Motion animation[C type]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 toand from the cargo receiver. *This is a cargo-only device, so people may not ride it under any circumstances.

AUTOLATOR V Floor Circulation E type

AEEWV C*E-VEAS and VEAS refer to the energy-saving control device fitted to heavy-duty AUTORATOR models.

■Installation environment: Indoors, surrounding temp. 0 - 40°C (no condensation)●General environments compatible [Steel Chain Hoist Type/Wire Rope Hoist Type]●Clean environments compatible (does notproduce oil mist/metal filings) [Resin Belt Hoist Type]○Special environments: ①Low-temp. compatible (-5 - -30°C) [Cold Resist Specifications], ②Washable [All Stainless Steel Specifications], ③Explosive
gas/powders environment compatible [Explosion-Proof Specifications], ④Clean environment compatible [Clean Room Specifications] *Specifications differ depending on the required cleanliness grade.

Approx. 2,000/hour＊＊These values are for the Z type. The transfer performance of the C type is approximately 1/2 that of the Z type.

■Building floors: 2 - 8 *Due to its frame construction, installation is possible in locations without a hoistway (fire shaft) if an anti-shake buffer is fitted (although there is a height limit). However, firewalls
must be checked in the case of floor apertures.○Special order specifications: ① When exceeding max. floors [Additional Machinery/Control Specifications], ② When exceeding max. height [Main Unit
Frame Reinforcement Specifications], ③ When transferring super-heavy cargo (over 3 tons) [Load Bearing Upgrade Specifications], ④ Adjacent to building/outdoor specifications [Outdoor Cladding]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 toand from the cargo receiver. *This is a cargo-only device, so people may not ride it under any circumstances.
