RiderLift™ Rideable Material Lift (RML)
The time has come to stop climbing stairs to catch up with your cargo on a VRC. Wildeck now has your solution.
Welcome to the new and very affordable RiderLift™ RML (Rideable Material Lift) that allows authorized personnel to safely travel between levels with their material at a fraction of the cost of an elevator installation. Wildeck is one of the first material handling equipment manufacturers in the U.S. to offer a Type B Rideable Material Lift.
The new RiderLift™ RML can offer many valuable benefits for your operation:
- Increased material handling efficiency
- Saves time and increases security by having workers ride with their material
- Improves safety and reduces lost time accidents
(no carrying boxes up-or-down stairs) - Enhances the utilization of your facility capacity
- More affordable and easier to install than a passenger or freight elevator
The RiderLift™ RML is NOT a VRC (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor). It introduces an entirely new “RML” (Rideable Material Lift) product category to the material handling industry. VRCs are regulated by the ASME B20.1 Safety Standard for Conveyors and they do not permit riders. Wildeck’s new RiderLift™ RML Type B Material Lift is regulated under the ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators and allows one rider to accompany their material to the next level. However, it is not a public elevator and can only be operated by authorized personnel.
Wildeck’s RiderLift™ RML-2500 is the ideal solution to better utilize the capacity gained in your facility from mezzanines, rack systems, pick modules, and double-deck modular offices.

Featured RML: DriverLift™
Allows auto dealerships, motorsports facilities, classic car storage facilities, private garages, showrooms, and convention facilities to safely and conveniently transfer vehicles between floor levels.
The affordable DriverLift™ is a rideable vehicle lift from Wildeck that has been designed for safe and efficient transfer of vehicles between levels. No more climbing stairs to catch up with your car on a material-only lift. The DriverLift allows authorized personnel to travel with their vehicle on the carriage, instead of relying on someone else to off-load the car.
