A Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (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.
ACG offers VRCs that range from mechanical to hydraulic to fully automatic, customized systems for automated manufacturing and warehousing operations. VRCs are available in capacities from 10 lbs. to 130,000 lbs. with carriages from 30 x 30 in. to 30 x 60 ft., vertical heights to over 200 ft. and travel speeds to 400 fpm. The company provides total engineering, fabrication and
installation services and guarantees code approval in every state. |
