Fully Automated Pallet Lift Systems

Fully Automated Lifting System

Product Overview

Nerak’s fully automated lifting systems are designed as bespoke vertical transport solutions for handling a wide range of unit loads across multi-level operations. Engineered to suit specific operational requirements, these systems support the controlled movement of pallets, dollies, cages and stillages within integrated warehouse and production environments.

Each system typically combines multi-level infeed and discharge conveyors with a tailored hoisting mechanism and fully integrated controls. This allows materials to be moved efficiently between floors while maintaining consistent flow across the wider handling system. Solutions can be configured to handle single or twin pallet loads, depending on throughput and operational requirements.

Designed for integration within automated environments, these systems support reliable and continuous operation across demanding applications. The robust construction ensures stable load handling while helping to minimise maintenance requirements and operational downtime.

As a UK manufacturer, Nerak designs and delivers each system from initial concept through to manufacture, installation and commissioning. Every solution is developed around the specific layout, load types and throughput requirements of the application, ensuring long-term performance within fully integrated handling systems.

Product Trials

If you would like to understand how your products will perform within a Nerak system, our Product Trial Service allows you to test materials under real operating conditions.

Trials can be carried out by our team or attended in person at our Brecon facility, where you can work directly with our engineers to assess system suitability and performance. Contact us to arrange a trial or discuss your requirements.

Installation

Nerak supports every project through to installation and commissioning, ensuring systems are delivered and integrated efficiently within your operation.

FAQs

What is a fully automated lifting system?

A fully automated lifting system is used to move goods between levels automatically using lifts, conveyors, controls and wider warehouse automation. It forms part of an end-to-end handling workflow, helping products move through storage, picking, production or dispatch areas with minimal manual handling.

What unit loads can fully automated lifting systems handle?

A fully automated lifting system can handle a wide range of unit loads, depending on the lift design. This can include totes, cartons, boxes, trays, pallets, dollies, stillages and other load types that need controlled vertical movement through a warehouse or production process.

Can fully automated lifting systems be designed around an existing layout?

Yes, fully automated lifting systems can be designed around an existing layout. Nerak can engineer the lifting system around available space, floor heights, access points, product flow, structural constraints and existing conveyor or automation equipment.

Are fully automated lifting systems suitable for pallets, dollies and stillages?

Yes, fully automated lifting systems are suitable for pallets, dollies and stillages when the lift is specified for those load types. The system design should account for load weight, dimensions, stability, transfer method and whether the goods need to move as part of a wider automated handling process.
