Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor Application Guidelines
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRC) moves materials in factories, warehouses, industrial plants, institutions or anywhere that products or supplies need to move from one level to another. VRCs are not elevators. In fact, they have their own national code (ANSI/ASME B20.1) and are specifically exempt from the national elevator code. VRCs 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 a VRC include guide columns, carriage and a mechanical or hydraulic actuating mechanism.
