Steady & Reliable Manufacturer
Product Detailed Professional Description
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) are automated lift systems designed to vertically transport materials (e.g., pallets, carts, totes) between two or more fixed floor levels. VRCs utilize a moving carriage platform guided by rails and driven by mechanical (chain/cable/screw) or hydraulic systems. Unlike elevators, VRCs are strictly for material transport and are subject to machinery safety standards (not passenger codes). They are characterized by a defined travel speed, payload capacity, and platform size, providing efficient, controlled vertical transfer in multi-story facilities.
