Vertical conveyor, having: a first and a second conveyor belt (36, 38), a plurality of rod-shaped crossmembers, and a plurality of entrainment pockets, the first and second conveyor belts (36, 38) each having: tension members which are embedded in the conveyor belt and designed for the transmission of tensile forces in a conveying direction F for the conveyor belt, a support side formed by a first rubber cover layer and a plurality of rubber blocks connected to the first rubber cover layer in a materially integral manner by vulcanization, wherein the rubber blocks are disposed so as to be spaced apart from one another in a row in the conveying direction F, wherein the entrainment pockets are attached to the crossmembers in such a way that one of the entrainment pockets extends from each crossmember to an adjacent crossmember in a sagging manner, characterized in that each rubber block has a rod-shaped fitting, which extends from an anchoring region from the interior of the rubber block to a protruding part of the respective fitting, wherein the protruding part of the respective fitting forms a connection region of the associated fitting, which is designed for releasably coupling and/or connecting a crossmember of the vertical conveyor, wherein the first conveyor belt is disposed parallel to the second conveyor belt, so that the fittings of the first conveyor belt and the fittings of the second conveyor belt are facing each other and a plurality of pairs of fittings are formed, wherein each pair of fittings is formed by a fitting of the first conveyor belt and a fitting of the second conveyor belt, wherein the fittings of each pair of fittings are disposed so as to be aligned with an associated common connecting axis, wherein one of the crossmembers is in each case disposed between the fittings of each pair of fittings and releasably connected to the fittings in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner. a first and a second conveyor belt (36, 38), a
