Safely transport materials between levels with a VRC built by BHS to match custom height requirement, weight capacity, and carriage size.

Transport pallet loads, loose materials, and heavy equipment between levels with a hydraulic Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) from BHS, Inc. Every material lift is custom-built to match your facility, including integration with conveyors and other material handling systems. The VRC is essential for multi-floor warehouses, food/beverage facilities, manufacturing plants, automotive factories, and other high-throughput material handling operations.

While VRCs provide similar benefits to freight elevators, they occupy a unique regulatory category and are designed for materials and equipment, not people. That means no inspections and lower costs of ownership. Simple push-button controls and low lift times improve efficiency for quick ROIs with each installation.    

Safety features include a velocity fuse that locks the lift in the unlikely event of hydraulic hose failure; drop locks that engage the instant lift chains cease functioning; and gate sensors that ensure the enclosures are shut before enabling movement between levels. Thoughtful design ensures safe, efficient material handling between multiple levels of any facility.
