Vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) are a safe, economical way to raise and lower materials in factories, warehouses, distribution facilities, industrial plants, institutions, or anywhere that products or supplies need to be moved from one level to another. VRCs are not elevators and must not be used to transport people. They have their own national code (ASME B20.1) and are specifically exempt from the national elevator code. In 1981, PFlow helped change the national safety codes to exempt “material-moving” vertical conveyors from “people-moving” elevator safety regulations. Material lift vertical reciprocating conveyors provide fast, efficient and convenient access to and from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between levels in multiple-story buildings. These freight lifts can be installed for through-floor within a building, in an unused elevator shaft, or in interior/exterior applications. VRCs are commonly used as vertical pallet lifts. As such, they transport pallet loads much more safely and efficiently than fork lifts.We have built large-load work platforms, over-and-under equipment for assembly lines, hopper transfer systems, and much more.
