WAUKESHA, WI -- Wildeck’s new V-Lift™ VRC material lift (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyer) is an economical, single-cylinder, hydraulically operated, cantilever lift that is ideal for lean manufacturing operations and green facilities where efficiency, simplicity, and productivity are primary concerns. Wildeck’s “V” reportedly stands for Value, Versatility, and Vigorous construction and can be installed either in a shaft way, or free-standing with optional structural framing.
“The V-Lift™ is an ideal solution for green building designs and crowded manufacturing facilities undergoing transformation towards lean operations,” states Hue Schlegel - Wildeck’s Director of Marketing. “The requirement today is to get more out of the space you have and become more efficient at handling finished goods on their way to the consumer. With the high value and low cost that Wildeck has built into this lift, we believe it will quickly become the VRC of choice for facility designers, architects, contractors, and plant managers.”
Wildeck’s V-Lift™ is designed to meet ANSI/ASME B20.1 “Safety Standard for Conveyors.” It incorporates industry-leading technology and attractive features such as guide columns constructed of 6-inch wide-flange structural steel, and a state-of-the art hydraulic ram with large 2-1/2 inch diameter dual pistons that deliver a smoother, more positive lifting motion than competitive designs.
The V-Lift’s robust single-cylinder hydraulic system prevents twisting during operation and eliminates all moving hoses, cables, and chains. According to Wildeck, fewer components means easier installation, reduced maintenance, and longer service life.
The standard V-Lift™ carriage dimension is 6 ft. x 6 ft. with a lifting capacity up to 3,000 lbs. Material can be safely loaded or unloaded in a “C,” “Z,” or 90-degree pattern allowing for maximum installation flexibility. Models are offered for servicing heights up to 14 ft. Safety interlocks prevent the VRC from moving unless the gates are fully closed and the gates are designed to open only when the carriage is at a designated level. Additional safety features include mechanical stops that ensure positive leveling with the upper deck; redundant overload protection that prevents the carriage from lifting if loaded to more than 120% of its rated capacity; and velocity fuses that safely control VRC descent.
