Reciprocating Lift Designed for Transporting Cat Litter
Project Overview
This reciprocating lift is specifically designed for transporting cat litter, combining efficient handling with intelligent packaging. The equipment has a maximum load capacity of 1500 kg and a lifting height of 16.5 meters. It supports multi-point transportation with three layers and three stations, achieving a running speed of up to 40 meters per minute.
The accompanying automatic wrapping machine is integrated with the lift, allowing for automatic wrapping and packaging of goods after lifting, which enhances packaging efficiency and reduces manual labor. The device is built with a sturdy and durable structure, and its intelligent control makes operation simple and user-friendly. It can seamlessly connect with production lines, making it an ideal choice for cat litter manufacturing and logistics companies aiming to achieve automated operations.

The Challenge
Heavy Load Handling: Cat litter bags are bulky and heavy (up to 1,500 kg per load), requiring robust lifting equipment.
Multi-Floor Logistics: Moving materials between three floors (1F to 3F) demands smooth vertical and horizontal transitions.
Packaging Efficiency: Manual wrapping is labor-intensive and inconsistent; automated integration is needed.
Space & Safety Constraints: Limited installation space and strict safety requirements for heavy-duty operations.
Solutions
High-Capacity Lifting
1,500 kg load capacity with 16.5m lifting height (3 stops: 6.5m, 10m, 16.5m).
PLC + frequency control ensures smooth acceleration/deceleration (40 m/min speed).
Automated Wrapping & Conveyor Integration
Built-in roller conveyor (W1500 × L1600 mm) connects to production lines for continuous flow.
Auto-wrapping machine secures goods post-lift, reducing manual effort.
Smart & Safe Operation
Photoelectric positioning + infrared detection for precise cargo alignment.
Safety clamp + speed limiter and polyurethane buffers prevent overload/fall risks.
Touchscreen control for user-friendly operation.
Space-Optimized Design
Compact footprint (W2700 × L2500 mm) fits indoor installations with 0mm pit depth.
Elevator-grade guide rails ensure stability over a 15-year lifespan.
