Vertical Conveyor

The vertical conveyor lifts crates from one level to another without a separate elevator or a long conveyor ramp. The lift takes very little floor area, so the line can continue on another level even in tight spaces. The configuration is chosen for the task: a plain lift, lift with side transfer, or a lift basket with a roller conveyor. Discharge is possible to one or two sides.
