The PFlow Industries booth will be staffed by a team of PFlow’s VRC experts, including Dan Hext, Khrystyna Cusimano, and Fred Volkman, who are eager to share the company's latest advancements and answer attendee questions.

VRCs are essential for the safe and efficient transport of materials between floor levels regardless of the material size, shape, or weight. PFlow's mechanical VRCs are engineered to manage heavy loads, making them perfect for high-speed, high-cycle, and automated systems. They are renowned for their smooth operation, ensuring the safe transport of delicate or fragile items. With customizable options including cantilever, straddle, and 4-post designs, they provide virtually unlimited lifting capacity and configuration possibilities to meet specific application needs. Hydraulic VRCs, another key offering from PFlow, provide cost-effective solutions for two-level lifting. Engineered for stable and controlled carriage movement, these VRCs are perfect for applications requiring limited lifting cycles per hour. Hydraulic VRCs are available in straddle and cantilever configurations and feature enhanced safety mechanisms such as velocity fuses and check valves to prevent uncontrolled carriage descent.
PFlow's commitment to innovation is demonstrated by its extensive in-house engineering and technical support teams and a dedicated R&D program focused on safety. The company offers optional safety features, including the DeckLock Safety System, maintenance pins, explosion-proof components, and a variety of safety gates tailored to meet specific customer needs.
