Series F Specifications
GENERAL
Pflow Series F Vertical Lifts move materials between two or
more levels. Series F lifts feature four-corner support for heavy-duty, vertical material
handling jobs. Principal components are guide columns, carriage and a mechanical actuating
mechanism.
APPLICATION DATA
Please specify your application requirements:
Lifting Capacity:_____lbs.
Carriage Size:______"W x ______"L x _______"H
Vertical Rise:_____' ______"
NOTE: Series F Vertical Lifts are
available with: Lifting capacities to 30,000 Ibs; Carriage sizes as required; Vertical
rise to 200'. Standard travel speed is 20 fpm. Travel speeds up to 400 fpm are available
on special order.
STRUCTURE
Guide columns are 6" wide flange. Carriage is
fabricated of 6" or 8" structural members with deck plate. Other deck surfaces
can be supplied.
OPERATION
Series F Vertical Lifts can be loaded/unloaded from all
four sides. Carriage is lifted and lowered by roller chain attached to an electric
motor-reducer assembly mounted on the guide columns. Power units employ 7-1/2 HP to 50 HP
TEFC brake motors. Special sensing and guidance systems monitor lift chains.
ELECTRICAL
Standard power requirements are 208V/ 230V/460V, 3-phase.
Control voltage is 110V. Control stations and remote mounted control panel are NEMA 12.
Control stations, provided for each level, include self-maintaining, push buttons with
mushroom-head E-Stop button.
SAFETY FEATURES
Upward and downward travel of the carriage is limited by a
limit switch. When the switch is tripped, the motor shuts off and the brake is engaged.
Overload protection is provided by a relay that measures the motor current. If the current
exceeds the amount required to move the maximum load, it will shut the unit down and
engage the brake. Safety cams, mounted on each guide column, prevent uncontrolled descent
in case both chains break. Chain tensioners and guides prevent chains from jumping on
sprockets. NO RIDER signs are posted at each point of operation. Optional DeckLocks
available.
CARRIAGE & SAFETY ENCLOSURES
Carriage is equipped with safety rails on nonoperating ends
and safety chains or diagonal drop bars on operating ends. Optional expanded metal or
sheet metal carriage enclosures are available. Mandatory safety enclosures provide
guarding on all sides of the lift. Enclosures are a minimum of 8' high consisting of
material which will reject a ball 3/4" in diameter. Gates are provided for access
during loading and unloading. Gates are electrically and mechanically interlocked with
carriage movement. Interlock prevents a gate from being opened unless the carriage is at
the designated level. Interlock also prevents carriage movement if any gate is not fully
closed and locked.
Series M Specifications
GENERAL
Pflow Series M Vertical Lifts move materials
between two or more levels. Principal components are guide columns, carriage and a
mechanical actuating mechanism.
APPLICATION DATA
Please specify your application requirements:
Lifting Capacity:_____lbs.
Carriage Size:______"W x ______"L x _______"H
Vertical Rise:_____' ______"
NOTE: Series M Vertical Lifts
are available with: Lifting capacities to 8,000 Ibs; Carriage sizes to 10' x 12'; Vertical
rise to 200'. Standard travel speed is 25-30 fpm. Travel speeds up to 400 fpm are
available on special order.
STRUCTURE
Guide columns are 6" roll-formed or wide
flange sections. Carriage is fabricated of 4" or 6" structural members with
steel deck plate. Other deck surfaces can be supplied. Carriage is available in straddle
or cantilever styles depending on application (see page 7 for
more information).
OPERATION
Carriage is lifted and lowered by roller chain
attached to an electric motor-reducer assembly mounted on the guide columns. Power units
employ 2 HP to 25 HP TEFC brake motors. Special sensing and guidance systems monitor lift
chains.
ELECTRICAL
Standard power requirements are 208V/
230V/460V, 3-phase. Control voltage is 110V. Control stations and remote mounted control
panel are NEMA 12. Control stations, provided for each level, include self-maintaining,
push buttons with mushroom-head E-Stop button.
SAFETY FEATURES
Upward and downward travel of the carriage is
limited by a limit switch. When the switch is tripped, the motor shuts off and the brake
is engaged. Overload protection is provided by a relay that measures the motor current. If
the current exceeds the amount required to move the maximum load, it will shut the unit
down and engage the brake. Dual safety cams prevent uncontrolled descent in case both
chains break. Chain tensions and guides prevent chains from jumping on sprockets. NO RIDER
signs are posted at each point of operation. Optional DeckLocks available.
