The difference between reciprocating hoist and continuous hoist

A reciprocating elevator is designed to transport large and heavy items back and forth between floors. It can be understood as conveying goods from the first floor to the second floor, or from the second floor to the first floor, or in both directions. Its conveying load can reach up to 4000KG. The conveying efficiency of a reciprocating elevator is lower than that of a continuous elevator, with a maximum load of 10-15 pallets per hour. The reason for this is that the conveying capacity is large, the load capacity of the transported items is large, and the reciprocating conveying is also possible.

A continuous hoist is designed to transport fixed items with a single shape in a unidirectional and continuous manner, with a maximum load capacity of 200KG, That is to say, if the design is to transport goods from the first floor to the second floor continuously, it is like this. If it is necessary to transport goods from the first floor to the second floor and also from the second floor to the first floor, it is recommended to choose a reciprocating elevator. The reciprocating elevator is designed to achieve a reciprocating and non fixed transportation method between floors. Some enterprises do not require the weight of the transported goods to be very important, and the transportation frequency is high. At this time, it will be associated with continuous elevators that can also operate in both directions, of course, but this will bring instability to the operation of the equipment. Frequent such operations will cause damage to the functional components of the continuous elevator, and even make it unable to operate.

As a manufacturer of elevators, we should follow the design principles of elevators, so it is not recommended to use continuous elevators to achieve this operation during use.
