This manual provides current information on the
Bar Lift Safety Barrier. Due to ongoing product
improvement, some parts may have changed, along
with operation and troubleshooting methods. This
manual describes these changes where applicable.
The Poweramp Bar Lift Barrier adds enhanced safety
to any loading dock by preventing forklift trucks from
accidentally driving off the edge of the dock. The
Bar Lift Barrier also protects the overhead door from
forklift truck collisions.
The barrier bar that spans across the door opening
is constructed from a 3” x 8” tube with 3/8” thick
walls made from A500 steel. The barrier housing and
receiver assembly are mounted into the concrete with
5/8” x 5” anchors. An optional plate is available that is
attached to the barrier bar to prevent the forks from a
forklift truck to go under the barrier and damage the
overhead door.
This unit is rated to withstand repeated impacts by
a 10,000-lb. load moving at 4 mph. Standard units
(including stanchion, barrier arm, and receiver pocket)
are 12’1” wide.
Customized widths and gusseted models are available
to protect the bottom panel of overhead doors. The
Bar-Lift Barrier can also be equipped with a self-
storing handrail for foot traffic at the dock.
Each Bar Lift Barrier unit and control panel has been
factory pre-wired and tested to ensure satisfactory
operation.
To illustrate which connections are to be made in the
field at installation, electrical drawings are included
with each order or by contacting Systems, LLC
Technical Services.
Call Poweramp to discuss available voltages, phases
and options to meet your specific needs.
