A single rider can operate the lift and stay with material as it changes levels

"A rideable lift is a lot like a VRC, but they're regulated under different ASME codes. A rider lift is regulated as an elevator, whereas a VRC is regulated as a vertical conveyor. But a rideable lift is not a public elevator—it carries only one person at a time, and only authorized people can use it. So it doesn't come with the same cost burden as an elevator. Just contact us with your questions! We're happy to help."

If you need to move materials up to a mezzanine or pick module, a VRC does a good job—but because a VRC is not designed for riders, workers can't travel with the product and will have to use stairs or a ladder to catch up to it. A rideable lift meets the appropriate code for an elevator, so a rider can accompany the materials you're moving, without the high cost of a public elevator. This can help you realize a number of benefits:

Improved security: keeping a person with the product is especially important in high-security applications like pharmaceuticals
Time savings: workers won't have to travel separately from conveyed materials
Improved employee safety: compared with carrying boxes up or down stairs, riding with the material is a safer solution
Better space use: adding another level allows you to use more of the vertical cube
