What is Lifting Transfer Machine ?

 A Lifting transfer machine, or Lift Transfer Unit(LTU) or Lift and Transfer Conveyor is a key piece of equipment used in automated warehousing and conveyor systems. It is primarily used to transfer and transport goods between different conveyor lines or between shelves at different heights. By integrating a lifting mechanism and a transfer mechanism, it enables horizontal or vertical movement of goods within a defined range, enhancing efficiency and automation in material handling.



Main Functions of the Lifting Transfer Machine

  1. Lifting Function: Uses hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic lifting devices to raise goods from one conveyor (such as a roller or chain conveyor) for transfer.

  2. Transfer Function: Utilizes a lateral or longitudinal transfer mechanism (such as belts, chains, or rollers) to smoothly move goods to the target location, achieving cross-conveyor transportation.

  3. Multi-Directional Transfer: Capable of moving goods at 90-degree, 180-degree, or even multi-directional angles, facilitating complex conveyor paths.

  4. Integration with Automation Systems: Can be incorporated into automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), conveyor systems, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), or RGVs (Rail Guided Vehicles) to improve warehouse logistics efficiency.

Application Scenarios

  • Automated Warehousing: Transfers goods from conveyor systems to stacker cranes or shuttle vehicles.

  • Production Lines: Moves materials or finished products between different processing stations.

  • Logistics Sorting Centers: Transfers parcels between different sorting conveyor lines.

  • Pallet Conveyor Systems: Handles heavy-load pallet transfers, applicable in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive manufacturing.

Advantages

  • Enhances Automation: Reduces manual intervention, increasing efficiency and accuracy.

  • Accommodates Various Goods: Can handle different types of materials, including boxes, pallets, and bins.

  • Space-Saving: Optimizes logistics pathways and improves warehouse utilization
