Vertical conveyors move objects from one elevation to another, raising and/or lowering a load to different levels in the supply line.

Vertical conveyors often lie in between two horizontal conveyors and can keep movement continuous through vertical offsets. They utilize buckets, belts, chutes, carts-on-track, screws, and other conveying technology to move product either up or down in elevation, and maximize space with their small on-floor footprint.

The most common applications of vertical conveyors are for reducing floor space, tying multiple floors together, vertical accumulation systems, pick-up and drop-off points for vehicles, and many many more specific use cases.
