carrying out various tasks related to the movement of materials.

AGVs are usually either integrated with or replace forklifts and conveyor systems. They are commonly used for transporting raw materials, such as metal, plastic, rubber, or paper, from the receiving area to the warehouse or directly to production lines. AGVs ensure a consistent and reliable supply of raw materials without the need for human intervention, guaranteeing uninterrupted production and material flow.

The OLYMPUS heavy goods lift and freight elevator offers several benefits that make it an ideal solution for storage and production facilities:

  • Convenient Vertical Transportation: The OLYMPUS heavy goods lift provides easy and efficient vertical transportation of goods within storage and production facilities. With its high load capacity and lifting height, it enables the smooth movement of heavy loads between multiple floors.
  • Flexibility and Adaptability: The OLYMPUS series includes ten highly efficient standard lifts with varying load capacities, cabin, and door dimensions. Its modular design allows for different configurations to be implemented, making it flexible enough to adapt easily to specific needs and structural conditions.
  • Reliability: Heavy duty goods lifts are designed to withstand the demands of storage and production environments, providing a rugged and reliable solution for vertical material movement. 

The OLYMPUS lift is designed for easy and efficient operation in storage and production facilities. Its user-friendly controls, autonomous operation, and modular design contribute to a straightforward experience.

Comprehensive safety features ensure the protection of operators and goods during transportation. Proper training is provided for operators, further enhancing ease of use.
