Vertical Conveyors
Z-Loda Vertical Conveyors are available as standard modular installations
designed to accommodate standard 48" square pallets. Custom designed units can be engineered
to meet special requirements. Free-standing, Z-Loda systems provide fast, continuous material
flow to heights of 80 ft. and more.
The Z-Loda can be directly interface with most types of horizontal conveyors to provide automatic
horizontal movement of material, or can be served by fork-lift trucks.
Flexibility allows units to be erected as stand-alone mid-floor systems,
against exterior walls from outside installations or installed in existing
elevator shafts. Delivered as a one piece module or assembled on site,
the Z-Loda requires a minimum of erection time.
