| New Pflow vertical lift  Series 21 Vertical Lift by Pflow Industries offers efficient, vertical material handling and is equipped with patented safety features not available on other vertical lifts. The unit transports materials between two levels and is adaptable to mezzanine, through-floor, interior or exterior applications. Series 21 Vertical Lift is designed for loads up to 6,000 lbs. and available with carriage sizes to 10' x 10'. The carriage - available in straddle or cantilever styles - is hydraulically lifted and lowered from level to level. The Series 21 lift features 6" wide flange guide columns and oversized bearings and heavy roller chain that ensure long-lasting performance.Series 21 Vertical Lift is equipped a heavy torsion bar that links the two hydraulic lift cylinders to equalize the load, eliminate twisting of the carriage and relieve stress on the guides, columns and carriage. As a result, the carriage remains level at all times for smooth, efficient operation. Dual, spring-loaded safety cams provide added protection against uncontrolled descent. The Series 21 Lift can also be equipped with Pflow's exclusive patented DeckLock system that automatically locks the carriage into place at the critical upper levels and eliminates carriage bounce or drift. Series 21 also features a variety of standard safety features that meet or exceed code requirements. These features including 8' high mesh enclosures, safety gates at each level, safety chains and railings, overtravel protection, backstop panels and remote, heavy-duty control stations. All safety gates are electrically and mechanically interlocked with carriage movement and lift operation. Velocity fuses prevent uncontrolled carriage descent in the unlikely event of a total hydraulic hose rupture. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
