Design Standard CE compliant and designed in accordance with BS EN

1494:2000+A1:2008, the British Standard for mobile or moveable jacks.

Safety - A wireless handheld remote control allows the operator to move freely, monitor each lift, and remain a safe distance from the elevated container.

- Hydraulic counterbalance valves ensure the container will stay elevated in the event of an unexpected power outage or hydraulic failure.

- An emergency stop button on the remote will stop the

A Series on demand. A second hardwired emergency stop button sits on the ground, a safe distance from the elevated container.

- On-board sensors and a safety-rated control system, with dual-channel redundancy, controls the pumps and motors, keeping the container level and each hoist synchronized.

- Dual lifting cables, rated to 5 times the working load limit, share the load on each leg. If one cable failed unexpectedly, the other cable can carry the full load by itself.
