Engineered for Maximum Efficiency

Our Hydraulic VRC systems deliver superior performance, safety, and reliability for all your material handling operations between multiple floor levels.

Versatile Platform Options

Wide variety of platform sizes and weight capacities available to match your specific material handling requirements and space constraints.

Advanced Safety Systems

Built-in locking mechanisms prevent platform movement during hydraulic failure, ensuring complete safety for your equipment and operations.

Cost-Effective Solution

Hydraulic VRC units are generally less expensive than mechanical alternatives while providing reliable two-level material transport capabilities.

Durable Construction

Fully primed with baked enamel finish and machine grade cylinders with return lines ensure long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Flexible Installation

Choose between floor mounted or pit mounted configurations to best suit your facility layout and operational requirements.

Code Compliant Design

UL listed panel shop certification and ASME B20.1 conformance ensure your installation meets all safety and regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between floor mounted and pit mounted VRC systems?
Floor mounted units sit on top of the floor surface and require overhead clearance for the full travel height. Pit mounted units are recessed into the floor, reducing overhead requirements but requiring excavation and pit construction.
What safety features are included with hydraulic VRC systems?
Our VRC systems include locking mechanisms in case of hydraulic failure, UL listed control panels, ASME B20.1 compliance, and strict adherence to VRC Guidelines. No riders are allowed on the platform for safety.
Can VRC systems be used for more than two levels?
Hydraulic VRC systems are limited to two level operations only. For multi-level applications beyond two floors, mechanical lift systems would be more appropriate.
What warranty coverage is provided with VRC systems?
We provide a comprehensive 5-year structural warranty and 1-year electrical/hydraulic warranty. Phone and email support are available for technical assistance and parts ordering.
What are the typical applications for hydraulic VRC systems?
VRC systems are ideal for moving goods between floor levels, mezzanine access, warehouse operations, and any application requiring C, Z, or L loading patterns between two levels.
