Cargo Lift
A medium-capacity lift designed for goods and limited operator attendance typically 500–2,000kg. Used in retail stores, supermarkets, warehouses, and light industrial facilities. Often has wider doors and reinforced cabin.
Freight Elevator
Heavy industrial lift built for large pallets, vehicles, and bulk materials typically 2,000–5,000kg+ capacity. Used in factories, logistics centers, hospitals (large equipment), and parking structures. Often with double doors, ramp-level access, and reinforced flooring.

It depends on certification. A true dumbwaiter is goods-only (no passengers Pakistani safety code prohibits this). Standard cargo lifts can be certified for goods-with-operator use meaning one person can ride along to control loading at each floor. Heavy freight elevators are typically goods-only with separate passenger access. We clarify certification scope in your quote.
Dumbwaiter installation typically takes 5–10 days. Standard cargo lifts (500–2,000kg) require 10–18 days. Heavy freight elevators (2,000–5,000kg) typically take 18–30 days. Civil readiness affects the timeline most.
