Hydraulic & Mechanical VRC Lifts
A vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) is a material-lift solution to safely and efficiently move goods vertically between floors or levels in distribution centers, warehouses, storage and manufacturing facilities, factories, and more.
Because space is always at a premium, a vertical reciprocating conveyor (CRV) can help your business become leaner and operate safer and more efficiently. A VRC lift is cheaper to install, operate, and maintain than both forklifts and elevators. Because they have a smaller footprint than an elevator, you will have more building space for more cost-effective uses. Also, VRC lifts are designed to transport materials only and not passengers, which makes them a safer solution than forklifts or manpower for moving goods vertically.
