The automatically controlled vacuum pump ensures a minimum vacuum in the integral vacuum reservoir ensuring a minimum safety factor of at least 3. The suction pad is vacuumised with the radio controlled transmitter which operates 3 way valve - the vacuum will then drop to no more than the minimum safety percentage and will rise quickly allowing immediate lifting. If the vacuum level drops below safe level - this is immediately sensed by the vacuum control system which activates a warning buzzer and flashing red xenon warning lamp - however, the heaviest permitted load remains secure until the percentage drops below 20%. The system has automatic cut-off which switches off pump at maximum vacuum ensuring prolonged battery life.
- Safety: The reservoir is designed to provide a minimum ‘hang on' time of 20 minutes in the event of power failure - however the ‘powered on’ batlift system can hold on to a maximum load for at least 7 days!!. All BAT lifters must complete a lifting test with concrete before they leave the factory )the vacuum supply unit, lifting beam and vacuum pads are constructed and tested for twice the rated lifting capacity to ensure a long, low maintenance life span.
- Operation & maintenance: No installation/connection required easily interchangeable between forklift trucks - this system has been developed to offer the user an easily installed & very useable lifting system that requires no reeling drums or connection to outside power source - a lifting device with the lowest possible operating & maintenance requirements. The suction pad consists of a heavy duty steel base with a seal profile.
- The hard wearing seal material is inserted into the seal profile and can be replaced in minutes. For normal operation ( e.g.. Steel stockholders) the pad seal should last over 12 months and is inexpensive to renew. The vacuum power of the system is supplied by the advanced DC vacuum pump which requires minimal maintenance .
- Safety - Unlike other lifting devices the Batlift system provides the operator with continuous status indication during the lifting process - should the operator try to lift a sheet incorrectly then the red xenon flash/warning sounder will operate. However the batlift system is inherently safe - it will not pick up sheets unless initial sealing criteria are met. Example - Once suction is achieved a 1000 kgs system will exert a total clamping force of at least 3000 kgs (safety factor is minimum 3). The Batlift sealing system for stone has been specially designed for all type of surface from rough to smooth.
