How the ferag.spiral spiral conveyor works
The system uses rolling support technology — the same low-friction principle as ferag.easychain — running on a helical track. Items travel at 0.25 to 1.0 m/s, accommodating packages up to 600×400×400 mm and loads up to 5 kg per plate or 20 kg per metre. Rolling friction keeps energy consumption, noise, and wear consistently low.
Each spiral module adds 1.0 metre of conveying height. Start with a single unit at 2.2 metres and expand incrementally — up to 12.2 metres with twelve stacked spirals — without modifying the surrounding system architecture.
Integrators specify ferag.spiral when a project needs a reliable vertical conveyor that installs fast and connects without custom engineering:
- Scalable height from 2.2 to 12.2 m. Add spirals incrementally as operational requirements grow — no system replacement needed.
- Four standardised outputs. Connect upstream and downstream without additional adjustments. Flexible for any existing layout.
- Plug-and-play from ferag.modules. Minimal planning effort, quick deployment, non-binding offer in three steps via the online price calculator.
- Energy-efficient rolling friction. Low-noise, low-wear operation reduces operational costs across the system lifecycle.
- Modular and expandable. Start small and scale. Each spiral module integrates without modifying the surrounding infrastructure.

Configure your spiral conveyor online
Choose from four exit variants and configure your spiral conveyor according to your specific requirements.
ferag.spiral is a modular spiral conveyor system for efficient vertical material transport between floor levels. It overcomes height differences in existing or new operational environments — without the floor space a traditional incline conveyor requires.
Part of the ferag.modules portfolio, it is available with minimal planning effort: choose your output configuration and height, receive a non-binding offer in three steps. Up to 12 spirals stack for conveying heights from 2.2 to 12.2 metres, with four standardised outputs for flexible connection to any existing infrastructure.
A spiral conveyor system transports items vertically between floor levels using a helical track — lifting or lowering goods continuously within a compact footprint. ferag.spiral uses rolling friction technology for energy-efficient, low-noise operation. It handles packages up to 600×400×400 mm at speeds between 0.25 and 1.0 m/s, with conveying heights from 2.2 to 12.2 metres.
ferag.spiral is a standalone vertical conveyor module from the ferag.modules portfolio — designed for quick integration at one specific height-change point. ferag.easychain is a full modular conveyor system where a spiral section is one routing option within a broader 3D conveying network. Both use the same rolling friction principle and handle the same package dimensions. They can also be combined in the same facility.
The ferag spiral conveyor starts at 2.2 metres with one spiral unit. Each additional spiral adds 1.0 metre of height, scaling up to 12.2 metres with twelve stacked spirals. The modular design allows height to be expanded incrementally without modifying surrounding systems.
ferag.spiral offers four standardised output configurations — selectable via the online price calculator — that connect directly to upstream and downstream conveying infrastructure without additional engineering adjustments. This allows flexible integration into any existing or new facility layout.

Then submit your configuration to receive a non-binding offer from Ferag’s team — typically within one business day. No account or commitment required.
Spiral conveyors are used in e-commerce fulfilment, retail, B2B warehousing, 3PL operations, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing. ferag.spiral is particularly suitable for retrofitting existing facilities where vertical material flow is needed but floor space for incline conveyors is not available.
