Hydraulic
Overall lowest cost to manufacture, this type of lifting system is the most common among VRC applications. Typically specified for single level operations (ground plus one) without intermediate stops and lower frequency cycle rates.
Straddle
- Standard lift capacities up to 4,000 lbs.
- Loading/unloading: “C” or “Z” patterns, providing flexibility to maneuver loads
- Platform sizes up to 8 ft. wide x 12 ft. long
- Structurally stable configuration offers reduced bracing and lower wheel loads for extended service life
- Lift speed: 20 FPM
Design: carriage consists of steel deck plate with railings on non-operating sides and safety chains on operating ends. Carriage is guided between two structural steel members.
Cantilever
- Standard lift capacities up to 4,000 lbs.
- Platform sizes up to 8 ft. wide x 6 ft. long
- Allows material movement within the smallest possible equipment footprint
- Loading/unloading: “C”, “Z”, or 90 degrees patterns, offering extra flexibility to maneuver loads
- Suitable where headroom is restricted and/or for tall loads
- Free-standing models avail with optional support structure
- Lift speed: 20 FPM
Design: carriage consists of steel deck plate with railings on non-operating sides and safety chains on operating ends. Carriage is guided between two structural steel members.
