WE CAN DESIGN PORTALIFT RAIL HOISTS TO SUIT YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS
The all-steel hoist assemblies have a twin column mast mounted on a forked base. The lifting assembly is mounted on the mast and equipped with two front and two rear load-bearing guide rollers. All rollers have sealed ball bearings that carry the load and side thrust.
 
General Specifications

Construction

The all-steel hoist assemblies have a twin column mast mounted on a forked base. The lifting assembly is mounted on the mast and equipped with two front and two rear load-bearing guide rollers. All rollers have sealed ball bearings that carry the load and side thrust
.

 

Each hoist is fitted with a unique centrifugal braking system at the base of the shaft.

 

Positive Stop Safety Device

Each hoist is fitted with a unique centrifugal braking system at the base of the shaft.

 

 

The electric brake motor drives the lifting mechanism through a worm gearbox connected directly to the top of the drive shaft. The drive shaft is a precision-ground steel screw, with two recirculating ball nuts. The load is taken on the drive shaft in tension. The drive shaft hangs from a lubricated self-aligned bearing at the top of the hoist. The lifting assembly is always held true on another lubricated self-aligning bearing.

The lifting and lowering modes are controlled from the remote pendant. This allows the operator freedom to safely observe the lifting operation from any point around the vehicle.

Operation Maneuverability

Portalift hoists have been designed to allow easy maneuverability and positioning by one operator. Under load the hoists settle securely on the floor with four-point contact. All hoists are fitted with a handling and carry point at the top.

 



Remote Control

The lifting and lowering modes are controlled from the remote pendant. This allows the operator freedom to safely observe the lifting operation from any point around the vehicle.

 
 

Unlike Acme-type screws, Portalift's recirculating ball system is virtually friction-free, with a mechanical efficiency around 95%. This offers an extremely efficient and smooth operation. Because of the "rolling" contact between nut and shaft, both these surfaces can be hardened material, reducing wear and increasing life. This avoids the inherent wear problems of the hardened shaft and softer bronze nut of the Acme thread screw system.
