In a freight lift system, the motor is the "heart" that determines the speed, stability, durability, and load-bearing capacity of the entire equipment.

Currently, the two most commonly used motor groups on the market are:

• Mitsubishi-branded motors made in Thailand
• Motors manufactured in China

So how are these two types different? Which one should be chosen for VNDB freight lifts? The article below will help you understand clearly

.1. What is a Mitsubishi Thai motor?

Mitsubishi motors manufactured in Thailand are well known for:

• Smooth operation with low vibration
• High durability and less heat generation during operation
• Stable performance under heavy loads or continuous operation
• Suitable for combination with inverters in VNDB freight lift systems

This motor line is selected by many factories and logistics warehouses when quality and long service life are priorities.

2. What is a Chinese motor?

Chinese motors offer several advantages:

• Low price, suitable for limited budgets
• Spare parts are easy to replace
• Suitable for small projects and light to medium loads

However, it is important to choose a reputable supplier because the Chinese motor market has many different quality segments.

3. Detailed comparison table

Criteria	Mitsubishi (Thailand)	China
Smoothness - vibration	Very smooth, low vibration	Noisier, higher vibration
Load-bearing capability	Stable under slight overload	More sensitive under high loads
Efficiency	High, energy-saving	Average
Compatibility with inverter	Optimal - smooth and steady operation	Compatible, but less smooth
Price	25-40% higher	Lower - cost-saving
Maintenance - repair	Fewer failures, lower cost	Requires more frequent maintenance
Recommended application	Factories, large warehouses, continuous operation	Small projects, basic needs

4. Which type should be used for freight lifts?

Choose Mitsubishi when:

• The load capacity is 500-2000 kg
• The lift operates continuously with high frequency
• Smooth operation is required to protect goods
• You want a long-term and stable investment

Choose a Chinese motor when:

• The budget is limited
• The freight lift is small to medium-sized
• The usage frequency is not continuous
• The project is residential or a small warehouse

5. Assessment from VNDB experts

For most customers where VNDB has installed systems, the combination of Mitsubishi Thai motors and inverters delivers:

• Stable lifting speed
• Smooth start and stop
• Long service life with fewer minor faults
• Higher safety when operating under heavy loads

Although the initial price is higher, the operating and repair costs are lower, making the total life-cycle cost (LCC) more economical.

6. Conclusion - which one should you choose?

If you want durability, safety, and efficiency --> Choose Mitsubishi Thai motors.

If you need to save upfront costs --> Choose a good-quality Chinese motor.

Depending on the needs of each project, VNDB can advise the most suitable motor type.
