Wildeck's line of RiderLifts and XpressLift VRC will be showcased at ProMat's 2019 conference and expo.
Event attendees will see the company's line of rideable material lifts, which are designed to save time, improve safety, reduce lost time accidents and increase material handling efficiency.
Available in three different capacity sizes (XL, 2XL and 4XL), Wildeck's line of RiderLifts comply with ASME A17.1/CSA B44 "Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators." Equipped with two synchronized direct-acting hydraulic cylinders, the XL model offers a capacity of 5,000 lbs. and carriage sizes up to 102 sq. ft. Four synchronized direct-acting hydraulic cylinders increase the capacity of the 2XL and 4XL models to 8,000 lbs. and 10,000 lbs., respectively. Additionally, carriage size increases to a maximum of 163 sq. ft. on the 2XL model and 204 sq. ft. on the 4XL model.
"Classified as a type B rideable material lift, Wildeck's RiderLift allows authorized personnel to safely travel between levels with their materials at a fraction of the cost of a passenger or freight elevator," said a company spokesperson. In addition to maximizing the efficiencies gained from mezzanine platforms, rack systems and pick modules, each device is constructed with heavy-duty welded structural components, making it a suitable solution for industrial applications.
The XpressLift has been specifically designed to efficiently integrate vertical lifting into automated conveyor systems. Designed and manufactured to meet ANSI/ASME - B20.1 "Safety Standards for Conveyors," the XpressLift VRC can quickly transfer totes or cartons of materials typically weighing up to 75 lbs. at speeds up to 350 ft. per minute. "Facilities looking to increase automation and shorten product delivery times to customers will appreciate the ease with which the device can be installed, maintained and integrated into new and existing conveyor systems," said the spokesperson.
Another feature of the XpressLift VRC design is the closed-loop AC vector drive. By mounting the AC vector drive directly on the motor at the top of the lift, efficiency is maximized and heat is more effectively dissipated. Additionally, an encoder continuously monitors the motor and controls the braking system for safety, allowing for ultra-smooth, high-speed lift operation. Carriage stopping is also performed by the AC vector drive, extending the life of the mechanical motor brake.
A functioning demonstration unit will be on display for attendees interested in improving the efficiency of their automated facility.
