Hydraulic Vertical Lift
SIMPLE, COST-EFFECTIVE 2 LEVEL LIFTING
The 2-post D Series vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) from PFlow Industries lifts loads of up to 3,000 lbs and has an innovative design that ensures highly stable loading and unloading.
D Series hydraulic VRCs are low-maintenance and are ideal for lifting a variety of loads, including pallet loads, to mezzanines and balconies.

- Check valves hold the carriage in place in the event of power loss
Features & Benefits
- Remote-mounted control panel and motor are pre-wired and ready for immediate installation
- Cantilever carriage is lifted and lowered by dual 2” direct-acting hydraulic cylinders mounted between 6” guide columns
- Direct-action guided Dual-Pak design has no cables, chains, sheaves, sprockets, bearings, or other components that can break or require lubrication for long-term performance
- Pressure compensated control valve regulates the flow of hydraulic oil for a constant lowering speed under any load
-
Ultra-high molecular weight, polyethylene cylinder guide prevents cylinders from twisting during operation –
improving cylinder life - Optional quick-connect cabling for push-button stations and gate interlocks greatly reduces field-wiring costs
- Optional hot-dipped galvanized or epoxy finish for outdoor or wash-down environments
