01One platform per cycleA defined pallet or unit load is accepted, moved and released before the next cycle.
02Protected landingsDoors, gates and presence detection have to report a safe state before travel.
03Defined load transferForklift, AGV, roller or chain interfaces create different platform and safety requirements.
04Several controlled stopsMulti-floor operation is possible when travel time and call scheduling still meet the required flow.
Selection ruleUse a reciprocating conveyor when each trip carries a defined load and payload, platform size or route flexibility matters more than continuous carrier throughput.
Heavy unit loadsPlatforms can be engineered around pallets, large containers and concentrated loads.
Flexible stopsServe two or more levels with controlled stopping and floor-specific interlocks.
AGV or forklift handoffFlat, roller or chain platforms can align with automatic or manual loading methods.
Protected openingsDoors, guards and presence detection coordinate with platform movement.
Control focusEvery movement is released only after load position, destination readiness and protected-area status are confirmed.
01Load requestThe line, AGV or operator requests a transfer and confirms the loading zone is safe.
02Platform loadingThe pallet or unit load enters the platform through the selected interface.
03Controlled travelThe lift travels to the requested level with monitored position and interlocks.
04Release and returnThe destination accepts the load before the platform is released for its next command.
Sizing boundaryCompare the complete operating cycle, not one catalogue speed or payload figure.
Load transferPallet entry and exit time varies with forklift, AGV, roller and chain interfaces.
Door sequenceEvery protected opening adds confirmation and actuation time to the cycle.
Travel distanceHeight, acceleration profile and the number of stops affect total movement time.
Leveling accuracyThe platform must align with the destination before the load is released.
Call schedulingSeveral floors can create queues or empty repositioning trips.
Load conditionOverhang, misalignment and center of gravity affect safe acceptance and motion.
Motion principleOne platform reciprocates between selected levels
Typical loadsPallets, large containers, bagged products and heavy unit loads
Platform optionsFlat deck, roller conveyor or chain conveyor
Documented project rangeExamples include 8 m, 12 m and 16.5 m travel
Documented payload examples1 ton and 1.5 ton project configurations
Interface optionsForklift, fixed conveyor and AGV handoff
Project-specificThe final configuration is selected from load behavior, route geometry, environment and controls.
Platform formatFlat, roller or chain surfaces match the loading method and load base.
Load directionSame-side, opposite-side or multi-direction transfer can be engineered.
Door packageHigh-speed doors, interlocked gates and guarding suit the opening conditions.
EnclosureSteel and transparent panel combinations balance protection and visibility.
Level arrangementTwo-level or multi-floor stops with floor-specific call logic.
Control interfacePLC handshakes coordinate AGVs, conveyors and production equipment.
System boundarySensors, PLC logic and adjacent equipment signals define whether the mechanical system can achieve the intended flow.
AGV mission handshakeThe platform is released only after vehicle position and load transfer are confirmed.
Door and gate interlockMovement remains inhibited until every protected opening reports a safe condition.
Floor queue controlCalls are sequenced to prevent conflicting requests and unmanaged accumulation.
Required before approvalA safe system defines not only normal motion, but how it stops, retains load state and resumes after an interruption.
01Accept loadPresence and alignment signals confirm the platform load.
02Secure zoneLanding doors and protected transfer areas report safe conditions.
03MoveThe platform travels with monitored position and motion status.
04LevelThe controller confirms the selected landing and transfer height.
05Close cycleThe destination accepts the load before another request is released.
Evidence ruleFigures below come from the supplied case documents. They are examples, not universal catalog limits.
Four distinct viewsEach image shows a different engineering layer: the full installation, load handoff, transfer route or working mechanism.
Engineering realityA credible product definition includes what changes by project and what the mechanism cannot solve by itself.
Very high steady unit-load flowA continuous carrier loop may achieve the rate with fewer point-to-point cycles.
Unverified building supportPit, headroom, landing loads and structural interfaces need site confirmation.
Uncontrolled pallet overhangThe maximum load envelope and center of gravity must be defined.
Mixed vehicle accessAGV and forklift use of one zone requires explicit ownership and safety logic.
Insufficient landing spaceDoors, guarding, pallet approach and service clearance cannot be treated as afterthoughts.
Undefined recovery methodA stalled load or interrupted cycle needs a documented safe recovery route.
Rated payload alone selects the lift.Platform size, transfer direction, cycle demand and site structure also govern selection.
The fastest travel speed gives the fastest system.Door, loading and unloading states often dominate the real cycle.
AGV integration is only a conveyor interface.Vehicle position, mission permission, safe-zone and load-transfer signals are required.
Every floor can call the platform independently.Requests need scheduling rules to prevent conflicts and excessive empty travel.
Avoid reworkA clear application boundary is the fastest route to a stable layout, accurate price and realistic delivery plan.
A reciprocating conveyor moves one platform between stops. A continuous conveyor circulates multiple carriers and is usually selected for higher, steadier unit-load throughput.
Yes. Each stop can have its own call, door and transfer logic, subject to the required cycle time.
Yes. Position confirmation, mission permission, load presence and safe-zone status are exchanged before motion.
Yes. Roller, chain and flat platforms are selected from the pallet base and adjacent handling equipment.
No. Both are project-specific. The figures shown on this page are verified examples from completed applications, not universal catalog limits.
Provide load drawings, maximum weight, floor elevations, transfer directions, required cycles and the surrounding layout.
Decision pathThroughput, load weight, transfer geometry and floor space usually narrow the correct family quickly.
