Freight Elevators

These are vertical reciprocating conveyors, not passenger elevators. The distinction matters: VRCs move material only, never people, which puts them under a different and considerably less demanding code path than a passenger or freight elevator. That usually means lower cost and a shorter installation. Mechanical units use a chain-driven carriage and suit high cycle counts. Hydraulic units handle heavier capacities. Two-post configurations suit smaller footprints, while four-post handles wider or unbalanced loads. Whether you require vertical lift installation or service, Timbers-Kovar is here to help!
