CODE REQUIREMENTS
VRCs are NOT elevators. This lift is designed for the transfer of material only from one
level to another. Absolutely NO RIDERS! VRCs have their own national safety code
(ANSI/ASME B20.1) and are specifically exempt from the National Elevator Code.
Some states require special components and have specific guidelines regarding how
the equipment must be installed, inspected, and tested. The owner is ultimately
responsible for understanding these requirements for the specific job location, and
Autoquip will incorporate any special requirements into the order as requested and
approved by the customer.
Call Autoquip Corporation at (405) 282-5200 or 1-888-811-9876 with any questions
you may have concerning VRC code requirements.
