Pawl Device is a safety device with a mechanical anti-drift system. Its function is to provide greater safety in loading/unloading operations by always maintaining the cabin-floor level. This device anchors the chassis to the guides when the cabin is stopped and prevents it from moving downwards during loading.
Pawl Device Features
The Pawl Device not only provides safety, but also fulfils a second function: it acts as a hydraulic shock absorber when placed in the pit, thus eliminating the need to install a conventional shock absorber in the pit.
The installation of the Pawl Device is not mandatory by regulation, however, as it is a safety element it must always bear the CE marking .
Este componente opcional se suele instalar en instalaciones especiales que deben soportar grandes cargas: montacoches, montacargas, etc., pues como ya hemos comentado proporciona una máxima seguridad.
Please request information regarding the parachute system due to loosening of cables. Does this system depend on the type of guides? Or could it be used with any type of guide (example: C profile)
First of all, we would like to thank you for contacting us with your questions. We will respond to your comments as soon as possible:
In Europe, this type of parachute is common due to cable breakage; any chassis manufacturer uses this system, for example Technolift.
In all chassis, it is usual to use T-shaped guides, the C-shaped guide is an obsolete system.
According to European regulations, if people travel in it, it is considered an elevator.
If we use a differential system, traction by cables and a piston that pushes a pulley, a parachute system in the cabin is necessary to prevent the cables from breaking + a parachute valve in the piston to prevent the line from breaking. Another solution to avoid using cables is to create a direct pull hydraulic system using a telescopic piston, which means that only a parachute valve is necessary.
