Material handling lifts
Our material handling lifts offer you an efficient and affordable solution for transporting heavy goods between floors in your commercial building. Material handling lifts, a.k.a. freight lifts, industrial lifts, conveyor lifts, or mezzanine lifts, will ease logistics and improve your workflow. Specifically designed to transport heavy goods and merchandise, material handling lifts also make the work environment safer for your employees.
Conveyor lifts to improve your workflow
Material handling lifts are also called Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRC) because they convey goods, materials and other heavy items between floors by the simple push of a button. This is a much safer way of handling goods for your employees than carrying it by hand. It also saves a lot of time for your staff, which results in a better workflow. Material handling lifts are ideal for industrial buildings, warehouses and retail stores but also for establishments such as funeral homes.
Discover our range of conveyor lifts
We offer conveyor lifts for materials and goods in 3 different models to match the specific needs of your commercial building:
