As the founder of the vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) industry in 1977, PFlow Industries custom engineers and manufactures VRCs for diverse applications including, but not limited to, those in the manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and retail industries. VRCs are intended for the safe and effective vertical movement of materials between multiple levels in mezzanine, balcony, through-floor, interior and exterior applications and, can lift loads from a mere 10 pounds to over 200,000 pounds.

Engineered to meet your size, space, and weight requirements, PFlow VRCs fit in tight spaces, can be installed indoors or outdoors, and can be easily integrated with mezzanines or pick modules. VRCs offer more placement options than elevators and they do not require separate machine rooms or feet of pit depth, making them space efficient. And, because of their structural support and enclosed carriage framework, PFlow VRCs keep loads from falling, creating a safer and more efficient alternative to forklifts or scissor lifts.

PFlow offers both mechanical and hydraulic VRC options. If you need a lift that is capable of continuous use and unlimited vertical rise, our mechanical lifts are your best option. For lifting load ups to 10,000 pounds, our two-post M Series, straddle or cantilever lifts are perfect for high-speed, high-cycle applications.

PFlow also designs and manufactures Cartveyor® shopping cart conveyors, which run parallel to escalators and accommodate high shopping cart traffic in multi-level retail environments.

Hydraulic Lifts Power Pages

Hydraulic Lifts

Hydraulic Lifts

A hydraulic lift is a device for moving objects using force created by pressure on a liquid inside a cylinder that moves a piston upward. Incompressible oil is pumped into the cylinder, which forces the piston upward. When a valve opens to release the oil, the piston lowers by gravitational force...

Lift Tables

Lift Tables

A lift table is a platform capable of holding materials and raising, lowering, and adjusting them to any height to meet the needs of an application and the user’s requirements. Lift tables are supported by a strong, rigid, and stable base frame placed flat on the floor, in a pit, or equipped with casters or wheels...

Scissor Lift

Scissor Lift

Scissor lifts are a type of manlift that is commonly used in construction and facility maintenance to raise employees and their tools to working heights. A power system and a control system make up the scissor lift...

Types of Hydraulic Lifts

Articulating Boom Lift

A hydraulic system is based on Pascal‘s principle of fluid pressure, which hypothesizes that a change in pressure in a fluid is transmitted to all points of the fluid in all directions. With a hydraulic lift, an electrically...

Electric Hoist

Electric Hoist

Electric hoists are material handling equipment used for lifting, lowering, and transporting materials and products. They are powered by an electric motor and have a controller to adjust the lifting parameters. They are efficient...

Gantry Cranes

A gantry crane is an overhead crane that has one or two beams supported by freestanding legs and moves on wheels, a track, or rail system carrying a bridge, trolley, and hoist. Workshops, warehouses, freight yards, railroads, and...

Wire Rope

Wire Rope

Wire rope is a collection of metal strands that have been twisted and wound to form the shape of a helix with the purpose of supporting and lifting heavy loads and performing tasks that are too rigorous for standard wire...

Overhead Cranes

Overhead Cranes

An overhead crane is a type of heavy duty machinery that is capable of moving extremely heavy loads and equipment from one location to another in a safe and precise manner using the overhead space of a manufacturing facility. Due to the nature of the work they perform...

Jib Cranes

Jib Cranes

A jib crane is a lifting device with an arm or boom that extends off the main body of the crane to provide extra reach and has a lattice design to lower the weight added to a load. The design of jib cranes allows them to work...
