Superior Carriage Space for Accommodating Larger Loads

The Hydraulic Straddle VRC is designed to offer enhanced carriage space, making it an ideal solution for transporting larger loads efficiently. This innovative lift features a robust two-post configuration, with the carriage positioned between two beams, allowing for significantly larger carriage sizes. The advanced 4:1 cable reeving system minimizes stress on the lifting cables, maximizing the travel distance achieved per inch of cylinder stroke. Standard models of this lift can travel up to 360 inches and handle load capacities ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds. For specialized needs, we offer custom-built models tailored to your specific application requirements. If our standard models don’t meet your needs, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your unique specifications and let us build a lift that perfectly fits your operational demands.

Maintenance and Warranty

  • Efficient Cable System: The industry-best 4:1 cable reeving system reduces stress on lifting cables, enhancing safety, dependability, and cable lifespan.
  • Visible Fluid Levels: A sturdy, semi-transparent polyurethane oil reservoir allows easy fluid level checks and prevents rust-related contamination.
  • Extended Roller Life: The straddle design places less stress on guide rollers, prolonging their useful life.
  • Durable Hydraulic Hoses: Double wire braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
  • Maintenance-Free Rollers: Carriage rollers require no lubrication.
  • Long-Lasting Cables: 10-inch to 12-inch diameter sheaves promote longer cable life with a large bend radius.
  • Comprehensive Warranty: Autoquip provides a 1-year warranty on all parts and a 5-year warranty on the lift structure, ensuring industry-leading reliability.

Compliance with Recognized Standards

Durability and Quality

  • Smooth Carriage Movement: High-capacity steel rollers equipped with spiral-wound, Teflon-impregnated bushings ensure smooth and reliable operation.
  • Noise and Shock Absorption: High-impact rubber stops effectively absorb the shock and noise as the carriage stops at the upper landing.
  • Self-Aligning Cylinders: All hydraulic lifting cylinders self-align to reduce side loading and minimize wear on bearings and seals.
  • Robust Platform: A minimum ¼ inch thick steel-reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, enhances load stability, and extends platform life.
  • Reliable Tracking: Structural steel guide beams provide consistent and reliable tracking of carriage rollers, extending their lifespan.
  • Enhanced Durability: Chrome plating on rods improves durability and extends the life of cylinders and seals.
  • Noise Reduction: Spring-loaded guides mounted to the carriage restrict lateral movement and reduce noise during travel in the guide beams.

Simplicity

  • Adjustable Carriage Stops: Upper landing carriage stops can be easily adjusted over a 3-inch range.
  • Extended Carriage Lengths: The straddle carriage design allows for longer carriage lengths, accommodating larger loads.

Safety

  • Automatic Leveling: The hydraulic system automatically re-pressurizes to keep the carriage level with the upper landing during long idle periods.
  • Certified Carriage Brakes: Certified brakes stop carriage falls in the unlikely event of sudden breakage of both lifting cables.
  • Physical Stops: Physical stops at the upper landing prevent carriage movement during loading and unloading.
  • Barrier Bar System: Standard-issue shaft way barrier bars enhance personnel safety when the carriage is away from the upper landing.
  • Interlocked Gates: Landing gates lock automatically when the carriage leaves and cannot be opened until it returns.
  • Gate Status Switches: Prevent lift operation while any gate is open.
  • Emergency Stop Mechanism: Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop the lift in the event of an uncontrolled descent due to hose rupture.
  • Structural Safety Factor: With a minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety, these lifts are among the most robust in the industry.
