Truck Leveler

Safety

• Pit/Shallow Pit Mounted Truck Levelers – Solid steel side skirts protect openings and pinch points.
• Pit/Shallow Pit Mounted Truck Levelers – Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop lifts in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent due to sudden hose rupture.
• Pit, Shallow Pit, and Surface Mounted Truck Levelers –Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound in the industry.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Load jam sensors suspend engine operation if the carriage or its load becomes jammed between landings.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Motor control panel security requires personnel to activate a secure key switch before resuming lift operation following a load jam.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Over-travel sensing switch suspends engine operation should the lift continue past the uppermost landing.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Sensors on all lifting chains stop lift operation and movement if a slack chain is detected.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Counterweight sensors serve as a back-up safety precaution to slack chain sensors by suspending engine operation when a counterweight is lifted out of the guide tube.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Certified carriage brakes stop carriage falls in the very unlikely event of a sudden breakage of both lifting cables.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Standard-issue shaft way barrier bar system improves personnel safety when carriage leaves the upper landing.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – 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.
• Surface Mounted Truck Levelers – Gate status switches prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
• Low Profile Truck Levelers – Provides a slip-resistant surface.
• Low Profile Truck Levelers – Platform constructed of 4-way tread plate.
