PFlow Industries: D Series Hydraulic Vertical Lift For Commercial Buildings
February 6, 2025
PFlow Industries highlights the D Series Hydraulic Vertical Lift, a robust solution for material handling challenges.
Designed to handle loads up to 3,000 pounds with ease, the D Series is ideal for commercial building applications. Its space saving design and ease of use make it perfect for commercial spaces and industries that need to move supplies, records, and other goods.
The D Series excels in moving pallets, boxes, and other materials vertically up to 15 feet, making it the perfect choice for safely and efficiently accessing mezzanines, balconies, or elevated storage areas. With a load capacity of up to 3,000 lbs and carriage sizes as large as 6 feet wide by 6 feet long, the lift can transport even the bulkiest items effortlessly. Operating at speeds of up to 25 feet per minute, it accommodates up to 10 cycles per hour and 100 cycles daily, facilitating productivity and minimizing facility downtime.
The hydraulic actuation mechanism ensures smooth and stable lifting operations, supported by advanced safety features like mechanical stops, pressure switches, velocity fuses, and check valves. These safeguards protect operators and materials while conforming to ASME B20.1 safety standards.
The D Series also boasts a low-maintenance, durable design. Its innovative Dual-Pak system eliminates components like cables, chains, and bearings that are prone to wear and require frequent lubrication. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cylinder guides prevent twisting during operation, further enhancing cylinder life. The Dual-Pak cylinder configuration eliminates the need for a 5-foot pit, unlike hydraulic freight elevators. With cylinders mounted between the guide columns on the carriage back frame, it saves valuable space and simplifies installation.
A pressure-compensated control valve regulates the flow of hydraulic oil, ensuring a consistent lowering speed under any load. For outdoor or wash-down environments, optional finishes like hot-dipped galvanized or epoxy coatings offer long-term corrosion resistance and durability.
This lift is well-suited across a range of industry applications. In manufacturing, the D Series integrates seamlessly into production lines, moving raw materials, components, or finished products between levels to improve workflow efficiency. Automotive dealerships benefit from its ability to transport parts and tools between floors while saving valuable space. For retail and commercial applications, the lift optimizes storage by granting access to otherwise unreachable areas, enabling better organization and utilization of backroom or storage spaces.
Combining robust engineering with advanced safety features and a compact, efficient design, the D Series delivers exceptional performance for indoor and outdoor use. Like all PFlow VRCs, the D Series is customizable for each end user’s specific application, making it adaptable to any operational requirement, and its lifetime structural warranty reflects PFlow Industries’ commitment to long-term reliability.
