News About PoweRamp Dock Levellers

In the last months, continuous research of the dock levellers has led to various improvements in the PoweRamp product range. A low transport height is introduced; new pit systems have been introduced; new options have been added.

The low transport height
The low transport height has several benefits that are listed here below. The benefits are also illustrated by a photo and a drawing.

The costs of transport are lower because the transport height of the levellers is reduced: to ± 380 mm for the PoweRamp 232M and ± 475 mm for PoweRamp 233M. Stacks of 6 units 232M are possible on a truck. Up to 50 % more levellers can be loaded onto a truck. Stacks of 5 units 233M are possible on a truck. Up to 66 % more levellers can be loaded onto a truck. The drawing here below shows you how to load a truck with 30 pieces of 232M-010!

The low transport height increases the stability of the stacks on the truck during transport.
The installation time for a leveller packed in low transport height will take approximately 2 hours which makes the installation time shorter.

When the leveller is placed in the pit, the tear plate automatically levels with the curb angles of the pit which makes the installation easier.

The amount of packaging materials (such as clamps, tubes) can be significantly decreased for the low transport height dock levellers.

The PoweRamp 232M and 233M will be produced with the same rear frame which ensures uniformity in design.

New pit systems
Four new sub frames have been added in order to complete the pit system program: pit 360, 370, 375 and 380. The four pits are all hang-in frames. For more information about these new pit systems, you can contact Loading Systems International BV.

New options
Several new options have been added to the program of the PoweRamp dock leveller:
  • some tab sequence equiv in htmlfixation plates;
  • some tab sequence equiv in htmlair seals with brushes as an addition to the air seals of PVC.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
