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
