Car elevators usually have a speed range of 0.25 m/s to 0.5 m/s. This speed range is designed to ensure smooth transportation of cars in the elevator while meeting the transportation needs of different parking floors. Specifically, the standard load of a car elevator is usually 3,000 kg or 5,000 kg, and the speed is between 0.25-0.5 m/s.

Safety considerations behind speed
There are profound safety considerations behind the speed setting of car elevators. Lower speeds help reduce the impact of the elevator in an emergency and protect the safety of passengers and vehicles. At the same time, this also provides a guarantee for the smooth operation of the elevator.
Balance between speed and efficiency
Despite the slow speed, the efficiency of car elevators cannot be underestimated. Compared with traditional car ramps, car elevators can save 80% of building area and more than twice the car turnover efficiency. This improvement in efficiency has led to the widespread use of car elevators in large shopping malls, supermarkets and other places.
