Complete Vertical Lifting Solutions

Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors move materials in factories, warehouses, industrial plants, institutions

or anywhere that products or supplies need to move from one level to another. Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors are not elevators. In fact, they have their own national code (ANSI/ASME B20.1) and are specifically exempt from the national elevator code. Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors provide fast, efficient, convenient and safe access to/from mezzanines, balconies, basements, and between levels in multiple story buildings. They can be installed for through-floor, interior or exterior applications. The principal components of Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors include guide columns, carriage and a mechanical or hydraulic actuating mechanism.

Hydraulic Vertical Lifts/ Series 21

Series 21 Lift Provides Efficient, Safe Vertical Handling for Loads Up To 6,000 Lbs.

Adaptable for mezzanines, through-floor, inside or outside applications. Customized to meet your exact needs.

Quality construction with 6" wide flange columns, oversized bearings and heavy roller chain ensures strength, durability and long-lasting performance.

Carriage is lifted and lowered by two hydraulic cylinders mounted on the guide columns.

Lifts loads up to 6,000 lbs. Carriage sizes to 10' x 10'. Vertical rise heights to 22'. Available in straddle or cantilever styles.

Torsion bar links the two hydraulic cylinders to equalize the load and ensure the carriage remains level at all times.

Optional quick-connect cabling for push-button stations and gate interlocks is available to significantly reduce field-wiring costs. (Check local codes for conformity.)

Available with patented DeckLock system that automatically locks carriage at critical upper levels and eliminates carriage bounce or drift.

Built-in, advanced safety features protect workers and materials. Access gates at each level are interlocked with lift operation.

Velocity fuses prevent uncontrolled carriage descent in the unlikely event of a total hydraulic hose rupture.

Meets ANSI/ASME B20.1 code.

Hydraulic Vertical Lifts/ Series D

Series D Lift Offers High Quality and Safety, Low Maintenance, Features Exclusive Dual-Pak Design.

Carriage is lifted and lowered by dual 2" ram direct-acting hydraulic cylinders.

Lifts loads up to 3,000 lbs. Carriage sizes to 6' x 6'. Vertical rise heights to 14'. Ideal for mezzanine and balcony applications.

Pressure-compensated control valve regulates flow of hydraulic oil to ensure smooth, constant lowering speed under any load.

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cylinder guide prevents cylinders from twisting during operation, improves cylinder life.

Pressure switch prevents the carriage from drifting or sinking to ensure smoother, safer loading and unloading operations.
