VRC Application Guide
 | Mechanical vertical reciprocating conveyors offer versatility and dependability for high-speed and multi-level applications and for moving large, heavy loads. Mechanical VRCs offer durable, heavy-duty construction and maximum flexibility in carriage size, capacity and traffic patterns. |
 | Hydraulic vertical conveyors provide reliable, economical vertical lifting for mezzanines, balconies and other two-level applications. Hydraulic VRC's offer heavy-duty construction with advanced safety technology and proven reliability. |
 | Fully automated VRC's are tied into your warehouse management system to move product between mezzanine floors and assembly stations. Depending on the application, accessories like photo eyes or pressure plates can be added. |
 | Wire enclosures are installed around the bottom and/or the top of the VRC to prevent injury to employees while the lift is in operation. It also provides a security barrier, allowing access to upper or lower levels of the lift destinations only by authorized personnel. |
 | Provides an extra layer of safety as a backup system to the use of VRC gates. Installs directly behind your lifts safety gate and raises out of the way when you need to load or unload. |
 | Expanded metal enclosures are installed to prevent injury to employees from falling objects or from normal mechanical operation. Gates come in a variety of opening styles and all are installed with electro-mechanical interlocks. |
 | We can design and build a VRC for practically any application where moving products vertically is a must. From aircraft or auto manufacturing to parking garages, a vertical reciprocating conveyor helps you get from A to B quickly, safely, and economically. |
 | Eliminates unsafe conditions during loading and unloading of vertical lifts by automatically locking the vertical lift carriage at critical upper levels. Prevents carriage creep, bounce or drop. |
 | This device employs a unique escapement brake if the descent speed exceeds a predetermined velocity. The SOS escapement device is fail-safe and therefore requires no lubrication or maintenance. |
Vertical
lifts help reduce costs, increase safety
A
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) is a vertical lift that moves materials in factories,
warehouses, industrial plants, institutions - anywhere that products or
supplies need to move from one level to another. VRC's provide fast, efficient, convenient
and safe access to or from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between
levels in multiple story buildings. They can be installed for
through-floor, interior or exterior applications. The principle components
of a VRC include guide columns, carriage and a mechanical or hydraulic
actuating mechanism. VRCs are not elevators.
They have their own national code and are specifically exempt
from the national elevator code.
