Upward Mobility

The Max Climber 2000P-IPM rack and pinion personnel and material elevator by Beta Max Inc. uses little space while providing a safe and efficient means of access for workers performing maintenance work at high levels. The Max Climber 2000P-IPM easily attaches to scaffolding or a building exterior and is designed with a base system footprint of 93 inches by 95 inches.

Interlocked landing gates are available for safe entering and exiting above ground level, as well as a platform for unloading materials at the work level. With a maximum payload of 2,000 pounds (or seven people) the elevator travels at speeds up to 80 fpm and operates via 230V/3-phase power. Additional features include floor stops, to ensure stopping at the desired level with no jogging of the cabin, and an optional frequency drive controller that provides soft start and stop. The Max Climber 2000P-IPM has been designed in compliance with current safety regulations and can be set up for either temporary or permanent installations. (www.betamaxhoist.com)
