System Features Include:

Lifting Capacity:

• Up to 3,000 lbs.

Lifting Speed:

• Standard travel speed is 17 fpm.

Loading Configurations:

•  “C”, “Z” and 90°

Top Lifting Height:

• 14’

Levels:

• Access lower level and (1) stop above ground.

Clear Height Requirements:

• 7 ft. (84”) Clearance above upper level for VRC travel up to 10 ft.
• 9 ft. (108”) Clearance for travel heights between 10 ft. and 14 ft.

Hydraulic Lifting System:

• A single cylinder hydraulic system with dual 2 ½” pistons lifts and lowers the carriage
• The state of the art cylinder design prevents twisting during operation and eliminates moving hoses, cables, chains, and bearings
• A pressure compensated control valve regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid and insures smooth, steady, and safe lowering speeds

Lift Structure:

• Guide columns are 6” wide flanged structural steel
• Optional freestanding structural framing available

Operation & Controls

• Standard SmartControl™ with AutoSenz® VRC Overload Detection System
• Protects your product and the lift if a jam occurs
• Accurate and robust solid-state pressure transducer
• System diagnostics with audible signals to alert the operator of common fault conditions
• Recorded and time stamped fault history

Electrical

• 3 Phase 208/230/460 VAC, (Single-phase option available)
• Control voltage is 24 VAC
• Remote mounted NEMA 12 control panel and hydraulic pump motor are pre-wired prior to shipment.
• Optional “quick-connect” wiring for VRC push-buttons and gate interlocks are available.

Call Stations

• The main control panel is rated NEMA 12.
• NEMA 4 call/send stations are included for each level; each has self maintaining pushbuttons and a mushroom head E-Stop

Carriage Specifications:

• Standard dimension is 6 ft. x 6 ft. cantilevered design
• Equipped with 42” high safety rails on non-operating sides
• Equipped with safety chains on operating end(s).

Carriage Options

• Galvanized diamond-plate side guards
• Diagonal load bars on operating end(s)
• Swing gate with latch and status switch
• Extended height side guard
• Roof panels

Safety Features: 

• Mechanical stop ensures positive leveling with the upper deck
• Overload protection prevents the carriage from lifting if the unit is loaded to more than 120% of rated capacity
• Decent safety is controlled via velocity fuses
• Safety signage must be clearly displayed including: “NO RIDERS.”

Safety Guarding: 

• The ANSI/ASME B20.1 code requires safety gates and 8 ft. high guarding on all accessible sides of the lift.
• V-Lift™ gates have electrical and mechanical interlocks and can only be opened during VRC loading or unloading.
• Interlocks prevent the VRC from moving unless the gates are fully closed and they cannot be opened if the carriage is not at the designated level

Paint Finish:

• Standard color is Wildeck Gray.
• Optional colors available.
• Purchased components are painted per vendor standards.
• Prior to painting, fabricated materials are prepared using a 100% phosphate-free paint pre-treatment process incorporating a non-toxic biodegradable alkaline powder that virtually eliminates the introduction of VOCs into the atmosphere
