THE HERCULES OF VRCS
The F Series vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) from PFlow Industries is a 4-post mechanical vertical lift that can easily handle loads of up to 50,000 pounds or more in high-speed, high-cycle environments. Customization is available for heavier loads. PFlow has designed F Series lifts that handle up to 200,000 lbs!
The F Series vertical reciprocating conveyor is ideal for lifting multiple pallets, oversized materials, large carts, or heavy machinery between two or more levels, indoors or outdoors.
Lifted and lowered by heavy-duty roller chains, the F Series VRC, is built to meet your specific application and is virtually limitless.
F Series 4-Post Lift Overview
Advanced safety features are built into each F Series VRC
Transporting heavy boxes, pallets, equipment, cargo, and oversized loads between floor levels. Engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, the F Series offers the flexibility to load and unload from any side of the carriage, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
50,000 lbs (standard), customizable up to 200,000 lbs
Unlimited (minimum carriage size is 6′ wide by 6’ 6″ long)
The standard travel speed is 18 FPM, with speeds of up to 400 FPM available
Unlimited cycles
Carriage is lifted and lowered by roller chains attached to an electric motor-reducer assembly mounted on the guide columns. Standard units employ 2 HP to 15 HP TEFC brake motors.
Safety codes (ASME B20.1) require interlocked gates with enclosures on all sides of the lift. Enclosures must be a minimum of 8’ high and reject a ball 2” in diameter.
Standard power requirements are 230/460VAC, 3-phase. Control voltage is
24 VDC. Standard control panels and push-button stations are NEMA 12 rated.
Drawings are in DWG and PDF formats. If you have trouble downloading a DWG file, contact inside sales or a product manager.
“We are extremely happy with the operation of the PFlow lift, and we have been running it with absolutely no problems. We will soon be moving from manufacturing six models to eleven, so it could not have been a better choice for a capital expenditure!”
– Roy Whitaker, Senior Process Engineer, Sea Ray in Palm Coast
“PWD does a lot of work with PFlow on more complex lifts. There are a handful of companies that can do the simpler, low payload, two level lifts. For anything where some real engineering expertise is required the list shrinks considerably. Goree brought us in specifically due to the challenge of designing and installing these lifts.”
– David Willemssen, Precision Warehouse Design
Standard preventative maintenance of a lift typically falls within the capabilities of plant maintenance personnel. It generally requires inspecting the lift quarterly and lubricating parts as needed. Read more about F Series preventative maintenance requirements.
We typically send out approval drawings within two to three weeks after receiving an order. We strive to ship a standard lift anywhere from fourteen to sixteen weeks after you return the signed approval drawings to us.
