QUADRA-TILT ROTATOR • DC-VOLTAGE 

Page  1

SPECIFICATIONS 

 

Lifter Weight: 

188 lbs [86 kg] 

Tilt Capability: 

Manual, 90°, with four-bar tilt linkage that minimizes operator effort and automatically holds a 
correctly attached load in the upright or flat position. 

Rotation Capability: 

Manual, 360°, with automatic latching (when desired). 

Vacuum Pump: 

Diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow 

Dual Vacuum System: 

Two vacuum system circuits allow the lifter to maintain the vacuum level in one circuit even if an 
unexpected vacuum loss occurs in the other one (eg, due to load breakage). 

Vacuum Reserve Tanks: 

Two vacuum reservoirs help prevent immediate vacuum loss in case of power failure and extend 
battery life by reducing pump cycles required to maintain vacuum. 

Vacuum Gauges: 

Two dial gauges indicate current vacuum level in positive inches of Hg and negative kPa. 

Low Vacuum Warning Light and Buzzer:  Red light and audio buzzer are energized until vacuum level is sufficient to lift 

maximum load weight (higher than 16" Hg [-54 kPa]) and whenever vacuum loss causes pump to 
re-engage.  See appendix for warning buzzer instructions. 

Options: 

Available

 with Model LB8TLO - Tilt Locks.  When engaged, this option ensures that the upright or 

flat orientation of the load is not compromised by accidental or unexpected forces. 
See appendix for instructions about other options. 

Operating Elevation: 

Maximum = 6000 feet [1828 meters] 

Operating Temperatures:  15° to 105° F [-9° to 40° C] 
Service Life: 

This lifter is designed to have a service life of at least 20,000 lifting cycles, when used as 
intended. 

Wiring Diagram: 

The following wiring diagram is attached for reference in servicing the lifter or trouble-shooting a 
deficiency:  D705E-W01 [E-W01]

Model Number: 

MRTA611LDC 

Description: 

Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the MRTA611LDC lifter employs 
vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and it provides manual 360° rotation and mechanically assisted, 
manual 90° tilt movements for load manipulation. 

Power Source: 

12 volts DC, 8 amps 

Battery Capacity: 

7 amp-hours 

Vacuum Pads: 

Six 11" [28 cm] nominal diameter, lipped (Model G3370), 55 durometer natural-polybutadiene 
rubber, spring-mounted (¼" [7 mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
