Safety Features

Eclipse Powered Systems are the safest high-density mobile storage solutions you can buy.

In fact, Eclipse Powered Systems’ built-in safeguards help prevent users from getting trapped or injured by the moving system. A passive, in-aisle safety system stops carriage movement – automatically and instantly – when a person enters a moving aisle and prevents movement if a person or object is detected in an open aisle.

Closed-loop control keeps carriages from moving if a Photo Sweep® component fails. Remote controls let you open, stop or reset the system from a distance. And built-in anti-tip devices add system stability.

Eclipse helps protect your stored materials, too, with optional electronic links to your building’s fire protection and security systems.

With Eclipse, you use your powered system with full confidence and peace of mind. And never give safety a second thought.

Waist-High Photo Sweep

A set of Photo Sweep sensors can be mounted at waist height for added safety and peace of mind.

Aisle-Entry Sensor

If a person enters a closing aisle, cross-aisle sensors mounted 20 inches (508 mm) up from the carriage base stop the system from moving.

The Entry/Exit Zone

In the first 30 inches (762 mm) of each aisle end, cross-aisle Zero Force Sensors® (ZFS®) mounted on 6-inch (152 mm) centers (versus 12-inch [305 mm] centers the rest of the carriage length) ensure safety and automatic reset upon exiting.

Safety Lock Out

Lighted indicators signal when a person or object is in an open aisle, and prevent the selection of a new aisle until the open aisle is checked.

Zero Force Sensor

By projecting multiple infrared photoelectric beams across an open aisle the full length of the carriage, the Zero Force Sensor (ZFS) system detects a person’s entry into a moving aisle or presence in an open aisle and automatically locks down carriage movement.

Photo Sweep

An infrared and visible red light beam projected the length of the carriage at its base stops system movement when broken by a person’s foot or other object. An optional mechanical safety sweep is also available.
