Wood’s Powr-Grip MTCL8FS10TDC - Manual (Page 5)

Rev 6.0/12-13 3 3 MTCL8HV11FDC: #35079
SPECIFICATIONS
Model Number: MTCL8HV11FDC
Description: Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the MTCL8HV11FDC lifter
employs vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and it provides manual 90° tilt movements for load
manipulation.
Power Source: 12 volts DC, 8 amps
Battery Capacity: 35 amp-hours
Vacuum Pads: Eight 10" [25 cm] nominal diameter, lipped with closed-cell foam rings for applications on
rough or textured surfaces (Model HV11F), low-marking rubber, spring-mounted (¾" [20
mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
Pad Spread: 1 (to outer edges) Minimum Maximum w/o Extensions Maximum w/Extensions
Length: 23" [582 mm] 38¾" [987 mm] 178¾" [4539 mm]
Width: 23" [583 mm] 39" [988 mm] 39" [988 mm]
Load Capacity: 1 (rated at 16" Hg [-54 kPa] on clean, smooth, nonporous flat surfaces 2 )
Per-Pad: 150 lbs [68 kg]
Maximum: 700 lbs [320 kg] with 6 or 8 vacuum pads in use
Lifter Weight: 245 lbs [112 kg]
With Extensions: 360 lbs [164 kg]
Tilt Capability: Manual, 90°; Latch engages automatically when pad frame reaches vertical or horizontal
position (if desired)
Dual Vacuum System: 2 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 Pumps: 2 diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow
Vacuum Reserve Tanks: 2 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: 2 dial gauges indicate current vacuum level in positive inches of Hg and negative kPa.
Vacuum Lift Lights: 2 green lights are energized whenever vacuum level is sufficient for lifting maximum load
weight (higher than 16" Hg [-54 kPa]).
Low Vacuum Warning Buzzer: Maximum Alarm Volume = 103 dBA at 2 ft [60 cm]. While the lifter is powered up, an
audible alarm warns the operator whenever vacuum is not sufficient for lifting the maximum
load weight.
Options: Available with Model EO8RC3 - Remote Control System. This option features a radio
transmitter and receiver that can activate apply and release functions at distances up to 250
ft [76 m]. The system uses either a 310-320 or a 433-434 MHz signal, depending on
requirements in your geographical location. See separate instructions about other options.
Operating Elevation: Maximum = 6000 ft [1828 m]
Operating Temperatures: 32° to 104° F [0° to 40° C]
Service Life: This lifter is designed to have a service life of at least 20,000 lifting cycles, when used and
maintained as intended. Vacuum pads, filter elements and other wear-out items are
excluded; see MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST for more information. For the
D ISPOSAL OF THE L IFTER after its service life, see INTENDED USE.
ASME Standard BTH-1: Design Category "B", Service Class "0" (see www.powrgrip.com for more information)
!!-CE-!! Note: This symbol appears in the INSTRUCTIONS manual only when requirements of a CE Standard are different from
requirements of other standards that also apply to this vacuum lifter. CE requirements are mandatory in geographical areas
where CE Standards apply, but may be optional in other locations.
