Straddle style material lifts are constructed from structural steel utilizing a 100% duty-cycle brake motor mounted at the top of the unit. The low noise all-mechanical drive system safely transports the carriage and the load with ease by means of dual lifting cables. Our quality design provides a reliable means for moving material to a mezzanine or multiple floors/levels. These lifts require very little maintenance and have increased longevity over hydraulic lifts.
All cable operated lifts are equipped with broken cable brakes to prevent the carriage from falling in the unlikely event of a cable failure. Mechanical interlocks prevent doors from being opened when the carriage is not present at that level. An electric brake motor secures the carriage in the event of a power failure and prevents the platform from drifting.
The carriage is available in two load pattern configurations: “C” & “Z”. Standard units have 48”H expanded metal platform side panels on all operating sides and a snap chain across the access side(s). Higher panels are available.
Operation is controlled by a Call/Send Station mounted next to each door at each level. Each station is also equipped with a large E-Stop button to stop the unit in an emergency.
Guarding around the lift is required to meet safety codes. We offer metal enclosure panels and gates to meet your applications requirements. Different options are available for shaft installations. Safety enclosures are built into the structure adding rigidity and enhanced security. These enclosures are manufactured from 2” angle for the framing and covered with 1/2” expanded metal to reject a 2” diameter ball as required by code.
