About VRCs and RiderLifts
VRCs/Material Lifts
VRCs (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors) and material lifts are a safe and efficient solution for moving materials between different levels. Unlike elevators, which are designed to transport people, VRCs are exclusively for freight/materials transport.
These solutions don’t require an elevator shaft, are often more cost-effective to install and operate, and can be built to fit in tight spaces. These aspects make them an ideal alternative to using forklifts on ramps, which can be a safety hazard.
With both hydraulic and mechanical options available, there is a lift solution perfect for your vertical lifting operation!
RMLs (Rideable Material Lifts)
RiderLifts (RMLs/Rideable Material Lifts) are a specialized vertical lift that combines the functionality of a material lift with the ability to transport a human operator. This allows for a single system to move both personnel and materials, which is particularly useful in multi-level warehouses or manufacturing facilities where an operator needs to travel with their goods.
This dual-purpose design improves efficiency and safety, as it eliminates the need for a separate person or process to receive materials at the destination level.

Benefits
Enhanced Safety
VRCs and material lifts are a far safer alternative to using forklifts on ramps or manual lifting. They come equipped with safety features like interlocked gates and anti-fall systems that protect both your employees and your products.
Increased Efficiency
These lift solutions provide a consistent and reliable way to move items between levels. By automating this process, you eliminate the time and labor associated with manual transport, allowing your team to focus on more productive tasks and significantly improving overall workflow and throughput.
Space Optimization
VRCs and material lifts allow you to take full advantage of your vertical space by moving materials to mezzanines and upper floors. This can effectively double or even triple your storage capacity without requiring you to expand your building.
Cost Efficiency
VRCs and material lifts are a highly cost-effective long-term solution. They have lower installation, operational, and maintenance costs compared to traditional freight elevators. By reducing labor needs and preventing product damage and injuries, they also contribute to a healthier bottom line.
Versatility and Customization
These lifts are incredibly versatile with hydraulic and mechanical options and can also be customized to meet your specific needs. They can handle a wide range of load weights and sizes and can be configured with various loading patterns to seamlessly integrate with your existing facility layout and workflow.
Integration with Other Solutions
VRCs and material lifts are popular solutions for integrating into other systems, whether it be a mezzanine, conveyor system, or racking system. These lifts can be a valuable contributor to a facility’s processes.
