Typical Industries: General
Description: This is - in essence – an extreme example of a Swan Neck Conveyor , and is used for moving products between floors within a factory. Traditionally these where used for ‘mezzanine’ areas: floors that do not extend the full length/width of the factory but instead form a ‘balcony’ area. In practice, however, these systems can convey goods between genuine floors, or even multiple floors.
The conveyor shown to the left was an unusual one in that the customer wanted it built onto an existing staircase. More commonly, however, such conveyors are "self-supported"
