DESCRIPTION:
Unit + On-Floor + No Accumulate. Used for low-frequency intermittent vertical transfers. Carrier used to raise or lower a load to different levels of a facility (e.g., different floors and/or mezzanines). Differs from a freight elevator in that it is not designed or certified to carry people. Can be manually or automatically loaded and/or controlled and can interface with horizontal conveyors. Also called: Conveyor Integrated Continuous Lifts (CICL) /Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRC) / Continuous Vertical Lifts (CVL)
These systems move materials in factories, warehouses, industrial plants, institutions or anywhere that products or supplies need to move from one level to another. They provide fast, efficient, convenient and safe access to/from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between levels in multiple story buildings.
These models accept loads horizontally, convey vertically and discharge horizontally, all in a continuous non-stop operation with loading and unloading in a Z pattern. Systems may be single direction or reversible, as required. Ideal for high-speed applications that require light-duty lifting of boxes, cartons, packages, totes, containers or cases.
Note: VRC are not classified as Elevators by Industry Institutions. These systems are not designed for carrying humans / persons across floors and are specifically designed for goods only (unlike goods or freight elevators which can accommodate people / forklifts etc)
Benefits:
Our continuous vertical lifts offer numerous cost-efficient benefits, including high speed, a simple, low-maintenance design, a wide selection of standardized units from modular components, and an option for fully automatic operation. Powered conveyors synchronized to the lift platform speed are used in loading and unloading, and are designed for the specific product to be handled, using roller, belt or chain.
