Kelley Hulk Kombo Dock
Aug. 26, 2010 — Hulk smash?! No, Hulk lift. Hulk take things off back of truck. Hulk very helpful to puny humans on puny co-op / condo boards and puny building supers and porters. Now, can Hulk please have cookie?
Not every co-op or condo needs a combination hydraulic dock-leveler and scissors lift. (You can see from the photo where the latter part gets its name.) But once you start talking something the size of Co-op City or Seward Park or any number of co-ops / condominiums in converted factory spaces, then you're talking major deliveries of building supplies, from cleaning liquids to hallway carpets. Having something with a vertical range of up to 60 inches to make loading and unloading easy from almost any type of vehicle ... well, you don't have to be Dr. Bruce Banner to know that's smart.
Able to lift up to 20,000 pounds with the 10- and 12-foot-long models, and up to 12,000 pounds with the 8-foot-long model, the Hulk Combo Dock, from the Kelley division of the Texas company 4Front Engineered Solutions, has two motors — a 7.5 horsepower life motor and an independent 1 HP leveler motor — and a 12-control panel that adheres to NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) standards. There's also a remote push-button hand control.
Safety features include an interior warning light and an audible alarm, plus a velocity fuse — a device that controls the speed of hydraulic fluid and shuts off when the fluid's moving too fast, thereby stopping the hydraulic leveler and lift. And if you're concerned about energy savings, as who among us isn't, there's an option called Energy Guard that seals the sides and rear of the unit to keep out dirt, debris and insects and to prevent the transfer of heat and energy.
If you're in a hulk-sized co-op or condo and your staff does a lot of heavy lifting, this new hybrid product is something to consider. Otherwise, you might get your staff angry. And you wouldn't like them when they're angry...!
