A high-throughput continuous vertical conveyor (CVC) engineered for high-frequency sorting. 100% custom-built to your facility, it utilizes synchronized mechanical fork-arms to interface directly with grid conveyors, achieving a sustained throughput of up to 1500 units per hour without intermittent indexing delays or payload collisions.

Operating a Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC at extreme velocities introduces immense harmonic stress and resonant frequencies across the mast structure. Unlike generic vertical conveyors that suffer from structural sway at high frequencies, our systems utilize advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize the structural “spine” for ultra-high-frequency vibration dampening. We utilize high-yield box-section alloy steel for the primary guide masts, ensuring absolute verticality even during rapid carrier indexing. Every fork-arm is individually modeled to neutralize torsional stress, ensuring that cargo remains perfectly horizontal during 1.5 m/s+ vertical transitions. This structural stiffness is critical for preserving the fatigue life of the system over decades of 24/7 operation, transforming the CVC from a standard lift into a durable, high-velocity vertical artery.
Managing 1,500 units per hour requires a sophisticated digital pulse that eliminates mechanical shock. The Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC bypasses the latency of traditional lifts via a Closed-Loop Servo Architecture integrated natively into our drive logic. Utilizing the Siemens S7-1500 PLC suite, the system achieves sub-millimeter fork alignment (±1mm) at every floor transition. This precision is essential for high-speed automated sortation hubs where robotic handshakes demand zero-bump thresholds. Furthermore, our Active Buffer Logic allows the carrier loop to dynamically adjust velocity. If a downstream bottleneck is detected by the WMS, the CVC shifts into an intelligent buffering mode, storing units vertically to prevent an upstream line stoppage, thereby maximizing the “items-per-minute” (IPM) throughput of the entire facility.
O Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC functions as more than a vertical conveyor; it is a transparent data node within your facility’s digital nervous system. It is designed for seamless native integration with modern Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS). Through Profinet, EtherCAT, or 5G connectivity, the system facilitates a real-time data handshake, reporting carrier occupancy, torque profiles, and unit coordinates directly to your MES. To ensure maximum uptime in 24/7 industrial hubs, integrated vibration sensors and motor torque profilers track the “health signature” of every carrier. This Predictive Maintenance Monitoring identifies component wear before it results in unplanned downtime, transforming maintenance from a reactive task to a scheduled, data-driven strategy.
In fast-paced fulfillment centers, moving 1,500+ totes per hour vertically between pick-levels and packing mezzanines is a primary operational hurdle. The Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC eliminates this bottleneck with lubrication-free drive belts and sub-second handshakes with sortation networks. By removing the need for traditional chains, we eliminate chain-stretch and the resulting maintenance downtime, ensuring a continuous vertical flow that standard reciprocating lifts cannot match, maintaining peak items-per-minute (IPM) metrics.
Frozen goods distribution requires non-stop vertical movement in environments where standard lubricants freeze and metal becomes brittle. The bespoke Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC is engineered with thermal-rated mechanical alloys and IP65-rated control enclosures. Our oil-free drive maintains 24/7 continuous flow without the leakage or freezing risks inherent in hydraulic systems, preserving the thermal integrity of the facility while moving hundreds of units per hour in extreme temperature conditions.
Vertical transit between cleanroom floors requires a system that generates zero particulate matter and zero harmonic resonance. The custom Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC utilizes high-tension polyurethane belts and stainless-steel cladding to maintain ISO Class environmental sterility. The vibration-dampened architecture ensures silent operation (< 62 dB), making it ideal for ergonomic workplaces and high-precision assembly links where mechanical noise must be minimized to protect operator health and system calibration.
Active Safety Architecture as the Absolute Engineering Priority
Safety in high-flux, multi-carrier vertical logistics—especially where AMRs and human operators interface with automated open shafts—is the core of our engineering mandate. The Gradin 1500U/H Fork-Arm CVC exceeds international regulatory standards through a multi-layered redundancy loop:
Active SIL 3 Risk Mitigation: We integrate ultra-fast jam-detection laser sensors and secondary mechanical lockouts to prevent carrier collisions and structural impact in the event of an obstruction.
Perimeter Safety Interlocks: Every station is designed with full-height shaft enclosures and high-speed power doors, electronically interlocked with the ASME B20.1 safety PLC logic to ensure zero operator access during transit.
Fail-Safe Mechanical Braking: Redundant electromagnetic braking systems provide a 200% holding torque safety margin. These engage instantly during an E-stop or power loss, securing the entire multi-carrier loop and protecting your facility’s high-value cargo from vertical drift or catastrophic failure.
Para essa série para serviços pesados, podemos projetar capacidades de carga de até [300] toneladas, com dimensões de plataforma e alturas de elevação personalizadas de acordo com seu envelope operacional. Os requisitos que excederem nossa matriz de engenharia padrão serão submetidos a uma análise de elementos finitos (FEA) por nossa equipe de engenharia para garantir a viabilidade estrutural antes de propor uma solução.
Para iniciar a proposta de engenharia, forneça os seguintes dados de linha de base:

Sim. Os sistemas de controle podem ser equipados com protocolos de comunicação padrão (por exemplo, Profinet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) utilizando [Siemens / Allen-Bradley / Omron]. PLCs. Isso garante uma sincronização perfeita do sinal de E/S com transportadores upstream/downstream, unidades AGV/AMR e sua sala de controle central.
Toda unidade personalizada passa por um teste obrigatório de aceitação de fábrica (FAT) antes do envio. Isso inclui testes operacionais contínuos com carga nominal de 100%, testes de sobrecarga estática com [120% / 125%] e o acionamento físico de todas as travas de segurança mecânicas antiqueda e hidráulicas. A documentação FAT e a prova de vídeo estão incluídas em seu pacote de engenharia.
Após a aprovação final dos desenhos de arranjo geral (GA), o prazo de fabricação normalmente é de 4 a 8 semanas. Os componentes estruturais de grandes dimensões são projetados com um design modular para caber em contêineres de transporte padrão (20FT/40HQ). A montagem no local utiliza conexões de flange aparafusadas pré-projetadas e plugues de aviação para serviços pesados, eliminando rigorosamente a necessidade de soldagem em campo.
Fornecemos um padrão [12/24]-A garantia de um mês cobre a estrutura e os principais componentes hidráulicos/elétricos. Para minimizar o tempo de inatividade operacional, um conjunto abrangente de consumíveis padrão (por exemplo, kits de vedação de cilindros, interruptores de deslocamento, relés) é enviado junto com o equipamento. Durante o período de garantia, as peças de reposição para falhas não induzidas por humanos são enviadas por frete aéreo prioritário (DHL/FedEx) em 48 horas.
