Conveyor lifting sections

The project challenge

The client had no way to handle parts automatically on the overhead conveyor, which meant a forklift had to be used for lifting and unloading. Such a solution tied production to the availability of an additional piece of equipment and to manual labour, creating bottlenecks in terms of both efficiency and occupational safety. A solution was needed that would allow parts to be lifted and removed safely and smoothly, without a forklift.

How we built it

On the existing overhead conveyor system, we installed lifting sections from the Swedish manufacturer Hjort-Conveyor as a custom solution. The conventional approach uses lifting via a single rail, but the project requirements demanded greater flexibility — therefore we adapted the solution so that parts can be lifted simultaneously from two rails at once.

• Custom solution of Hjort-Conveyor lifting sections, integrated with the existing conveyor system
• Lifting simultaneously from two rails at once instead of a single rail
• Adaptation of the lifting sections to the requirements of the production process

What we achieved

• Lifting and removal of parts without a forklift
• Safer material handling in the production environment
• A more flexible and efficient production process thanks to smoother movement of parts
• Reduced dependence on manual labour and additional equipment
• A custom solution that covers more complex lifting needs and integrates with the existing system
