Product Description
The Electric Roller Lift & Transfer Unit (also known as a right-angle transfer unit or pop-up roller transfer) is a compact, fully electric conveying module designed for diverting cartons, totes, and other unit loads at 90° angles in automated material handling systems. This unit is installed flush within a roller conveyor line and features a cam-driven lifting mechanism that raises a set of powered narrow belts or rollers to pick up the load from the main conveyor, transfer it in a perpendicular direction, and then lower it back down.
The unit operates on DC24V fully electric drive with no pneumatics, ensuring quiet, clean, and energy-efficient performance. Each unit includes integrated motorized rollers, control cards, and sensors for precise lift and transfer control, making it ideal for modern automated logistics and sortation systems.

Applications
The Electric Roller Lift & Transfer Unit is widely used in modern automated logistics and material handling systems:
E-commerce & Parcel Sorting: Diverting packages to different sorting chutes or shipping lanes
Warehousing & Distribution: Right-angle transfers in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), order fulfillment lines
Express Delivery & Postal Services: High-speed parcel diversion in sorting centers
Manufacturing & Assembly: Diverting finished goods or work-in-progress to downstream processing stations
Airport Baggage Handling: Transferring luggage between conveyor lines
Retail & Omnichannel Fulfillment: Automated order consolidation and diverting
Ideal for handling cartons, totes, boxes, and other rigid flat-bottomed items weighing up to 50kg per unit.
Our Advantages
| Feature | Description |
| Fully electric, no pneumatics | DC24V all-electric drive eliminates compressed air requirements – cleaner, quieter, and more energy-efficient |
| Compact & space-saving | Ultra-thin design (170mm overall thickness) – easily integrates into existing conveyor lines without major modifications |
| High-performance components | Premium brands: Damon motorized rollers, SICK sensors, Siegling narrow belts, and Hutchinson Poly-V belts ensure long-term reliability |
| Precise lift & transfer control | Cam-driven lifting mechanism provides smooth, accurate vertical motion; upper/lower limit sensors ensure precise positioning and safety |
| High throughput capacity | Mechanical throughput ≥ 2,200 cartons/hour – ideal for high-speed automated sortation systems |
| Easy integration | Includes control cards (EQube-P) and sensors; PNP communication signals – compatible with most PLC control systems |
| Low maintenance | Fewer moving parts than pneumatic systems; motorized rollers and sealed bearings reduce routine maintenance |
| Robust construction | Galvanized carbon steel frame resists corrosion and wear; suitable for demanding industrial environments |
FAQ
Q1: What is the function of the Electric Roller Lift & Transfer Unit?
This unit diverts cartons or totes at 90° angles within a conveyor line. When activated, the lifting mechanism raises powered narrow belts/rollers to lift the load off the main conveyor and transfer it perpendicularly. After transfer, the unit lowers the belts/rollers back down for the next item.
Q2: What are the available models?
The unit is available in STK400, STK500, STK600, and STK700 models, designed to match different main conveyor widths (400mm, 500mm, 600mm, and 700mm respectively).
Q3: What is the maximum load capacity?
Rated load capacity is ≤ 50 kg per carton. This unit is designed for light to medium-weight unit loads such as cartons and totes.
Q4: What is the throughput?
Mechanical throughput is ≥ 2,200 cartons/hour. Actual field application throughput is approximately 1,500–1,800 cartons/hour, depending on site-specific electrical control conditions and overall system integration.
Q5: Does the unit require compressed air?
No. The unit is fully electric, operating on DC24V power. This eliminates the need for compressed air piping, reducing energy costs and maintenance.
Q6: What brand components are used?
Key components include: Damon motorized rollers, SICK proximity sensors, Siegling narrow belts, and Hutchinson Poly-V belts – all premium, high-reliability industrial brands.
Q7: What is the unit thickness?
The total unit thickness is 170mm, allowing for flush installation within standard roller conveyor systems.
Q8: Are mounting brackets included?
No. Mounting brackets (overhead suspension brackets or support legs) are not included and must be provided by the buyer, based on the specific installation requirements.
Q9: What is the operating temperature range?
The recommended operating ambient temperature is -5°C to 40°C (room temperature).
Q10: How is the unit controlled?
The unit includes Damon EQube-P control cards (3 units per machine) and PNP communication signals, allowing easy integration with most PLC-based control systems. Upper/lower limit sensors (SICK) provide precise positioning feedback.
