An improved vertical lift conveyor for moving articles between different heights, in a generally rectangular path of travel, utilizing at least one cantilevered platform. A first drive is rotatably secured to a support structure, and a second drive of equal length, is rotatably secured to the opposite side of the support structure, in parallel, vertically offset alignment. The first and second drive are secured to side supports by a plurality of rotating devices which define a generally rectangular path of travel. Channel are aligned with the first and second drive and secured to the support structure. First and second mounting brackets are secured on opposite sides of the cantilevered platform, in vertically offset alignment. The first and second mounting brackets are preferably adjustably secured for ease of alignment at asssembly. First and second horizontal pins are secured to the respective first and second drive in alignment with the first and second mounting brackets. First and second rollers are secured in axial alignment with the respective first and second horizontal pins adjacent to the first and second drive. The first and second rollers are guided in the channel along a vertically offset, rectangular path of travel; and a power means is secured to the support structure, and coupled to the vertically offset first and second drive to move the cantilevered platform horizontally, along the vertically offset, rectangular path of travel.
