| Guide to Comparing Lift Equipment |
Nercon frequently gets questions about vertical lifts and how the capabilities and characteristics differ. The best elevator solution is dependent on your application. The questions we ask are: What are the dimensions and weight of your product or package? What is the infeed and discharge elevation requirement? How many products per minute are required for this equipment? Answers to these questions not only define the scope of your equipment needs, it also provides the information we need to give an accurate price on the equipment. Refer to the movie on the left for descriptions and demos of different lifts and also the comparison chart below. |
