Wildeck, Inc., based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, says increasing demand for more efficient material handling solutions lead them to push into the highly competitive Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor market.
Wildeck’s next-generation design combines high-value features and low cost, which attracts the attention of contractors, architects and facility designers.
The company’s new “V-Lift” is a hydraulically operated, cantilever material lift. Wildeck says the “V” stands for Value, Versatility, and Vigorous construction. The unit can be installed in a shaftway, or free-standing with additional optional structural framing.
“The V-Lift(TM) is an ideal solution for ‘green’ building designs and crowded manufacturing facilities undergoing transformation towards ‘lean’ operations. The preference today is to get more out of the space you have and become more efficient at handling finished goods on their way to the consumer. With the high value and low cost that Wildeck has built into this lift, we believe it will quickly become the VRC of choice for facility designers, architects, and contractors nationwide.”

The V-Lift meets the ANSI/ASME B20.1 safety standard for conveyors.
Wildeck says it incorporates industry-leading technology, including 6-inch wide-flange structural steel guide columns, and a state-of-the art hydraulic ram with large 2-1/2 inch diameter dual pistons. The hydraulics deliver a smoother, more positive lifting motion than competitive designs was well as preventing twisting during operation. Safety and durability are increased due to the elimination of moving hoses, cables, and chains, resulting in easier installation, reduced maintenance, and longer service life.
The standard V-Lift has a 6 ft. x 6 ft. carriage that can lift up to 3,000 lbs. Flexible loading patterns include “C,” “Z,” or 90-degree. Taller models can reach up to 14 ft. prevent the VRC from moving unless the gates are fully closed and the gates are designed to open only when the carriage is at a designated level.
Safety features include safety interlocks, mechanical stops, redundant overload protection and velocity fuses.
