Lifting Elevator Units
In warehouses where space is often at a premium and there are often two or three levels of mezzanine floors, a means of lifting and lowering palletized product loads between the floor levels is required.
Floor space is usually restricted so incline belt conveyors are generally out of the question. These circumstances are when elevators/ lowerators come into their own. There are several different types of elevator / lowerator, for example reciprocating platform elevators and continuous platform elevators (sometimes referred to as paternoster), however the broad operation is the same for all of them.
The product load arrives on a conveyor at which point it is accepted and automatically transferred onto the elevator / lowerator which then takes it to the required elevation and then automatically discharges it to another conveyor to take it to its new location. Amber Industries engineering team are experienced at designing elevator / lowerator for the most common applications.
