This unit is a cargo-only vertical transport machine designed to continuously transport a loading a similar manner to an escalator. Requiring less installation space than a sloping conveyor, its capacity is top of the general-purpose vertical conveyor class, contributing to great improvements in labour efficiency due to the unit’s ability to transfer large volumes of cargo over a short period of time.

By combining the unit with any of the horizontal conveyors it’s possible to construct a three-dimensional, automatic transfer line. In addition to the unit being used as part of factory production lines, the unit has been implemented in a wide variety of locations, such as part of a shipping/receiving line in retail warehouses, and in meal tray transfer lines in hotels and inns.

Furthermore, a new model has been developed using resin belts in the hoisting mechanisms. As the unit has no metal sliding parts, it requires no lubrication, eliminating metal filings and oil mist. This vertical transfer machine is ideal for locations which demand an environmentally friendly environment (pharmaceutical products, food production, or in factories producing rechargeable batteries, etc.).
