It is the same eight-column PCL-18B system, built to run on 208-230\/190V three-phase power — the supply an ordinary commercial building already has at the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoosing between the low-voltage and high-voltage builds is not a preference, it is an electrical fact about your building, and it is the first thing to settle.

It is also two four-column sets when you would rather run two trucks at once, with each four-column group handling up to 72,000 lbs.

The columns travel on their own tandem 8\" polyurethane-covered steel wheels with sealed roller bearings, so a rough or debris-strewn floor does not stop them, and forklift pockets are built into each column for moving the set between buildings. Pallet-jack style steering wheels let a loaded column settle firmly onto the slab instead of riding on sprung casters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFit, Floor and Forks\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nothing is anchored and nothing is set into the ground, so your slab does all the work: 1,450 lbs per column before a vehicle is added, concentrated on the wheels. It needs to be flat, level and structurally sound — if you do not know what your slab is, find out before you buy, because that assessment is the customer’s responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The forks lift to a maximum of 71.5\", so your ceiling requirement is that plus the height of the vehicle on top of it, plus room to work. Programmable height limits let you cap the rise for a low roof. One caution on the published table: its two overall-height figures, 101\" and 146.5\", are labelled raised and lowered in an order that looks transposed, so confirm the stowed standing height with us in writing before you assume a column clears a doorway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels and forks.\u003c\/strong\u003e The forks are multi-width with locking pins and extend to suit wide tyres and deep-dish wheels, adjusting between 9.5\" and 35\" — which is what removes the need for the specialty wheel adapters that get lost in every shop that owns them.

Safety circuitry runs at 24-volts, the electronics are multi-fuse protected, and the PLC and main components are off-the-shelf brands rather than proprietary boards — which is what determines whether a fault five years from now is a stocked part or a special order. Each column has its own emergency shut-off, warning light, audible alarm and key lock enclosure; mechanical locks engage automatically at close intervals as the carriage rises; inverted cylinders carry an integrated safety valve against pressure loss; and manual override valves let a vehicle be lowered in a power cut without hand cranks. Lowering has two speeds, so the last few inches can be taken slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications (Per Column)\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eFigure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity, single column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e18,000 lbs (8,165 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColumns supplied\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eEight\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSupply\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e208-230\/190V, 3-phase (see the note above)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControl circuit\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e24-volt\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax. lifting height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e71.5\" (1,889 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e45\" (1,143 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e48.75\" (1,238 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eChassis length\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e32.25\" (819 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFork adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9.5\" to 35\" (241 mm to 889 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFork length\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e11.5\" (292 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTurning circle\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e40\" (1,016 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRise time\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e85 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight per column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,450 lbs (657 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCertification\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBendPak states that this lift meets or exceeds the standards prescribed by ANSI\/ALI ALCTV-2011 — the North American construction, testing and validation standard for automotive lifts.
