Create model of 'Vertical conveyor belt with carriage unit'

Hi all,
I am trying to create vertical conveyor model to simluate my facility and the video I took with 5 boxes.
Wish to realize the features of

Feature 1) create vertical conveyor (with 4 carriage unit, of vertical speed 0.3m/s)

Feature 2) manually set up total number of source input as 5 (I took a video with only 5 boxes), so the simulation animation is gotta match to my video taken.
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtBKrpK-cZ0 : approaching to vertical (at 1F)
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch96h6byuxQ : landing out from vertical (at 2F)

Can someone help?

You need a fixed interval movement (power and free) and you need to connect the conveyors.

Hi,

Thanks to fl-up on this, Jason.

Tried the file you just uploaded, but the simulation running stops at exact 51.05 secs. (as below capture)

Is if fine working at your side without simulation stopping?

Hi Jason,
from my model, standing one(just edited z-coordinate of the horizontal belt) was just to show what I want to create.

What I am trying to simulate shall be like below (carriage unit carries the boxes - without rotating box, saying box is containing water and stuff)
