Sadler Pallet VRC Specifications

(Top)

• Rates: Rates are increased/decreased by varying speed and HP or number of loads on the lift bed - usually one. Minimum limit is 15 FPM (arbitrary) and maximum limit is 60 FPM. Excludes time for conveyor doors.
• Conveyor Safety Doors: Safety doors are always used.
• Feed conveyors: Feed conveyors feed and discharge loads to the VRC automatically.

VRC is considered a vertical conveyor in most jurisdictions, avoiding the much more restrictive elevator codes.
