Industrial Actuation: Electromechanical vs. Pneumatic Lift Racks
The RZR platform adapts to your plant's specific material flow requirements through an array of specialized, modular components:
• Tailored Cell Size Configurations: Furnished in various cell sizes to match the profile of diverse parts, preventing component-on-component impact.
• Integrated Tow Bars: Allows plant operators to pull the dynamic rack efficiently, either as an individual material asset or chained together in a longer tow train.
• Heavy-Duty Hitches: Enables multiple racks to hook together into a transport train, facilitating fast transit via a standard fork truck, industrial tugger, or Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV).
• Directional Locking Foot Pedals: Secures the heavy-duty casters so that the racks track strictly front to back when in transit between stations. When depressed, the pedal temporarily allows full 360-degree rotation or side-to-side positioning within tight assembly cells.
• Clear Vinyl Curtains: Seals off the internal dunnage compartments to prevent dust, grease, and ambient factory contamination from reaching parts. Curtains are available in standard industrial vinyl as well as specialized ESD-safe materials.
• External Control Units: Features a stationary line-side power unit that connects to an external 120-volt power supply. Built with a dual-hand safety actuation control interface (requiring one dedicated unit per assembly station).
• Control Carrying Cases: Provides mobile power capabilities via a compact case that fits over an operator's shoulder or mounts directly to their tool belt. Requires a portable 24V battery connection (one unit required per station).
• Built-In 24V Battery Units: Adds a removable and rechargeable 24-volt lithium-ion battery system directly into the rack frame. Includes a heavy-duty protective housing and an integrated directional toggle switch.
• Industrial Rocker Switches: Utilizes a rugged 30A 12VDC two-directional rocker switch measuring 2" x 1" that mounts directly to the rack frame or external power enclosures.
• Kobalt Lithium-Ion Power Packs: Employs high-performance Kobalt 24-volt max Li-ion batteries equipped with built-in power indicators and internal circuitry to protect against over-charge, over-discharge, and extreme temperatures. Racks utilize 2.0 Ah battery packs for integrated setups and 4.0 Ah variants for external carrying cases, recharging in 30 minutes and 1 hour respectively.
