Safety Features

Safety Gates remain locked until hidden sensor identifies customer with proper shopping cart in loading zone. The sensor will identify shopping cart regardless of angle of approach and release gate. This prevents children from opening the safety gates and prevents rogue shopping carts or trolleys from entering the system.

Photoelectric Sensors are positioned at both infeed and discharge levels to detect people or material other than shopping carts and turns
unit off.

Stainless Steel Archway at infeed provides a visual and physical guide to inhibit carts with overhanging loads.

Cart Arrestors are positioned along runaway as a redundant safety. In the event of a runaway cart, arrestors prevent carts from traveling to landing. Cart arrestors are spring loaded to absorb shock and reduce damage to merchandise and carts.

Belt Guard at discharge area shields moving belt from public.

Clear Acrylic Barriers, one half inch thick, are embedded along top of balustrade to prevent customers from reaching moving shopping carts from escalator or stairway.

Red Light at discharge archway will flash during initial start up and shows a steady red if fault condition occurs
