RiderLift increases material handling efficiency and meets ASME "Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators"

Part of the new “RML” product category, RiderLift hydraulically-operated rideable material lift offers a major advancement over a traditional “VRC” (vertical reciprocating conveyor) by allowing authorized personnel to safely travel with their material between levels.

 

Standard car size for the system is 72 x 72 ft. x 80-in., and offers a lifting capacity is 2,500 lbs., including rider. Standard top lifting height is 14 ft (GND + 1) and lifting speed is 20 fpm.

 

The RiderLift material lift is available in either “C” or “Z” loading patterns and features a keyed “enable” switch inside the car to ensure use only by authorized personnel. The RiderLift RML meets ASME A17.1 / CSA B44 code requirements. Qualified Elevator Contractors will install and service the lift and provide the end user with ongoing State-approved safety inspections and lift Certification, as required by the A17.1 code.
