Hydraulic Straddle VRC

• Automatic re-pressurization of the hydraulic system keeps the carriage level with the upper landing, which is critical when the lift is idle for long periods of time.
• Certified carriage brakes stop carriage falls in the very unlikely event of a sudden breakage of both lifting cables.
• Physical stops at the upper landing prevent the carriage from moving during loading and unloading of the lift.
• Standard-issue shaft way barrier bar system improves personnel safety when carriage leaves the upper landing.
• Interlocked landing gates automatically lock once the vertical lift carriage leaves a landing and cannot be opened until the lift carriage returns to that landing.
• Gate status switches prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
• Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop lifts in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent due to sudden hose rupture.
• Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound in the industry.
• Compliance with recognized standards:
  • ASME B20.1 – Safety Requirements for Conveyors and Related Equipment
  • VRC Application Guidelines – as referenced by ASME B20.
  • NFPA 70 – National Electric Code
  • ASTM-A36 – Structural Steel Standard
  • ANSI Z535 – Safety Labeling Requirements
  • AWS D.1 – Welding Standards
  • Applicable portions of OSHA 29CFR1910 – General Workplace Safety

Maintenance and Warranty

• Industry-best 4:1 cable reeving system minimizes stresses in the lifting cables to improve the safety, dependability, and useful life of the cables.
• Sturdy, semi-transparent polyurethane oil reservoir provides an easily visible method of checking fluid levels and eliminates oil contamination due to rust.
• Straddle design places much lower stress on the guide rollers, extending useful life.
• Double wire braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
• Maintenance-free carriage rollers require no lubrication.
• 10-inch to 12-inch diameter sheaves promote longer cable life and feature a large bend radius.
• Autoquip offers a 1-year warranty on all parts and a 5-year warranty on lift structure as a promise that you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable VRC.
