  • Straddle design places much lower stress on the guide rollers, extending useful life.
  • Four-point lifting handles much larger and heavier loads.
  • Mechanical design enables up to 100 feet of total vertical travel.
  • Mechanical vertical conveyors are programmable and can be called or sent to multiple levels in a building or conveyor system.
  • Open carriage sides empower customers with versatility in load transfer direction and product flow.
  • Load jam sensors suspend engine operation if carriage or its load becomes jammed between landings.
  • Motor control panel security requires personnel to activate a secure key switch before resuming lift operation following a load jam.
  • Over-travel sensing switch suspends engine operation should the lift continue past the uppermost landing.
  • Sensors on all lifting chains stop lift operation and movement if a slack chain is detected.
  • Counterweight sensors serve as a back-up safety precaution to slack chain sensors by suspending engine operation when a counterweight is lifted out of the guide tube.
  • Standard-issue shaft way barrier bar system improves personnel safety when carriage leaves the upper landing.
  • Interlocked landing gates automatically lock once the vertical lift carriage leaves a landing and cannot be opened until the lift carriage returns to that landing.
  • Gate status switches prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
  • Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound lift in the industry.
  • ASME B20.1 - Safety Requirements for Conveyors and Related Equipment
  • VRC Application Guidelines - as referenced by ASME B20.1
  • ASTM-A36 - Structural Steel Standard
  • AWS D.1 - Welding Standards

Selection considerations

  • Confirm load weight, center of gravity and load dimensions.
  • Confirm required lifting range, travel route and equipment clearances.
  • Confirm floor conditions, load support and equipment operating limits.
