Material Handling Efficiency with a PFlow Series F Mezzanine Lift

Project: Customized Material Handling Solution for a Two-Level mezzanine.

Challenge:

A client sought a robust solution to efficiently move heavy machinery, oversized materials, and multiple pallets between two levels of their facility. With a vertical travel requirement of 15 feet and the need for a 15,000-lb load capacity, the client also required a safe, reliable system that could withstand high-cycle use.

Solution:

Power and Motion Industrial Sales delivered a PFlow Series F Mechanical Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) configured to meet the specific demands of the facility:

• Model: Used is a Series F, 4-post mechanical lift for enhanced stability

• Capacity: 15,000 lbs.

• Vertical Travel: 15’ 0”

• Levels Served: 2

• Speed: Approx. 18 feet per minute

• Carriage Dimensions: 11’ 0” W x 12’ 0” L x 9’ 0” H for oversized loads

• Controls: 2-level call/send system for user-friendly operation

• Powered Gates:  Powered vertical-acting gates were used for added safety and ease of use

• Enclosure: Fully compliant enclosure for added protection

Performance Highlights:

The PFlow Series F VRC proved to be the perfect fit, delivering exceptional performance in this high-demand application:

1. Heavy-Duty Reliability: Designed to handle loads of up to 15,000 lbs., the lift accommodated the client’s diverse material handling needs, from machinery to oversized materials.

2. Customizable Design: The large carriage size and 4-post configuration was specifically design to handle the customers needs.
