Power Unit Options

Pre-Wired Power Unit

Optional on pit mounted models due to installation considerations, but standard on all portable and top of ground models.

 

Power Unit Covers

Power unit covers are used for weather protection when other shelter is unavailable.

Quick Disconnect

The push button control can be plugged into a receptacle box on the lift. Other variations are available.

Flashing Light & Audio Alarm

These devices are available as individual items or in combination.
 

Patented Electric Toe Guards

These stop the downward travel of a platform when an object makes contact with the electric toe guard. Simply pushing the "UP" button on the control station raises the platform so the object can be removed and the system

Limit Switch

This adjustable limit switch stops the lift's upward travel at a preset level. To avoid electric lines in the pit, it should only be used where the platform must stop at the same elevation every time.

Oil Immersion Heater

These devices are popular in colder climates to keep the fluid in the reservoir at a warm temperature. They require a 110-volt line and simply screw in the coupling at the bottom of the reservoir.

  

 

 

Handrail, Gate, Bridge, Ramp and Paint Options

 

Handrails, Gates & Pipe Stanchions

All dock lifts are equipped withhandrails along their long sides and safety chains across the ends as standard. However, some applications require gates, pipe stanchions to clip chains to and otherspecial handrail configurations. Let us know your needs.

 

 

Approach Ramps

These are standard on "top of ground" units but they are also available for pit mounted units that are not being mounted in pits. There are two types available.

 

Aluminum Bridges & Split Bridges

These options are used to reduce the lifting weight of bridges.

Slip Reducing Decks

Plate manufacturers produce raised pattern plates for better traction which is standard on all dock lifts and an option on all otherlifts. We can also embed silica sand in our enamel paint finish on smooth plates,which provides better traction than the embossed plates, but does not hold up to wear as well.

 

Night Locks

Night locks are located on the four platform corners. They swivel 360 degrees so they can be positioned over the edge of a concrete dock to mechanically lock the lift in a raised position for security purposes. They are not load supporting devices and are ordered in lieu of hand rails, which are not required in a raisedconcrete loading dock application.

 

Automatic Bridge Activators

 

To avoid potential injuries, the bridge activator eliminates repeated handling of the hinged bridge. Simply adjust the height of the activator to 3" below the truck bed and lean the bridge against the activator. As the lift raises or lowers, the bridge cams over the activator bar onto or off of the truck bed.

Wheel Chock

Wheel chocks are designed to automatically create a barrier for wheels whenever the unit is raised from a fully lowered position.

 

Paint Colors

Eight standard colors available at no extra charge.

Bi-Parting Gates

Our parting gates are available in standard widths of 6', 7'or 8'. See chart for exact dimensions. The gates are held in the upright postiion by gas air springs. Electrical interlocks are optional.

1. Bi-parting gate for 6ft. side with 52" clear width.

2. Bi-parting gate for 7ft. side with 64" clear width.

3. Bi-parting gate for 8ft. side with 76" clear width.

 

 

Hydraulic Bridge Activator

This option requires no additional electrical lines to the base frame. The control is a seperate push button that can be moved to a convenient point on the platform. The cylinder actuator is either mounted under the platform for units with at least 8" lowered heights or on the side of the platform for lower units. Platform working space is never compromised. Truck bed deflection is automatically compensated for in the fully deployed position with a bridge float hydraulic circuit. Solid steel bridges up to 48" long can be used with this option.
