What are Circulating Vertical Conveyors

The CycleLift Pro 400 is a continuous vertical conveyor that offers an unexpectedly low price compared to traditional discontinuous conveyors. This modular system can achieve a throughput of up to 2,200 products per hour, making it highly efficient for material handling.

Circulating Vertical Conveyors are available in two models:

For articles of different sizes or shapes, such as various carton sizes

For identically-sized articles like standard totes

Product video
  • Modular Design: The Prorunner CycleLift Pro 400‘s modular setup allows for smaller shipment volumes, reducing shipping costs.
  • Versatile Applications: It can transport a wide range of products, including boxes, cases, trays, and bags, effortlessly and quickly between different floors.
  • Energy Efficiency: Designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing throughput, making it an environmentally friendly option.
  • Upright Positioning: Products are always carried upright, eliminating the risk of deformation during transport.

This makes the Prorunner CycleLift Pro 400 ideal for businesses looking to enhance their material handling processes while maintaining cost-effectiveness and product integrity.

Conveyor Sections

Carriers
Carriers are fork-type platforms that transport products. They are connected to two Rubber Block Chains, ensuring smooth and stable movement throughout the conveyor.

Rubber Block Chains
GRADIN’s Rubber Block Chains have high-tensile steel cables inside, allowing for lubrication- and maintenance-free operation. This design provides quiet and clean long-term performance. Different rubber compounds are available for various environments.

Retractable Feed Conveyors
These conveyors feed material on the upward side and discharge it on the downward side, ensuring a clean transfer from horizontal to vertical transport. The feed conveyor starts and stops automatically as needed.

Casings
Casings are available in welded painted carbon steel or stainless steel frames. Carbon steel options can be powder-coated or painted for durability and easy cleaning.

Cladding
Cladding can be made from perforated aluminum or steel sheets, protecting both the conveyor and products while ensuring a safe work environment.

Maintenance Features
All GRADIN circulating vertical conveyors have large servicing and monitoring openings and removable covers for easy maintenance.

This design makes GRADIN vertical conveyors efficient, safe, and easy to maintain, suitable for various material handling applications.

It operates using carriers attached to a chain or belt system. The carriers move in a loop, transporting products from an infeed position to an outfeed position, often with automated controls for smooth operation.

  • Efficient vertical transport of materials
  • Space-saving design
  • Reduced labor costs
  • Improved safety by minimizing manual handling
  • Customizable configurations for different applications

Circulating Vertical Conveyors can handle a variety of products, including boxes, trays, bags, and other items, depending on the conveyor’s specifications and design.

Most models can typically handle weights up to 50 kg (110 lbs) per carrier, though this can vary based on the specific design and configuration.

Maintenance is generally straightforward, involving regular inspections, lubrication (if necessary), and cleaning. Many systems are designed with access points for easy servicing.

Common safety features include emergency stop buttons, safety fencing, overload protection systems, and monitoring devices to ensure safe operation.

Yes, various configurations exist depending on the application. Options may include different carrier types for elevating and descending, as well as custom infeed and outfeed arrangements.

These conveyors are suitable for various industries, including warehousing, manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and more, wherever efficient vertical material handling is needed.
