Product Overview

Nerak’s KH series tote and carton lifts are designed for the efficient vertical movement of unit loads in low-throughput applications. Used for handling totes, cartons and similar items, these systems provide controlled and reliable transport between floor levels within warehouse and distribution environments.

Available in both ‘C’ and ‘S’ configurations, the system can be specified with single or double load handling, allowing two units to be transported per cycle where required. This supports improved throughput while maintaining stable and consistent product flow within a compact tote lift system.

The KH series supports multiple infeed and discharge points, making it well suited to multi-level operations such as mezzanine floor integration. With lift heights of up to 10 metres and throughput capabilities of up to 310 units per hour, the system provides a practical solution for applications where space and efficiency must be balanced.

Each lift is engineered using Nerak’s proprietary rubber chain technology, supporting quiet operation, reduced wear and low maintenance requirements. An optional wireless carriage system is also available, allowing for simplified system control and integration.

As a UK manufacturer, Nerak designs, builds and installs each carton lift system to suit the specific requirements of the application. Systems can be supplied as stand-alone units or integrated into wider automated handling solutions, ensuring reliable long-term performance.

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.

FAQs

What is the KH Series Tote & Carton Lift used for?

The KH Series Tote & Carton Lift is used to move totes, cartons and similar unit loads safely between floor levels. It is a cost-effective option for low-throughput applications and can be supplied in C-shape or S-shape configurations to suit the site layout.

Is the KH Series suitable for low-throughput applications?

Yes, the KH Series Tote & Carton Lift is suitable for low-throughput applications. It is a practical option for SMEs taking their first step into warehouse automation, where controlled vertical movement is needed without a larger or more complex system.

Can the KH Series be configured in C and S layouts?

Yes, the KH Series Tote & Carton Lift can be configured in both C-shape and S-shape layouts. This allows the lift to be specified around the available floor space, product flow direction and infeed or discharge arrangement.

Can the KH Series handle more than one unit at a time?

Yes, the KH Series Tote & Carton Lift can handle more than one unit at a time. This can help increase capacity in low-to-medium throughput operations without moving to a larger or more complex lift system.
