Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors - Vertical Lift - Mezzanine Lift System

Source from: http://www.cisco-eagle.com/systems/conveyors/Vertical%20Reciprocating%20Conveyors/Index.htm

A Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) moves materials--in factories, warehouses, industrial plants, institutions--anywhere that products or supplies need to move from one level to another.


VRCs are not elevators. In fact, they have their own national code and are specifically exempt from the national elevator code. VRCs provide fast, efficient, convenient and safe access to or from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between levels in multiple story buildings. They can be installed for through-floor, interior or exterior applications. The principle components of a VRC include guide columns, carriage and a mechanical or hydraulic actuating mechanism.


We offer the most complete line of VRCs from mechanical to hydraulic to fully automatic, customized systems for automated manufacturing and warehousing operations. VRCs are available in capacities from 10 lbs. to 100,000 lbs. with carriages from 30 x 30 in. to 30 x 30 ft., vertical heights from 4 ft. to over 200 ft. and travel speeds to 400 fpm. They meet or exceed ANSI and OSHA regulations.
