CIP's Straddle style material lifts are constructed from structural steel utilizing a 100% duty-cycle brake motor mounted at the top of the unit. The low noise all-mechanical drive system safely transports the carriage and the load with ease by means of dual lifting cables. Our quality design provides a reliable means for moving material to a mezzanine or multiple floors/levels. These lifts require very little maintenance and have increased longevity over hydraulic lifts.
Lift material up to 6,000 lbs to vertical heights up to 40'. Platform sizes up to 8' x 10'. Special sizes, capacities and travel heights may be available.
All CIP cable operated lifts are equipped with broken cable brakes to prevent the carriage from falling in the unlikely event of a cable failure. Mechanical interlocks prevent doors from being opened when the carriage is not present at that level. An electric brake motor secures the carriage in the event of a power failure and prevents the platform from drifting.
The carriage is available in two load pattern configurations: "C" & "Z". Standard units have expanded metal platform side panels on all operating sides and a snap chain across the access side(s).
Operation is controlled by an Illuminated Call/Send Station mounted next to each door at each level. Each station is also equipped with a large E-Stop button to stop the unit in an emergency.
