How to define a two pallet elevator

Hi,

I would like to ask if there is any way of modelling a double elevator. I've tried choosing 2 as capacity in TaskExecuters but it seems some other logic needs to be programmed. In this case I have a conveyor with pallets and I'd like the elevator to only move when it is loaded with 2 pallets.

What would be the best way to do it?

Thanks.

I strore projected location from item on conveyor in an item label on exit.

I set location of item on load from the label values.
