This is the ultimate solution for vertical or near-vertical lifting. The Sidewall Conveyor Belt system features flexible, corrugated sidewalls vulcanized to the edges of the base belt, combined with transversely spaced cleats vulcanized across the belt, creating a series of enclosed compartments. This design securely contains the material, allowing for true 90-degree vertical elevation, which is extremely useful in space-constrained mines or for directly lifting material to elevated silos or hoppers.
