Safety/Guarding Features

Guarding

• ANSI/ASME B20.1 code requires safety gates and 8' high guarding on all accessible sides of the lift
• Landing gates have electrical and mechanical interlocks that prevent VRC operation if the gates are not fully closed; gates cannot be opened if the carriage is not at the designated level

Carriage Safety Options:

Wildeck VRC's have a standard carriage freefall device. Optional safety carriage locking devices are available to prevent the accidental descent of a raised carriage. When the VRC arrives at an upper level stop, the system locks the carriage enclosure either through automatic (SafeLock™) or manual (DeckStop™) means. 

• SafeLock™: Automatic; failsafe, the carriage locks automatically when arriving at the
  designated level.
• DeckStop™: Manual; simple, and reliable. Locking arms provide a highly visible barrier at the loading area.

Additional Safety Options Include:

• CargoLok™ Carriage Gate— Encloses and secures large rolling loads
• ArmorCar™ Carriage — A fully-enclosed VRC carriage for additional freight safeguarding
  Heavy Duty Landing Level Gates – Used for heavy duty applications or applications prone to impact during load
