Enhance your mezzanine operations with our 2-post cantilevered mechanical freight lift.
It is optimized for speed and efficiency with no overhead restrictions. This cutting-edge freight lift is specifically engineered for applications requiring precise, repeatable stopping and holding of the suspended carriage during loading and unloading. The innovative design features a cantilevered carriage off the guide beams, allowing seamless integration into most facilities without overhead constraints.
Our standard models offer capacities from 1,000 to 6,000 pounds and travel distances of up to 144 inches. However, we understand that every facility has unique requirements. That’s why we provide custom engineering solutions to design mechanical freight lifts capable of traveling up to 100 feet. Whether you need a standard model or a custom-built solution, our freight lifts ensure reliable performance and enhanced operational efficiency.

Maintenance and Warranty
- Heavy-duty gear motor requires minimal service and maintenance.
- Maintenance-free carriage rollers require no lubrication.
- The gear motor’s manual brake release overrides the handle to aid in lift start-up and troubleshooting.
- Autoquip offers a 1-year warranty on all parts and a 5-year warranty on the lift structure, ensuring you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable VRC.
COMPLIANCE WITH RECOGNIZED STANDARDS:
Durability and Quality
- High-capacity steel rollers with spiral-wound, Teflon-impregnated bushings produce smooth and reliable carriage movement.
- Heavy-duty gear motor drive extends the life of the freight lift for years of rugged, reliable service.
- A synchronized, dual-chain lifting system ensures the carriage remains level throughout vertical travel, even with off-centered loads.
- Minimum ¼ inch thick steel reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, maximizes load stability, and extends the platform deck’s life.
- Structural steel guide beams ensure consistent, reliable tracking of carriage rollers and extend the beams’ life.
Simplicity
- Synchronized lifting chains allow for wider carriage widths.
- Mechanical design enables up to 100 feet of total vertical travel.
- Mechanical vertical conveyors are programmable and can be called or sent to multiple levels in a building or conveyor system.
- The carriage requires no overhead structure and enables an unlimited load height.
- Cantilevered design permits three-way carriage loading.
Safety
- Load jam sensors suspend engine operation if the carriage or its load becomes jammed between landings.
- Motor control panel security requires personnel to activate a secure key switch before resuming lift operation following a load jam.
- The over-travel sensing switch suspends engine operation if the lift continues past the uppermost landing.
- Sensors on all lifting chains stop lift operation and movement if a slack chain is detected.
- Counterweight sensors serve as a backup safety precaution to slack chain sensors by suspending engine operation when a counterweight is lifted from the guide tube.
- Certified carriage brakes stop carriage falls in the unlikely event of a sudden breakage of both lifting cables.
- The standard-issue shaft way barrier bar system improves personnel safety when the carriage leaves the upper landing.
- Interlocked landing gates automatically lock once the vertical lift carriage leaves a landing and cannot be opened until it returns to that landing.
- Gate status switches prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
- The minimum 3:1 structural safety factor makes these lifts the most structurally sound in the industry.
