B Series Mechanical Box Lift
THE IDEAL WAY TO MOVE SMALL LOADS BETWEEN LEVELS
The B Series Box Lift vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC), from PFlow Industries is ideal for automatically moving boxes, totes, cartons, sacks, cases and individual parts, with ease and speed, to mezzanines or between floors and conveyor levels.
Similar to a commercial dumbwaiter, and designed for quick and easy installation, PFlow’s B Series Box Lift’s sections are shipped pre-wired with quick-connect wiring. Unlike a commercial dumbwaiter, the B Series Box Lift’s carriage, or platform, is lifted/lowered by dual roller chains connected to a mechanical motor/gear reducer. The motor/gear reducer is located in an easy-to-access location at the base of the unit so that maintenance can be performed quickly and easily, reducing downtime and saving time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
B Series lifts from PFlow are mechanical. The carriage is lifted and lowered by dual roller chains connected to electric motor-reducer assembly. One of the main differences between the two is that mechanical lifts allow for unlimited / continuous cycle use, which is key to optimizing your operation. Learn more about the other differences between hydraulic and mechanical lifts.
We incorporate a wide range of safety features into our B Series lifts, such as electromechanical safety gate interlocks, motor drive assembly with a brake and gear motor reducer, chain jam sensor, spring-loaded safety pins and full height enclosure panels.
