All VRC lifts go up and down, but what you do not know and cannot see may change your opinion on what you buy. There are other brands, cheaper and lower quality lifts available. Some of these may require frequent replacement of parts or more maintenance down the road. These lifts will not provide you the cost efficiencies you will need to make a profit from your investment. Given the method in which our lifts have been professionally designed, manufactured, delivered and installed, our customers can rest assured that the AJAY Storage Lifts they purchase will be cost effective and fully constructed from start to finish for superior overall reliability for many years to come.
Many other VRC lift companies ship their units completely unassembled. This leaves the entire assembly at the mercy of jobsite personnel...and we've all seen what those shovels that stand up on their own right? Without knowing how much experience they may or may not have, they will have to attempt to meet all of the manufacture's critical assembly tolerances on site in order to provide a quality built lift.
AJAY Equipment takes pride in the fact that we ship our lifts factory-built made in the USA from expensive and precise tooling fixtures. Each VRC storage lift is then meticulously tested to make sure all of the manufacturer’s critical design tolerances have been met prior to shipment.
Other types of VRC lifts have a “ladder frame” or “I-beam post” design. This design is structurally less stable and requires structural building for support.
AJAY Storage Lifts are free-standing. The exclusive truss mast design gives the lift the ability to be stand free without relying on structural building support.
The installation company is required to add structural members which must be attached to your building walls. This will require your architect to design an additional support structure, adding material and labor cost for your contractor to build your typical metal or wood frame storage building.
We fasten the upper mast to an existing wall for stability purposes only (not structural support).
Some VRC Lifts have a height limiting six to seven foot overhead support bar assembled across the top of the platform or a height limiting car height of only 7 feet. This, in most cases, makes it difficult to load tall items onto the platform, like refrigerators or a couch.
Fortunately, AJAY Storage Lifts have fully enclosed cars that are between 8 to 10 feet tall which allow an abundance of room for long or tall objects with no limiting overhead support bars.
Some lift manufacturers also require a "penthouse" or raised roof section to be installed above the lift for servicing and maintenance access.
AJAY lifts are specifically designed in a way to fit inside a standard two or three story building with no necessary major structural modifications to the building.
Various VRC lift manufacturers designed their lifting drive motors, cables and pulleys to be mounted on top of the unit. This makes maintenance and repairs complicated and much more expensive!
AJAY Storage Lifts don’t have any of these inconveniences as our power units are mounted on the floor.
Many of our competitor lifts use two double acting hydraulic cylinders which are pressurized in both directions. This bi-directional cylinder design uses the motor to both raise and lower the platform. Not only does our competitor’s design put extra wear on the motor and cylinder parts, but it also requires many more parts to run two bi-directional cylinders.
AJAY VRC lifts are only pressurized in one direction which means our motor raises the platform and then uses gravity to lower it. Essentially, our cylinder design puts half the amount of wear on the motor compared to many of our competitors.
With our competitors, each cylinder has 2 packing kits which amounts to 4 total packing kits per lift. Consequently, these extra wear parts will prove to be costly in the long run when additional maintenance is required.
Our cylinder makes use of a single stationary packing kit which is of higher quality and meant to last. This distinctive design reduces the overall cost of maintaining the lift for many years to come.
Some Brand X lifts may even require special concrete pier type footings.
We level the outriggers and anchor them to an existing concrete slab using wedge anchors.
Just a mess, self explanatory.
Our crews pay special attention to detail throughout each installation whereas other brands may not.
Not only does the location of the motors and cables make these lifts difficult to repair, but over time, the cables that are utilized in these lifts will stretch, fray and need regular wear adjustments (hence all of the cable clamps). This design utilizing cables and pulleys invokes an irregular stretch of the cable, ultimately causing it to fray or even break under many circumstances.
Our Storage Lifts use heavy duty roller chains which only need minimal if any maintenance at all. Unlike a cable system, these chains are extremely durable and practically never need replacement.
