Moving the dozer up

[bjrn]

So, there are a few ways of getting a dozer to go up. Most people seem to be using the one block+winch thing. I was wondering what good alternatives there are, for instance if you can't use winches. I played around a little with it (very little), and with everything available it was easy to make one that took one space less space horizontally (but made up for that in vertical space) using a duplicator. Pipes and conveyors worked as well. Still, as I said, I haven't spent very much time on this, but I was curious if others have done more and come up with other neat solutions.

The two I mentioned (plus the block/winch one) is in gydazel

People have been calling these things "switchbacks", I think.  I know of one other variation, using two ramps back to back.  The nice thing is that it works even if the dozer is pushing cargo, if you leave enough space (although it does reverse the order).  Added at the top of yours: bupetyb

If you only need him to go up one time only, and don't have any switches or copiers or winches, or even upward pipes...  A lock will do as well. sukyzob

I liked your design Otto. I had never thought about using the gate till now. I did modify it a little bit so you can do repeated lifts if need be Dozynav on second thought i used a UP tube to do this OOPS

Very nice designs. Switch-back is definetevly very usefull. Here's another one -- a one time dozer remote (it uses 2 dozers). pusopud

You can do it with a downward copier though. befiseg

You can even use another dozer! sydolyg  The "zipper" on the far right seems the most practical way to move dozers up using other dozers.

Oh, the zipper is nice, very visually pleasing.
