Frequently asked questions

KONE Freight Elevators are purpose-built industrial elevator solutions engineered from the ground up for goods transport – not adapted from passenger elevator designs. Available in three models (MonoSpace 700 DX, MonoSpace MRL Freight DX, and MiniSpace Freight DX), they serve a range of applications from standard commercial warehouses to large-scale industrial and distribution facilities, with capacities from 4,000 to 15,000 lbs.

KONE Freight Elevators are available in three capacity ranges: the MonoSpace 700 DX handles 4,000–5,000 lbs for standard commercial freight; the MonoSpace MRL Freight DX handles 6,000–10,000 lbs for continuous heavy industrial use; and the MiniSpace Freight DX handles 8,000–15,000 lbs for the most demanding logistics and industrial throughput requirements.

KONE Freight Elevators are designed to meet all ASME A17.1 freight loading classifications: Class A (general freight), Class B (motor vehicles), Class C1 (industrial trucks – standard use), Class C2 (industrial trucks – temporary overload), and Class C3 (heavy industrial loading where vehicles do not travel with the load). Talk to your local KONE sales representative to confirm which classes apply to your specific model and project requirements.
