Overview
The mechanical straddle VRC is a two-post freight lift for high throughput jobs with steady, repeatable runs. The carriage sits between the posts, which allows longer carriages and loading straight through.
The carriage lowers to 4.25 inches. Synchronized lifting chains keep it level, and custom builds have reached about 100 feet of travel.
There are 6 standard models that handle 1,000 to 6,000 lb. Vertical travel is 144 in. Lowered height is 4.25 in. Carriage widths are 48 to 120 in and lengths are 36 to 144 in. Each model has its own row and model number in the table on this page.
What comes standard
- Gear motor drive with a manual brake release
- Programmable stops at several levels
- Load jam sensors and a key switch reset
- Slack chain sensors and an over-travel switch
- Straddle carriage that allows through loading
Questions
How do we pick the right model?
Start with the travel from the lower floor to the top landing, then the heaviest load and its footprint. Pick a model whose travel, capacity and carriage size cover all three. Each model has its own row and model number on this page.
What do we send for a quote?
The model number from the table, or the load weight and size and the heights you need. Add the power at the site and your delivery ZIP code. We confirm the model and send a written quote.
How fast does the carriage travel?
The speed depends on the model, the load and the power unit. The maker does not list it for the standard models, so ask us for the time on the model you need.
How do I get a price?
Call us or send the form. Tell us what you move, the route and your ZIP. We send a written quote with the machine, freight and build time.
How does it arrive?
Most machines go by freight truck from the factory. Parts and smaller items can go by FedEx or UPS. Freight to your ZIP is on your quote before you order. Rush and overnight shipping cost extra. We sell and ship to US addresses only.
