LOAD CAPACITY
The load capacity rating is stamped on a metal plate attached to one side of the lift.
This figure is a net capacity rating for a lift furnished with the standard platform. The
relief valve of the pumping unit has been set to raise the weight, plus a small amount for
overload. Where gravity roll-sections, special tops, etc, are installed on the lift after
leaving the plant, deduct the weight of these from the load rating to obtain the net
capacity. Lifts should not be overloaded beyond the established capacity as
damage and/or personal injury may result.
UNBALANCED LOADING
The stabilization provided is basically for balanced loads. If special attachments extend
beyond the length and/or width dimensions of the platform, the end and/or side load
capacity is reduced 2% for each one-inch extension from the center.
PUMP PRESSURE
This lift incorporates a positive displacement pump machined to a high degree of
accuracy and specially adapted to requirements of higher-pressure ranges over that of
a standard pump. Therefore, standard factory models of the same manufacture cannot
replace it.
The pump can operate efficiently at intermittent pressures up to 3200 PSI and
continuous duty to 2500 PSI. The safety relief valve in the pump assembly is factory-
set to stay within the parameters of the pump and lift requirements.
DEMAG DRIVE SYSTEM
The Coil Car incorporates an electric traverse drive system with a motor and gearbox
speed reducer directly driving a splined shaft and two drive wheels in high capacity
wheel “pockets” attached to each side of the lift. Most components in this Demag drive
system are specially machined, high precision, and metric; they should not be replaced
with non-Demag components.
