The result is a lift table with a dual direction sliding platform, and with safety elements that prevent the slide from operating until the lift table has exited the pit, and once the lift table is out of the pit, additional safety elements that will ensure the slide has returned to the home position before permitting the lift table to return into the pit.

If the dock lift is in the elevated position when the power failure occurs you will not be able to lower the dock lift unless the power unit is equipped with an optional manual lowering valve. The manual lowering valve would be located on the power unit, and when opened, the hydraulic oil in the lift cylinders will be directed back to the reservoir. This will permit the table to lower.
