Autoquip Mechanical Cantilever VRC Lifts
The Cantilever VRC mechanical Freightlifts are designed to move materials weighing up to 6,000 pounds between multiple elevations as high as 100 feet – typically to and from mezzanines, between floors of a building, or inside elevator shafts. Autoquip mechanical Cantilever material lifts raise and lower the carriage in two guide beams by means of a top-mounted brake motor, helical gear reducer, a one-piece drive shaft, and synchronized heavy-duty lifting chains (minimum factor of safety of 6 to 1). Operational features of the mechanical VRC include variable or high speeds, platform tension rollers and permanently adjusted chain tensioners. Safety features of this material lift include overload or jam protection, slack chain safety stop, and two safety locking cams for free-fall arrest in the unlikely event of a chain failure. Typical applications for mechanical VRC lifts are edge of mezzanine to multiple levels, freight elevator replacement, automatic systems, and conveyor projects with typical markets being warehousing, food processing, textile, and packaging and distribution. “C”, “Z”, and “90 degree” load patterns are available with the Cantilever mechanical VRC lift.
