Carriage Length, Load Capacity, and Housing Options
The Eclipse Powered System boasts impressive specifications, including carriage lengths ranging from 3 feet to 81 feet and a minimum load-carrying capacity of 1,000 pounds per linear foot.
This robust, adaptable solution can meet virtually any storage need, whether mounting existing shelves and cabinets or integrating specialized storage solutions like case-type, four-post, and cantilever shelving.
The electric shelf system's versatility accommodates drawers, bins, trays, lateral files, doors, industrial rack shelving, and various storage accessories, ensuring a comprehensive solution for any organizational challenge.
Operational Features
Control and Accessibility
Eclipse electric shelf systems have operational controls designed with user-friendliness and security in mind. From touchpads with display and audit trails to Touch Technology Control™ LCD touchscreens, users can enjoy optimum ease of use. These systems support controlled audit access via PIN codes or card authorization, which is perfect for high-security applications.
The innovative Transforming Usable Space & Capability (TUSC®) Control app further enhances accessibility, allowing control of powered mobile systems from iOS or Android devices. Even in power outages, the optional battery backup ensures full system functionality, highlighting the system's reliability and user-centric design.
Environmental Monitoring and Lighting
Eclipse electric shelves also offer optional environmental sensors to monitor temperature, humidity levels, and the presence of water to protect the longevity of stored items.
Optional LED overhead lighting enhances safety and convenience, with lights that automatically turn on when an aisle opens. This feature, combined with the system’s ability to detect and partially open aisles automatically for ventilation, demonstrates a deep understanding of the environmental needs of storage longevity.
Uncompromised Safety Features
Safety is paramount with the Eclipse Powered System. The solution includes a variety of safety mechanisms:
- Closed-loop controls to prevent carriage movement if a component fails
- Infrared photoelectric Photo Sweep® technology for object and person detection
- Zero Force Sensors® detect a person’s presence in an aisle and automatically shut down carriage movement
Spacesaver's mechanical safety sweep adds another layer of protection, automatically stopping carriage movement upon contact with an obstacle, ensuring a safe operational environment for all users.
Eclipse electric shelf systems represent more than a space-saving solution; they embody advanced engineering, thoughtful design, and operational excellence. These systems are a strategic investment in your organization's future, offering the flexibility, safety, and efficiency needed to thrive in today's competitive landscape.
