Vertical conveyor lift
Reciprocating and continuous types: the smallest footprint for moving loads between levels.

Reciprocating and continuous types: the smallest footprint for moving loads between levels.
A vertical lift moves cases or pallets between levels with an even smaller footprint than a spiral. Reciprocating lifts carry one load or one group per cycle and suit medium flows; continuous (C- or Z-type) lifts circulate platforms and give higher throughput for cases. Pallet lifts take heavier loads and work with a pallet conveyor system.
| Lift height | 2–20 m |
|---|---|
| Case load | ≤ 100 kg per item |
| Pallet load | ≤ 1,500 kg |
| Reciprocating throughput | About 100–400 cases/h: near the upper end at 4–6 m lift height, often only about 100 cases/h at 15–20 m |
| Continuous throughput | ≤ 1,200 cases/h |
| Entries/exits | Same side, opposite side, or multiple levels |
