DESIGN CONCEPTS

In contrast with pre-existing lift designs, ALUM-A-LIFT constructions share attributes, many of which are unique. Valid feedback from users, engineers and ergonomists is continually employed in improving products and their adaptability to solve ergonomic lifting problems. Each application is analyzed to define the correct problem. A device is then adapted, configured or designed, as required, for a viable solution. Many solutions require considerable engineering. Some lead to the birth of another product. This philosophy is diametrically opposed to that which attempts to sell a catalog number and leaves it to the user to take it as is, or to figure out a way to make it work properly. Each ALUM-A-LIFT product is tested for function as well as for quality before it is sent to the user. With a goal of "Happy Campers", ALUM-A-LIFT is frequently used as a replacement for heavy, cumbersome, hydraulic, chain or cable operation, and manually powered lifts.

Shared attributes include:

Modular constructions, intermembering,    easily reconfigured Efficient, fail safe ball screw drives Gear motors with power-off braking Variable dimensions to fit the application    and conditions Straight-up masts which keep the load    moving in-line Wide range of wheels, casters and    braking methods On-board, automatic chargers Battery options including sealed gelcells Built-in limit switches; optional    programmable controllers with multiple    stops

Clear, protective polycarbonate screen Removable, hand held control pendant    for fixed or remote operation Ergonomic handles, 14°, variable grip    height, correctly spaced Optional power supplies for wall outlet    operation Variable profile legs for crawiling under    obstacles Optional counterbalanced units when no    crawlspace is available Optional head-on or parallel parking for    load transfer Limitless variety of custom designed end    effecters
