Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors

VRCs are similar to elevators (Type A Lifts) in form and function. However, VRCs are not subject to compliance with standard elevator codes. All vertical reciprocating conveyors fall under ASME B20.1 for safety standards and compliance covering conveyors and related equipment. They are considered Type B Lifts.

Vertical reciprocating conveyors provide a safe way to raise and lower materials between levels in industrial facilities. VRCs are permanently installed lifting equipment and most often found in settings such as factories, warehouses, and industrial plants. They may be installed indoors or outdoors and can facilitate reliable access and movement of goods between all levels of a building.

Maximum Material Handling has been providing VRCs and other material handling solutions since our beginning. Our well-versed staff can oversee the process for correctly identifying the right VRC to fit your application.
