The Prorunner mk1 is a compact and robust discontinuous product lift that requires minimal maintenance and is attractively priced.
Vertical conveyor Prorunner mk1 - Small footprint
The Prorunner mk1 is a discontinuous vertical conveyor with a small footprint that excels in robustness and requires minimal maintenance. Its steel structure is extremely stable under all circumstances.
By using a flat belt the Prorunner mk1 is completely silent in its movement. Moreover, a flat belt of this type almost has no maintenance. No lubrication and tension in comparison to chain driven system is needed anymore. Due to the small footprint the machine can be used in almost any factory lay-out.
Efficient vertical transport (Vertical conveyor)
The lift can easily hoist boxes, trays, boxes, crates, boxes or bags weighing up to 100 kg. The Prorunner mk1 is ideally suited for applications where maximum capacity of approximately 360 movements per hour is needed. Its compact design makes it a vertical conveyor with small footprint.
All this together makes the Prorunner mk1 an extremely efficient and economical solution for your vertical transportation.

Prorunner mk1: extremely flexible product elevator
Due to its modular design, the Prorunner mk1 adapts easily to its operating environment. A standard roller conveyor (possibly driven) is included standard as a product carrier. This can optionally be replaced by a belt conveyor or other specific carrier. It is possible to install a custom conveyor without having to modify the construction. In this way, the elevator will optimally connect to the conveyor system in your production or distribution environment.
Customised infeed and outfeed heights
The infeed and outfeed heights may be freely chosen and are in principle not bound to a maximum height. It is also possible to use the Prorunner mk1 to supply multiple infeed or outfeed conveyors, so that the elevator can act as a vertical sorter.
The components that the system is made of are extremely low maintenance and durable.
The vertical conveyor Prorunner mk1 has the following specifications:
- Lowest infeed/outfeed position of the mk1: 360 mm / 14 inch
- Highest infeed/outfeed position of the mk1: 14,300 mm / 555 inch
- Max. Column height: 14,450 mm / 47 feet
- Drive: SEW 0,55 kW
- Max. Product weight: 100 kg / 220 lbs
- Max. Product size: 910 x 610 mm / 36 x 24 inch
- Max. Throughput: 360 p/hour
- Required surface: 500 x 900 mm / 20 x 35 inch
The Prorunner mk1 can be upgraded with various types of product conveyors, such as a belt conveyor or driven roller conveyor. Furthermore, the required machine guard can also be supplied.
Prorunner mk1 vs PR2 throughput
Prorunner mk1: Accept and output products in three different directions
The Prorunner mk1 can be effortlessly integrated into almost any existing setting. The product elevator cannot only accept and output products via the left and/or right sides, but - if an appropriate product carrier is fitted - also from the front.
When configuring your system to best fit your situation, simply follow the step-by-step plan designed to make it easier for you to navigate the various options. You can use the adjoining illustration to help you select your infeed and outfeed options.
Example:
If you would like to elevate your products and feed them in from the left side, but output them to the front, choose combination A2. If you would like the product to descend and to feed the product both in and out to the right, choose combination 7G.
No, this is not always possible. There is a vent nipple on top of the gear box, which will leak if the motor is rotated 180° when mounted on the other side. Consult Qimarox if you wish to change the position of the gear motor
Yes, this is possible. The nut plates provide extra stability, preventing twisting during loading and unloading of products. If the conveyor (OEM) is rigid enough, this should not be a problem.
This is currently not available as an option, MOVIMOT is available and often sufficient. If MOVIGEAR is desired, it may be possible to offer that (in consultation with engineering).
By not using a counter weight it’s possible to have more flexibility for your lay-out as pallets can go in and out in each direction. Anther factor is cost, on engineering, material and maintenance. For each different application the weight would be different and by adding moving parts maintenance becomes more expensive. Also the counter weight would need safety pins for person safety when entering the safety zone.
All these additional costs will not compensate the slightly higher cost of a stronger gear motor.
Yes, We can deliver the Prorunner mk5 in the RAL colour of your choice.
Please check with your sales representative the implications on cost and delivery time.
No, our vertical conveyors are designed to work within an automated conveyor system.
Yes, a VFD is necessary. To make sure the unit is operating as expected it is needed to enable ‘hoist-application’ in your VFD settings.
Hoist-application is a term used for certain settings in the VDF that make an electric-motor suitable for hoist-solutions.
It is also needed to correctly set high and low speed settings.
We have chosen a belt for less noise and less maintenance. The belt is also very robust and durable.
Yes this is possible but we strongly advise you to make use of our experienced technicians on site (ask our sales department for the options in your region). If this is not possible Qimarox supplies the assembly instructions.
Yes, a stainless steel version is available but it’s not fully hygienic or wash down. If you need a full wash-down solution we can offer you the Prorunner mk5 wash-down.
Yes, the Prorunner mk1, PR2 and PR12 are available with an electric or pneumatic actuated safety pin.
The Prorunner mk1 and mk5 are available with a MoviMot drive system. This is not a standard component, which means that delivery time may be longer and costs may be higher.
No, that is not possible because the hoisting belt is winded onto a drum and thus the lift distance covered varies per motor revolution.
Another alternative is to use a PR2 when multiple stopping positions are required or more precise positioning is required. The PR2 can be equipped with an encoder.
The standard color is RAL 9007 (grey) for the column and product conveyor.
Some parts are zinc plated.
Other color combinations are possible but additional charges and extra delivery time might apply.
The maximum vertical speed of the Prorunner mk1 is 1,7m/s
You have the option to choose the motor position – left or right. The gear motor of the Prorunner mk1 can not be placed on a lower position.
It is typically positioned on the left side as standard, but it can also be configured on the right side to suit your specific requirements.
If you need to convey product vertically and if you need to optimize floor space usage a vertical conveyor is a good solution. The Prorunner mk1 is a solid and simple solution for a small investment when compared to other vertical conveyors. With many installations world-wide it is a proven solution for many different applications

We pack our products on wood with an heat treatment. When the shipment goes overseas we use VCI worthy foil to ensure that the shipment is free of moisture and dust.
Yes, all our wood is treated against pests by a heat treatment and meets the world wide ISPM 15 standard.
This of course depends on the height of the lift and any accessories ordered. However, each lift can be sent in modules, which means that the volume can be very limited.
