Frequently Asked Questions
What European standards apply to freight elevators from Turkey?
Freight elevators on elevator.tr are manufactured in compliance with EN 81-20 and EN 81-50 (guided electric or hydraulic goods lifts with access for persons) and EN 81-31 (accessible platforms for goods transport, without passenger access). CE marking is standard. For specialized industrial applications such as vehicle lifts or heavy-duty scissor platforms, relevant machinery directive certifications (2006/42/EC) may also apply — confirm requirements in your RFQ.
What load capacities and platform sizes are available?
Turkish freight elevator manufacturers on elevator.tr offer standard platform loads from 500 kg to 20,000 kg. Platform dimensions can be configured from standard pallet-width formats (1,200 mm x 1,000 mm) through to full-floor industrial platforms of 3,000 mm x 5,000 mm or larger. Forklift-entry configurations, drive-through door layouts, and reinforced steel flooring are available as standard options for heavy-duty logistics applications.
What is the minimum order quantity for freight elevators?
Turkish manufacturers on elevator.tr accept single-unit orders for project procurement. For warehouse roll-out programs or industrial facility fit-outs requiring multiple identical units, volume pricing with reduced lead times is available. The platform's RFQ tool allows you to specify quantity requirements and request tiered pricing simultaneously from multiple manufacturers.
What are typical lead times for custom freight elevator configurations?
Standard catalogue freight elevator configurations typically ship within 10 to 14 weeks. Custom platform sizes, non-standard capacities, or specialized door systems may extend lead times to 16 to 20 weeks. Turkish manufacturers provide detailed production schedules at order confirmation and maintain regular progress reporting for project procurement teams managing critical path timelines.
