The vertical conveyor application solution is designed for lifting applications in conveyor systems. The applications combine our decades of experience and expertise in the design of drive solutions.
Distinguishing features of vertical conveyors
The vertical conveyor package’s unique characteristics help you to plan systems faster and more cost-effectively.
Lifts are required to link various process levels to each other. Depending on the ambient conditions and size of the system, the application requires control cabinet technology or decentralized technology. The loads to be transported also play a decisive role when selecting a drive concept.

Predefined variants for the perfectly tailored solution
Vertical Conveyor with Control Cabinet Technology
For powerful lifting applications
The vertical conveyor application solution with control cabinet technology: the perfect solution for high-performance hoist applications. The hoist units and load bearing elements use proven control cabinet technology.
Vertical Conveyor with Decentralized Technology
Controller on site
The decentralized variant of the vertical conveyor application solution reduces the complexity and quantity of cables. As a vital link in the process chain, lifting stations require reliability and the ability to change components quickly.
Single-axis Vertical Conveyor
Flexible lifting solution for many operating conditions
The vertical conveyor application solution: the lifting solution for all operating conditions from SEW‑EURODRIVE. These lifts are primarily used to overcome differences in height.
Vertical conveyors connect processes on a range of levels. There are however major differences in how the systems are designed. Are you expanding or converting your system at the moment? Then decentralized technology is the perfect solution for you, and allow for a compact design of your system. In extremely large systems, long supply cables cause disadvantages. Install control cabinet technology in order to benefit from the perfect solution for high performance and heavy loads. The predefined variants make it easier to choose the right components to fulfill your needs.
