Recently, EKCNE Elevator (Yikecheng Elevator Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) has completed the delivery, installation, and acceptance of 12 extra-heavy-duty intelligent freight elevators customized for “Oriental Cloud Valley”—one of Asia’s largest single-unit data centers. The project marks EKCNE Elevator’s new technological benchmark in the specialized and high-demand application scenario of data centers.
Project Challenges and EKCNE’s Solutions
- Stringent Load-bearing Requirements
Challenge: The data center requires frequent transportation of heavy server racks (often exceeding 1 ton each) and large equipment.
Solution: EKCNE provided customized freight elevators with a 5,000kg load capacity, optimizing the car size and structure to match server rack dimensions. - Extreme Precision in Levelling
Challenge: Equipment handling demands ultra-high precision in elevator stopping.
Solution: EKCNE applied its patented “micron-level” permanent magnet synchronous door motor drive technology and dual-position feedback levelling system, ensuring stopping accuracy within ±3mm. - Superior Stability and Durability
Challenge: Data centers operate 24/7, imposing heavy usage on elevators.
Solution:
Reinforced steel structure car, ultra-high-strength hoisting steel ropes, and heavy-duty guide rail system extend key component lifespan by 50%.
Dual-drive system (primary + backup) ensures uninterrupted operation. - Intelligent Management and Integration
Solution: Elevators are deeply integrated into the data center’s intelligent logistics management system, supporting:
RFID equipment identification and task priority scheduling
Seamless in-car docking with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) - Efficient Maintenance Guarantee
Solution:
Equipped with EKCNE’s “Eagle Eye” remote monitoring system for 24/7 operation tracking.
Dedicated maintenance team and on-site core component reserves ensure minute-level response.
“Data centers are the core infrastructure of the digital economy, and their logistics systems must be as reliable and efficient as servers,” said Mr. Chen Wei, Facilities Director of the “Oriental Cloud Valley” project. “EKCNE Elevator’s customized freight elevator solution fully meets our strict requirements for extra-heavy loading, ultra-high precision, superior stability, and intelligence, providing strong support for the smooth and efficient operation of the data center.”
This successful delivery further consolidates EKCNE Elevator’s leading position in high-end industrial logistics and special application elevators.
