Ground level loading and offloading goods handling conveyor

摘要

The longitudinal conveyors (4) are divided into successive sectors to enable goods (10) in any one sector to be moved independently of the goods in the other sectors. Each conveyor contains a powered endless belt (12) whose upper run (18) runs on rollers. These are grouped to be raisable per sector to ensure that the conveying run only takes the goods onto the raised roller group. In their lowered setting, the longitudinal and crossways conveyors lie in planes below the ground (2). The ground surface is divided into a matrix of sections, each with its own crossways conveyor. Several ground levels are superposed and a hoist has a raisable platform complete with longitudinal and cross conveyors.
