Circulating Fork Elevators

Circulating Fork Elevators are continuous elevators for moving totes and boxes between different floor levels - up or down simultaneously. At the infeed stations boxes or totes are fed in on flat belt conveyors synchronised with the continuously moving forks of the elevator. Several infeed and discharge stations can be incorporated into one elevator and with a speed of up to 0.25 m/s can provide through puts of up to 1,500 boxes/hr
