Vertical Conveyor

Vertical conveyor systems for warehouse levels

Vertical conveyor systems move parcels, cartons and totes between levels while preserving floor space for the rest of the line. Select a vertical solution from the lift height, load profile, required flow, infeed and discharge arrangement, available footprint and the control sequence needed at each level.

How to select a vertical conveyor

• Vertical travel: confirm the start and end levels, clear height and access around the installation.
• Load profile: define parcel or tote dimensions, weight range, orientation and stability.
• Flow requirement: set the required transfer rate and whether movement is continuous or sequenced.
• Line interface: map the infeed, discharge, buffering and controls arrangement on every level.
