Why Not Just Install an Elevator?

The cost difference between installing an elevator and installing a VRC lift is substantial. VRC lifts cost a fraction of what elevators do. 

The reason for this is that VRC lifts are designed to move materials, not passengers.

Because they don’t carry passengers, VRC lifts generally don’t need to meet the more stringent national elevator codes. This means that both the initial price and the maintenance costs of a VRC lift will be lower than that of an elevator, though they are just as effective at moving goods from one floor level to another.

Is There a Code of Safety Standards for VRC Lifts?

Yes. Every VRC lift sold by Martin Vertical Storage meets or exceeds the nationally recognized safety standards that govern conveyors as detailed in ANSI/ASME B20.1. Proper installation by lift professionals is required, however, for a VRC lift to meet this standard.

Consider the safety benefits to using a VRC lift to move materials from one floor level to another over the alternatives:

• Safer than using forklifts: A VRC lift is safer to use than a forklift, which means that there is a lower likelihood of workplace accidents.
• Fewer workplace injuries: VRC lifts also keep your workers from having to manually move goods from one floor to another. This reduces the potential for injuries and workplace compensation claims. 

Overall, VRC lifts require less manpower than other methods of relocating goods from one floor to another. This means that productivity and efficiency are more likely to go up in a facility that uses a VRC lift.

What Types of Businesses Would Benefit from Installing a VRC Lift?

A host of different businesses could benefit from the installation of a VRC lift. The list includes warehouses and distribution centers, automotive dealerships and parts inventories, factories, retail stores and wholesalers, and restaurants and hotels, to name just a few.

Schools, libraries, and other public institutions will also see gains from the safety and efficiency that VRC lifts bring.

Practically any facility that needs to transport materials vertically can utilize a VRC lift. If you're wondering how a VRC lift could work for you, consult Martin Vertical Storage.
