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 400 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: 400 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: 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.

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.
No, that is not possible because the hoisting belt winds up and thus the lift distance covered varies per motor revolution. As an alternative to position sensors, the Prorunner mk1 can be fitted with a laser photocell.
This is mainly related to the flexibility and application of the lifts. For information, see the website.
Yes, to enable hoist-application, a VFD is necessary. Hoist-application is a term used for certain settings in the VDF that make an electric-motor suitable for hoist-solutions. It is also necessary for high and low speed settings.
The holes in the anchor set are 13mm.
We have chosen a belt for less noise and less maintenance. The belt is also very robust and durable.
No, that is not possible because the hoisting belt winds up and thus the lift distance covered varies per motor revolution. As an alternative to position sensors, the Prorunner mk1 can be fitted with a laser photocell.
There’s no vertical pressure on the anchor brackets. The Prorunner mk1 is a self-contained machine. The brackets are only meant for lateral stabilization when infeeding and outfeeding.
The weight depends on the configuration and varies from 300kg/660lbs (at 3 meters / 10 feet high) to 900kg/1985lbs (at 11 meters / 36 feet high ). The floor pressure varies from 0,4 mpa ( at 3 meters / 10ft high) to 0,8mpa (at 11 meters / 36ft high).
The following variations, of the mk1 are available: The PR1-RT product lift is equipped with a rotating conveyor to move products around corners. We also sell a PR1-TF which combines two facing mk1 lifts for bigger product sizes.
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.
The lowest level we can go with a mk1 with standard Qimarox conveyor is 350mm. There are a couple of factors which might affect the lowest feasible height, like height of the conveyor or the total load on the conveyor arms.
The maximum load the Prorunner mk1 vertical conveyor can handle is 150kg, this includes the weight of the product conveyor.
Standard mk1 lift can have up to 6 stop positions. More than 6 stop positions is possible with some adjustments on the lift column (on request.)
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.
Although it is needed to use a frequency inverter, it is not part of the delivery. There is a possibility to supply a gear motor with SEW Movimot. In this case the frequency inverter is integrated into the gear motor.
Anchor bolts need to be supplied by the integrator and are not part of the delivery.
The Prorunner mk1 equipped with a manual safety pin. An automated drop-own safety is under development
The Prorunner vertical conveyors always carry the CE certificate from Qimarox. When the system integrator incorporates the lift into a larger system, they must issue a CE certificate for the entire system to ensure overall compliance.
A Prorunner vertical conveyor is supplied as a mechanical component including the sensors and cabling up to the I/O module. The control/control box is not supplied by Qimarox, but comes from the system integrator.
The standard color scheme is RAL 9007 (grey) for the lift column. Other color combinations are possible with additional charges and extra delivery time.
The footprint of a Prorunner mk1 is 930mm long and 580mm wide.
The maximum vertical speed is 1,7m/s
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.
The weight of a Prorunner Mk1 varies based on its configuration. For example, a unit with a height of 3 meters (10 feet) weighs approximately 300 kg (660 lbs), while a unit with a height of 11 meters (36 feet) weighs approximately 900 kg (1985 lbs). The final weight depends on the specific configuration and height you have ordered.
No, the gear motor of the Prorunner mk1 placed on a lower position. However, you have the option to choose the motor position – left or right. 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
Solid and simple solution compare to a small investment for a low speed lift system.
