Maintenance and Warranty

  • Lubrication-Free Rollers: Carriage rollers are maintenance-free and require no lubrication.
  • Safe Maintenance Support: A one-piece structural steel device supports the lift carriage safely during inspections and routine maintenance.
  • Easy Fluid Checks: The semi-transparent polyurethane oil reservoir allows quick and easy fluid level checks, preventing rust-related contamination.
  • Resilient Hydraulic Hoses: Double wire braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
  • Reliable Warranty: Autoquip provides a 1-year warranty on all parts and a 5-year warranty on the lift structure, guaranteeing industry-leading reliability.

Compliance with Recognized Standards

Durability and Quality

  • Seamless Carriage Operation: Equipped with high-capacity needle bearing rollers, ensuring consistent and smooth movement.
  • Effective Shock Absorption: High-impact rubber stops at the upper landing reduce noise and absorb shock effectively.
  • Self-Aligning Hydraulic Rams: The hydraulic lifting rams self-align to minimize side loading and reduce wear on bearings and seals.
  • Enhanced Stability: Stabilizer arms on the lifting rams prevent deflection and side loading, significantly extending the lifespan of the rams and seals.
  • Robust Platform: A steel-reinforced platform, at least ¼ inch thick, minimizes deck deflection, enhances load stability, and prolongs platform longevity.
  • Durable Guide Beams: Structural steel guide beams ensure reliable and consistent tracking of carriage rollers, extending their lifespan.
  • Chrome-Plated Rods: Chrome plating enhances the durability of the rods, extending the life of the cylinders and seals.

Simplicity

  • Pre-Assembled Shipping: Each hydraulic VRC is shipped fully assembled, including chains and cables, for hassle-free setup.
  • Easily Adjustable Stops: Upper landing carriage stops can be adjusted within a 3-inch range for flexibility.
  • Overhead-Free Design: The FreightLite carriage does not require an overhead structure, allowing for unlimited load height.
  • Versatile Loading: The cantilevered design permits loading from three different directions.

Safety

  • Consistent Leveling: Automatic re-pressurization keeps the carriage level with the upper landing during long idle periods.
  • Secure Loading Stops: Physical stops at the upper landing ensure the carriage remains stationary during loading and unloading.
  • Enhanced Personnel Safety: The standard barrier bar system protects personnel when the carriage is not at the upper landing.
  • Interlocked Gates: Landing gates lock automatically when the lift carriage leaves, preventing opening until the carriage returns.
  • Operation Safety Switches: Gate status switches ensure the lift does not operate while any gate is open.
  • Emergency Stop Mechanism: Hydraulic velocity fuses stop the lift in case of an uncontrolled descent due to hose rupture.
  • Structural Integrity: With a minimum 3:1 structural safety factor, these lifts are among the most robust in the industry.
