The vertical conveyor is used to connect two or more conveyor lines that are on different levels. The hoist is guided by a toothed belt and driven by a three-phase motor with a frequency converter. For higher performance, more torque can be provided with a servo-motor in combination with a rotary encoder for positioning. The lifting motor is mounted on the lower deflection for better maintenance accessibility.

Depending on the requirements of the goods to be conveyed, various load handling devices, such as, a roller, belt or accumulation roller conveyors can be attached. For gap monitoring between stationary and moving conveyor technology, either light barriers or light grids are used. In accordance with the applicable safety regulations, each vertical conveyor is fitted with protective fencing.
