1. Type of lift. Whether it's a human or a commodity or a towable spider lift or something.
2. Driver type. Rack and pinion, drum wire rope and traction wire rope, etc
3. Carrying capacity. The rated load of the elevator is the load when it is uniformly distributed. If the elevator needs to carry a large concentrated load, or the load distribution is not uniform, consult the elevator supplier for guidance.
4. Special consideration should be given to whether the size of the cage/bearing device related to the lifting capacity will lead to overloading.
5, the selection of the lift, should also consider the best load (cargo) size, in order to make full use of the lift.
6. Travel and speed. It is usually not possible to install the elevator to the last floor during the first installation, and most elevators are raised during subsequent work. If you need to raise in the process of work, you should carefully consider the amount you need to add and the height of the free end to be left after each raise when choosing the lift.
7. Whether it is necessary to provide the bottom channel for both ends and sides of the cage, and whether to use mechanical handling equipment.
8. Careful consideration needs to be given to the elevators entering each level station, as each station must provide sufficient space for the loading and unloading of lift cages/carriages.
9. The choice of elevator and the type of floor door should make it suitable for the population of floor stations (or scaffold type floor stations).
10, the platform should be able to withstand the load acting on it. This is especially vital when using pallet trucks or other mechanical handling equipment, because a large number of concentrated loads may be transferred to the platform.
