Why are items stopping at the lift entrance or exit?

Check the transport direction and the input side first. For downward transport, the output belongs at the bottom; rotate the upper section during placement to align the connection, then connect a box or conveyor at the receiving end.

Can I extend a lift by stacking another shaft on it?

Stacking another lift shaft creates a separate lift. Set the needed height by dragging during placement; a lift can reach the height for which you have building materials.

Move items vertically with a Conveyor Lifter

Use a Conveyor Lifter to carry items between different heights. Drag it to set the height and switch it between upward and downward transport.

This lift transports items. For a downward route, orient it with the output at the bottom and connect that destination to a conveyor or storage box.

Place and orient the connections

Align the bottom of the Conveyor Lifter with the intended connection, then hold the left mouse button to begin placement.
Drag the top to the required height. While still holding placement, press R to rotate the upper connection, then release to finish.
Press T to reverse the lift direction and change which side acts as the input. Connect the destination side to storage or the next conveyor.
