Hydraulic Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor
Hydraulic VRCs – Cost-Effective Material Lifts for Two-Level Applications
Hydraulic Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs)—also called hydraulic material lifts or freight lifts—provide a safe, reliable, and cost-effective way to move products between floors. Ideal for two-level applications such as mezzanines, balconies, and second stories, hydraulic VRCs are best suited for facilities that don’t require continuous lifting cycles. With cantilever and straddle configurations available, these lifts offer flexible loading and unloading options while keeping installation and upfront costs lower than mechanical systems.
