Vertical Conveyors

About Vertical Conveyors

A vertical conveyor is a machine which can be used to automatically move products from one level to another. These machines are typically referred to as VRC's (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors). However, the industry does not have universal standard terminology. These lifts can also be referred to as: product lift, material lift, parts lift, pallet lift, vertical lift, freight lift, utility lift, box lift, cargo lift, platform lift, baggage lift, vertical conveyor, and dumbwaiter. The reason it is not called an elevator is because of the fact that, that term usually is used when referring to machines that transport people from one level to another and these lifts are not designed or legally allowed to transport people.

A bigger distance over a smaller floor area can be bridged using a product lift or a vertical conveyor. A continuous conveyor or a discontinuous conveyor can be chosen as a vertical conveyor. Continuous conveyors can take the form of a spiral conveyor, an L-shaped conveyor or platform lift or a product lift fitted with a fork.
