Updated cylinder lifts
These updated BTL and MBTL Series cart lifters feature design changes on the lifters’ slider latches, the part of the lifter that moves up and down to grab and release the cart. The changes apply to all Bayne BTL and MBTL Series of lifters, except the BTL 208 RHK Series, which uses a rotating hook instead of a slider latch to secure the container to the lifter.
Changes include a redesigned slider bearing so that it is attached to the faceplate, eliminating an area of potential contamination, and making it possible to replace the bearings without removing the slider latch. The mounting of the hook shaft was changed to eliminate any concerns about it coming loose from the body, and a new 60 percent larger spring allows the hook to rotate freely, without sticking.
Other changes include the elimination of connecting rods that formerly drove the slider latch. These have been replaced with fixed-length steel slider links, which will ensure that the saddle is always properly set to handle most ANSI standard two-bar carts. Upgrade kits are available for existing lifters. Bayne’s Taskmaster model cylinder lift was also updated earlier in 2006.
