High-Capacity Mezzanine Lift Effortlessly Elevates 15,000 lb Payloads
A manufacturing facility needed a reliable solution to transport heavy machinery, oversized materials, and multiple pallets between two floor levels. Their operation required a safe, efficient, reliable and robust lifting solution capable of handling loads up to 15,000 pounds over a 15-foot vertical travel distance. Additionally, the solution had to withstand high-frequency use without compromising performance, all while seamlessly integrating into the facility’s workflow.
F Series
- 4-Post Mechanical Lift
- Lifts Loads up to 15,000 lbs
- 15’ Vertical Rise
- 2 Levels of Service
- 18 FPM Travel Speed

To address these challenges, Power and Motion Industrial Sales worked closely with the end-user to assess their specific needs. After a thorough evaluation, they recommended the PFlow F Series, a high-capacity vertical receiprocating conveyor (VRC) engineered to support the facility’s rigerous workflow. The F Series mechanical material lift was chosen for its exceptional stability and ability to handle oversized and extremely heavy loads. With a spacious carriage measuring 11 feet wide, 12 feet long, and 9 feet high, the lift provided ample space for oversized materials.
This lift was designed for efficiency, operating at approximately 18 feet per minute to ensure smooth and rapid transportation between floors.
A two-level call/send control system was incorporated for ease of operation, allowing workers to send or retrieve loads with minimal effort. Safety was also a top priority, leading to the inclusion of powered vertical-acting gates and a fully-enclosed structure to protect both personnel and equipment during use.
The PFlow F Series proved to be a vital asset to the facility, significantly enhancing material handling with its robust construction and high-capacity design. By facilitating the seamless transport of machinery and oversized loads, the lift minimized time and labor costs while delivering exceptional reliability, even under high-cycle use. Its customized features ensured a precise fit for the facility’s needs, improving efficiency, workplace safety, and workflow continuity. The fully-enclosed design and automated gates provided an added layer of security, ensuring that all material transfers were conducted safely, giving the end-user peace of mind in their daily operations.
This application showcases the power of partnering with a trusted material handling dealer like Power and Motion Industrial Sales and an industry-leading equipment manufacturer like PFlow Industries to develop a tailored solution for your material lifting challenges. By leveraging expert collaboration, you gain a well-designed VRC that enhances operational efficiency while ensuring the safe, reliable movement of heavy loads.
PFlow’s F Series – The Hercules of Material Lifts
Built to withstand demanding industrial applications, the PFlow F Series VRC has a standard load capacity of 50,000 pounds and can be customized to handle up to 200,000 lbs! Its design accommodates unlimited carriage sizes and vertical rise, making it ideal for transporting multiple pallets, oversized materials, large carts, or heavy machinery to multiple floor levels.
