PFlow Industries Company Profile

Level carriage movement regardless of load placement.

Level carriage movement regardless of load placement.

PFlow’s 21 Series hydraulic vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) is a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for lifting goods and materials to a second level, balcony or a mezzanine and, is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

With its 2-post design, the 21 Series VRC can be configured as a straddle or a cantilever, based on your application. Both configurations feature a chain over sprocket design with a synchronized torsion bar, guaranteeing that regardless of load placement on the carriage, the carriage will remain level as it is lifted and lowered.

21 Series Overview

  • Load capacity up to 6,000 pounds (based on carriage size)

  • Vertical travel of up to 22’

  • Travel speed of 24 feet per minute (FPM)

  • 10 cycles per hour / 100 cycles per day

21 Series Features

  • Remote mounted control panel and motor are pre-wired and ready for immediate installation

  • Carriage is lifted and lowered by chain over sprocket; sprockets are mounted on an overhead synchronized shaft that links the two hydraulic cylinders mounted on 6” guide columns to ensure carriage remains level at all times

  • Velocity fuses prevent uncontrolled descent in the unlikely event of a hose rupture

  • Check valves hold the carriage in place in the event of power loss

  • Pressure switch prevents the carriage from drifting or sinking for a highly stable loading and unloading operation

  • Certified safety cams prevent carriage descent in the unlikely event of a chain failure

  • Optional quick-connect cabling for push-button stations and gate interlocks greatly reduces the field-wiring costs

  • Optional DeckLock Safety System provides added security at critical upper levels

  • Optional hot-dipped galvanized or epoxy finish for outdoor or wash-down environments

  • Explosion-proof components available

  • Lifetime structural warranty

  • Conforms to ASME B20.1 Safety Standards

PFlow can design a VRC for your specific lifting needs, helping your business maximize throughput without compromising safety.
