Frequently asked questions

A freight elevator - also called a goods elevator - is designed specifically to transport heavy loads, goods, and materials between floors. Freight elevators prioritize load capacity, durability, and ease of loading and unloading.

The KONE 2000 is available in three load configurations: 2,000 kg, 3,000 kg, and 5,000 kg, with speeds of 0.5 m/s or 1.0 m/s. 

A freight elevator is built exclusively for transporting heavy goods and industrial loads, with reinforced construction and high weight capacities. A service elevator is designed for staff and moderate loads - similar to a passenger elevator - and is more commonly found in hotels, hospitals, and office buildings.

The KONE 2000 is designed for demanding freight environments including warehouses, factories, hotels, and public transport facilities.

The KONE 2000's gearless traction machine delivers up to 40% energy savings through low starting current and high transmission efficiency. Its oil-free operation also reduces maintenance demands and environmental impact, contributing to a lower lifecycle footprint.

The KONE 2000 is available in both configurations. The machine-room-less version integrates the hoisting equipment within the shaft, maximizing usable building space — ideal for buildings with limited space. The machine room version houses equipment in a dedicated room, supporting durability and seamless operation while helping meet green building goals. Both versions share the same load, speed, and travel specifications.
