Elevators

Carton Elevator

Straight up, level to level.

A single lifting column carries cartons up to eleven metres in a footprint barely wider than the conveyor itself — chain-driven, guided on linear rails, with right-angle infeed and outfeed if the layout needs it.

How It Works

The sequence

1

Ready position

The carriage waits at the infeed level with the platform conveyor empty.

2

Carton loading

Infeed transfers one or two cartons on; sensors verify presence and position.

3

Load verification

The PLC confirms carton count and that all cartons are inside the platform envelope.

4

Vertical transfer

The platform conveyor stops and the carriage travels to the discharge level.

5

Carton discharge

The platform conveyor restarts onto the outfeed; exit sensors confirm discharge.

6

Return cycle

The carriage returns to the infeed level and waits for the next cycle.
