Elevators fall under the highly scrutinized elevator code because they are designed to carry people as well as material. Elevators codes also require a higher frequency of maintenance and more comprehensive maintenance by certified elevator technicians.
A Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (or material lift) has a much lower initial installation cost and significantly less ongoing service and maintenance requirements. They are also more robust in design.
So, if you need to move material vertically or that old freight elevator is “killing your budget”, think about replacement with a Pflow Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor.

Energy conservation and protecting finished goods from rain and snow have never been more important. A properly designed dock enclosure will keep the outside elements out during the loading cycle. Frommelt seals and shelters offer unique solutions, such as Firefighter Technology, for protecting against trailer marker light fires at the dock. The Eliminator Gapmaster provides full access loading while sealing the trailer hinge gap.
