Control Panel & Call/Send Stations:
The main control panel is rated NEMA 12. NEMA 4 call/send stations included for each level have self-maintaining push-buttons and a mushroom-head E-Stop.
Optional “Lift Present” lights on Call/Send Stations, Key-Locked or Key-Pad secured controls and stations. Other options may be available. Please discuss your application requirements with Wildeck.
Electrical
UL-508A Labeled Control Panel. 208/230/460 VAC, 3-phase (Single-phase option available). Control voltage is 24 volts. Optional "Factory Pre-wired" call/send stations and gate interlocks is available.
Safety Guarding:
The ANSI/ASME B20.1 code requires safety gates and 8 ft. high guarding on all accessible sides of the lift. 4XLift™ gates have electrical and mechanical interlocks that prevent VRC operation if the gates are not fully closed; and gates cannot be opened if the carriage is not at the designated level.
Optional Safety Features:
- CargoLok™ Carriage Gate — securely encloses large rolling loads
- SafeLock™ system locks carriage at upper levels for added safety
- ArmorCar™ Carriage — fully-enclosed VRC carriage for additional cargo protection
- Heavy Duty Landing Level Gates — a benefit in heavy usage applications or applications prone to impacts during loading
- Over-speed secondary supplemental safety brake
Consult factory for shipment options. Wildeck VRCs typically ship on a flat-bed truck for side off-loading at site.
