Symmetry VRC
Convenient and safe
Cibes Symmetry offers a variety of Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) from 750 pound capacity up to 1,000 pound capacity and more to assist with your material handling needs. You can use these lifts to transport light materials, such as boxes. It is important to note that these lifts are not intended to transport passengers or riders.
Custom design
Individually engineered to meet your requirements
Safety options
This lift is equipped with several safety options to make its use completely safe.
Solution for your situation
Cibes Symmetry offers two models, each with specific advantages.
Symmetry VRC Enclosed
The Symmetry VRC Enclosed is a variant of the Vertical Platform Lift (VPL) that has been specifically designed without certain features required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This elevator is primarily used for moving light materials, such as boxes, carts, and similar items. It finds applications in various industries, including marijuana greenhouses, dispensaries, and bakeries.
Symmetry VRC Shaftway
This elevator is specialized elevator systems designed to streamline the movement of various items, such as boxes, carts, and other hard-to-lift objects, between different floors or levels within a building. These conveyors provide a convenient and efficient alternative to manual lifting, making the transportation process more manageable and less physically demanding.
Requirements
Symmetry Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRC) are designed and built to meet or exceed the requirements of ASME B20.1, Safety Standard for Conveyors and Related Equipment.
Symmetry VRC Enclosed
• Up to three stops • Up to 1,000 lbs
Symmetry VRC Shaftway
• Up to three stops • Up to 1,000 lbs
Modular design
The pre-engineered components can be quickly assembled, reducing any disruptions to the building and its occupants during installation. Overall, the modular design and absence of on-site welding make this lift user-friendly and efficient to install. It also saves in costs by not requiring major building customizations.
Custom design
This lift can be customized to accommodate the specific requirements of different buildings or venues. It can be designed to fit the available space, including adjusting the size, capacity, and interior finishes to match the aesthetic preferences of the establishment. Contact your local dealer to discuss the possibilities.
Only for goods and materials
Symmetry VRCs are purpose-built to ensure the smooth and secure movement of goods and materials between floors within a building. It’s important to note that they are not designed or authorized for carrying passengers. With strict adherence to safety standards, restricted access, clearly visible signage, and adherence to legal regulations, these lifts are meant exclusively for non-passenger purposes.
Safe option
These lifts provide enhanced safety benefits compared to forklift trucks and manual labor for moving materials between levels. They minimize the risk of accidents and injuries, offering a safer solution. Moreover, VRCs are more cost-effective to operate and maintain than elevators, resulting in savings. With their space efficiency and versatility, VRCs are a reliable choice for efficient material handling across different industries and applications.
