General Information

Mechanical Cantilever Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors for Faster Speed

The 2-post cantilevered mechanical vertical conveyors (VRCs) employs an industry-best heavy duty SEW Eurodrive gear motor drive with instantaneous braking capability that ensures consistent, repeatable stopping and holding of the suspended carriage during loading/unloading. Due to the carriage being cantilevered off the guide beams, there are no over-head restrictions limiting load height. The cantilever mechanical freight lift travels up to 100 ft. with capacities to 6,000 lbs. and carriage lengths up to 12 ft.

Product Information

Durability and Quality

High capacity steel rollers with spiral-wound, Teflon-impregnated bushings produce smooth and reliable carriage movement.
Heavy-duty SEW Eurodrive gear motor drive extends the life of the freight lift for years and years of rugged, reliable service.
Synchronized, dual-chain lifting system ensures that the carriage remains level throughout the lift’s vertical travel, even with off-centered loads.
Minimum ¼ inch thick steel reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, maximizes load stability, and extends life of the platform deck.
Structural steel guide beams ensure consistent, reliable tracking of carriage rollers and extends the life of the beams

Simplicity

Synchronized lifting chains allow for wider carriage widths.
Mechanical design enables up to 100 feet of total vertical travel.
Mechanical vertical conveyors are programmable and can be called or sent to multiple levels in a building or conveyor system.
Carriage requires no overhead structure and enables an unlimited load height.
Cantilevered design permits three-way carriage loading.

Safety

Load jam sensors suspend engine operation if carriage or its load becomes jammed between landings.
Motor control panel security requires personnel to activate a secure key switch before resuming lift operation following a load jam.
Over-travel sensing switch suspends engine operation should the lift continue past the uppermost landing.
Sensors on all lifting chains stop lift operation and movement if a slack chain is detected.
Counterweight sensors serve as a back-up safety precaution to slack chain sensors by suspending engine operation when a counterweight is lifted out of the guide tube.
Certified carriage brakes stop carriage falls in the very unlikely event of a sudden breakage of both lifting cables.
Standard-issue shaft way barrier bar system improves personnel safety when carriage leaves the upper landing.
Interlocked landing gates automatically lock once the vertical lift carriage leaves a landing and cannot be opened until the lift carriage returns to that landing.
Gate status switches prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound lift in the industry.
Compliance with recognized standards:

Maintenance and Warranty

Heavy duty SEW Eurodrive gear motor requires minimal service and maintenance.
Maintenance-free carriage rollers require no lubrication.
Eurodrive gear motor’s manual brake release overrides handle to help in lift start-up and trouble-shooting.
Autoquip offers a 1-year warranty on all parts and a 5-year warranty on lift structure as a promise that you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable VRC.
