What is a vertical transfer system (vertical conveyor)?

A vertical transfer system is a cargo-only transfer machine with a vertical transfer path, which comprises a vertical transfer apparatus (the vertical transfer
machine itself) fitted with a mechanism that raises and lowers a cargo receiver, and a lateral transfer apparatus (a loading/unloading conveyor or
loading/unloading device) fitted with a loading/unloading mechanism that loads and unloads cargo to and from the cargo receiver.
*This is a cargo-only device, so people may not ride it under any circumstances.

 Automatic Loading/Unloading Conveyors: Indispensable for
Safe Work with Vertical Transfer Machines
※Various optional extras and special specifications are included in the items listed here.

(Pallet Transferring) Automatic Loading/Unloading Conveyor

Auto-assistor Roller
Type CDA89
The auto-assistor is a horizontal conveyor that is indispensable to a fully automated transfer system. Installed on each floor station
of a vertical transfer system, it links up with the hoisting cage (carriage) conveyors, enabling smooth in-and-out transfer of pallets.
In addition, linking multiple units together allows you to temporarily pause pallet movement and adjust operation time, resulting in a
more efficient three-dimensional automated transfer line.

Features
A wealth of optional extras and
variable control
Select from two types (roller or chain)
depending on pallet size and load direction. In
addition, we can provide optional extras as
necessary for a variety of operations, such as a
forklift detection device.
Energy-saving design
The auto-assistor is extremely economical, with
low running costs thanks to cargo-carrying
conveyors activating sequentially, as well as
automatic shutdown once cargo has passed
through (Takt transfer system).
■Choose from 3 automatic loading/unloading
