Matot Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) by Savaria
The cost-effective material handling solution
For commercial and light industrial applications, our VRCs make short work of even the heaviest loads, up to 2500 lb. Designed for a service life of 25 years or more with minimal maintenance—even in harsh environments and under continuous operation.
Why choose a Matot VRC?
Rugged reliability, day in and day outMatot VRCs by Savaria help you transport heavy loads to mezzanines, basements, balconies, or between floors of a multi-story building—all while taking up minimal floor space. All levels of a plant, warehouse or commercial building can be utilized for increased production and storage. Our VRCs can also interface with other material handling systems to maximize productivity and efficiency in the facility.
Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) fall under ASME B20.1 Safety Standard for Conveyors, with fewer restrictions on size limits or capacity, particularly for industrial applications that do not pierce fire-rated floors.
High capacity, high versatility
Offering capacities up 2500 lb (340-1134 kg), there are multiple car sizes available, up to 60" x 96" (1524mm x 2438 mm), in floor-loading or optional counter-loading models. Available in two opening configurations: single side, opposite sides/straight-through.

This facility boasts three Matot vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) to keep materials moving. Our VRC units can travel up to 270 feet and make up to nine stops.
The Matot vertical reciprocating conveyor at Luisaviaroma NYC allows the luxury retailer to make the best use of expensive street-level space by keeping the stockroom below grade.
For commercial applications, a vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) is usually contained within a fire-rated shaft with fire-rated hoistway entrances.
Placement within the building footprint is an important consideration when specifying a VRC, as they cannot be accessible to the general public under ASME B20.1 Safety Standard for Conveyors.
Vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) make moving wheeled carts between multiple levels easy and effective.
VRCs take up minimal space while transporting heavy loads to mezzanines, basements, balconies, or between floors of a multi-story building.
Matot vertical reciprocating conveyor units feature commercial-grade construction, including UL listed door locks and microprocessor control systems, architectural-grade stainless steel and elevator-type precision guide rails.
Our heavy-duty Matot vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) provide up to 25 years of service with minimal maintenance, then can be modernized for more years of performance.
