B. Safety Devices
Motor Holding Brake
A motor holding braking system engages and holds the vertical axis in place when power is removed from the
cart or in the event of a power outage. The motor holding break is also engaged when there the chain is not
moving.
Overload Capacity Protection
Protects the equipment and prevents the operator from lifting or moving more weight than the system is rated
for. If the load weight causes the cart to draw more amps then the programmed current limit, the cart will not
lift any further until the excess load is removed. Downward motion is permitted when overloaded to allow the
user to safely set the weight back down on a stable surface.
Safety Drop Stop (SDS) Chain
All Standard units have a Safety Drop Stop (SDS) chain included. The SDS Chain moves up and down the
vertical axis with the load chain. It provides load stabilization in the event of a catastrophic load chain failure.
This unique feature has a US Patent NO. 10,099,904 awarded as of 2018.
