HOKUSHO CO.,LTD.

Our reliable trio of vertical transfer systems
will save you labor and space.

The most fundamental factor in efficient goods distribution is ensuring the fastest, most accurate transport/transfer of products and parts. On top of that is the matter of whether or not this can be accomplished in a limited space. For increasingly multi-level shipping centers and factories as well as distribution warehouses, success and failure hinge upon the capabilities of the distribution system. Each of HOKUSHO’s trio of vertical transfer systems is absolutely indispensable in efficiently linking upper and lower floors.

• Vertical continuous transfer machine “VERTILATOR”
• Vertical reciprocating transfer machine “AUTOLATOR”
• Vertical sorting transfer machine “HIGH-TRAY”

The ultimate tool for increasing labor efficiency,
this is the core concept of PAS.

This intelligent sorting system comprises a high-performance small item piece sorter (Auto-Sorter mini), a feeding conveyor and an Information Control System, enabling quantity inspections even as items are rapidly and automatically sorted and transferred.

• PAS I
• PAS Iα [Up to 10kg]
• PAS II
• [High-speed] PAS II [Conveyor speed: 100m/min]

For everything from store-based to destination-based sorting,
this slide shoe sorter can accommodate a wide range of item sizes and shapes.

The Auto-Sorter uses a method wherein multiple shoes slide in order to push cargo in the required direction, enabling it to accommodate a wide range of conveyor item sizes and shapes while sorting cargo gently.

• (Slide shoe type) Case Sorter Auto-Sorter (FP20S/FP20W)
• (Slide shoe type) Case Sorter Auto-Sorter (FP30)
• (Slide shoe type) Piece sorter Auto-Sorter mini

HART500 is a lift-up type automatic guided vehicle that automatically transfers medium-weight cargo (up to 500 kg) on a dedicated base rack (frame for loading pallets, case items, etc.). HART500 uses an induction system that reads two-dimensional codes attached to the floor in order to guide cargo. This highly flexible system allows the operator to set up arbitrary transfer points as well as transfer cargo between fixed points like a normal conveyor.

• Automatic rack transfer HART500
• <HART500-dedicated> Chain Hoist Type Vertical Reciprocating Transfer Machine AUTOLATOR AEHW

These vertical transfer systems work like elevators, transferring objects up and then back down again. As the conveyor is vertical, the amount of space needed is kept to an absolute minimum, and the ability to automatically transfer an object to any floor at the touch of a button – all while the object remains level – drastically increases operational efficiency. By equipping the machine with additional conveyors, you can build multi-story automatic transfer lines between clean rooms.

• Vertical high-speed transfer machine – Clean AUTOLATOR
• Vertical continuous tray transfer machine – Clean HIGH-TRAY

Conveyor System
Smooth and efficient transfer born of our wide variety of units.

Our horizontal conveyors meet the fundamental need for continuous lateral item transport. Naturally, there are various conveyors for different sizes and shapes of cargo, but at HOKUSHO we use a combination of various units based on our driven roller conveyor to create the ideal floor line for your location.

• Roller Conveyor (Ring Drive, Chain Drive, Belt Drive, Accumulating)
• Swing-type automatic sorting device – Swing Unit
• Chain Conveyor
• Belt Conveyor

The shelf- and store-based sorting support system: EASY is a stand-alone system that enables a single operator to sort by store everything from the smallest products to the most delicately packaged products without any mistakes.
