Vertical Elevators

vertical lift conveyor

Moving products between mezzanine floor levels can be done easily using a conveyor platform lift. These lifts come in different formats depending on the products being moved and the requirements.

When designing your Multifloor automation solution, CSL will select the best option to meet the brief, budget, and space requirements.

Benefits of Vertical Elevators

Improved throughputs – more products moved per hour
Reductions in labour requirements and MHE costs
Constant movement of products between sectors
Reduction in health and safety risks – less MHE movements and operators carrying items downstairs
Small footprint compared to incline/decline belts

Frequently Asked Questions

What are vertical lift conveyors?

Vertical lift conveyors are systems designed to move products vertically between different heights or floors, saving space and improving efficiency.

How is a continuous vertical lift conveyor different from standard vertical lifts?

Continuous vertical lifts, like the Prorunner Mk5, offer ultra-smooth continuous movements and transfers, providing higher throughput rates and efficient sorting capabilities.

Can I customise my vertical conveyor elevator based on my application needs?

Yes, the Qimarox® vertical lift systems have multiple configurations to suit varying application and product requirements.

How do I decide between a belt or chain lift system?
