Yu Standard Freight Elevator

A magnetic heavy lift elevator designed for moving freight between levels in space stations or on space ships.

History

Description

The standard freight elevator uses a Maglev system similar to the high-speed transit system on the Tanya-Class Expeditionary Heavy Cruiser. It consists of a magrail system and an open sided and open topped 25×25 meters lift platform capable of moving two fully loaded SSCC-Huge sized containers or most crafts in the Star Army of Yamatai small craft inventory.

Smaller versions of the Yu Standard Freight Elevator come in 20×20, 15×15, and 10×10. Much larger ones are capable of being made for custom order, but the lift panel and housing will require extra reinforcement.

Potentially more complex systems of magrails could be utilized to move the lift platform along rails moving either vertically or horizontally.

Standard Features

  • Safety lights and markings
  • Tie down anchors
  • Slip resistant surface
  • Analogue safety breaks
  • Control panels on the lift and on exit levels

Optional Features

  • Retractable or folding gates and safety rails.
  • Atmosphere containment forcefield.

Cost

The price varies by size of the lift platform and the number of decks it is expected to traverse.

Lift Platform Size Factory Cost Retrofit Cost
10×10 meters 100KS + 50KS/Deck 125KS + 70KS/Deck
15×15 meters 150KS + 50KS/Deck 170KS + 70KS/Deck

Usage

While the Standard Freight Elevator is primarily designed to move cargo, it can also function as a lift for craft and weapons on a carrier.
