Pick Module Replenishment
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) can dramatically help improve the efficiency of your pick module system. They offer a versatile and cost-effective way of increasing the overall performance of your order fulfillment operation.
We custom design each VRC and tailor them to your exact requirements. VRCs can be installed in your new warehouse or be engineered to work with existing pick modules. We can even create a VRC to work with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).
Improve labor efficiency and optimize pick module replenishment with a VRC from PFlow.
Safe
PFlow designs our VRCs with safety first in mind. Pressure switches, mechanical stops, and safety cams are just a few of the many standard safety features
Value-Added
We work closely with our customers to understand their challenges and provide intelligent solutions that add value to their operations.
Customizable
Our team of engineers will design a highly customized solution that meets your exact operating environment and requirements.
Why Use VRCs in Pick Module Systems?
VRCs offer a wide array of features that make them perfect for use with pick modules:
- VRCs are perfect for working in tandem with new or existing horizontal conveyor systems
- VRCs are compatible with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
- VRCs can be designed for continuous, 24/7/365 use
- VRCs provide a safer and more efficient material lifting means when compared to labor-intensive solutions such as forklifts, scissor lifts, or using stairs

Frequently Asked Questions
A vertical reciprocating carrier (VRC) is also known as a material lift, and it safely lifts materials, boxes, and cargo from one floor level to another. People are not allowed to ride on VRCs. Mechanical and hydraulic are two different types of VRCs, and each has its own advantages and best use cases.
Our fully automated VRCs operate at a standard 25 feet per minute, and they are capable of reaching speeds of up to 400 feet per minute.
No! Mechanical VRCs from PFlow can reach unlimited floor levels.
