A vertical lift is a mechanical device used to move goods between different vertical levels. It operates by raising or lowering a platform along a fixed path and is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and transportation settings. Vertical lifts are designed to save space and improve efficiency in facilities where horizontal movement is limited.
Technically, no—a VRC is not classified as an elevator. While it performs a similar function in transporting materials vertically, VRCs are governed by different safety codes and standards. They are specifically engineered for freight and not designed or permitted to carry people.
A Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) is a type of material lift designed to move goods between different floors or levels. Unlike elevators, VRCs are intended strictly for cargo, not passengers. They use a carriage that travels up and down a vertical guide structure, powered by hydraulic, mechanical, or chain-drive systems.
There are several types of vertical conveyors, each suited for different applications:
