CARRIAGE STYLES

Straddle Carriages

Pflow lift are normally designed to be loaded/unloaded from the front or back (between columns). With Pflow straddle carriages the support columns are placed on either side of the carriage. Straddle configuration balances the load on the carriage and keeps column loads essentially in compression. Loads on guides and rollers are minimal.

Cantilevered Carriage

If required by application, the carriage can be cantilevered to allow loading/unloading from the side. With cantilevered carriages, the support columns are placed on one side of the carriage to allow loading/unloading at 90º angles. This requires heavier structure and guide wheel components. Carriage size and capacity are limited by the unbalanced load condition. With large carriages or high capacity applications, the carriage thickness is increased thereby requiring a deeper pit for proper installation.

4-Post Carriage

If the load exceeds 6,000 lbs., Pflow provides 4-Post units in which the carriage is cradled between guide columns at each corner. The carriage is lifted at all four points. 4-Post carriages can be modified to be loaded/unloaded from any one of four sides.
