Ladder Lift

Actuators can help with your Ladder Lift application

Minimize operator strain and reduce trips back and forth with an automated solution for lifting or retracting ladders and stairs. Thomson Electric Linear Actuators can also have the advantage of providing feedback to the operator to ensure the ladder is in the “stowed” position prior to the vehicle moving - preventing damage to the ladder and/or adjacent obstacles.

Reduced Design Costs

  • Built-in clutch or limit switches provide end-of-stroke protection.
  • Wide temperature range and shock/vibration resistance for reliable operation in all conditions.
  • Helps reduce tolerance problems.
  • Works as a ladder lock.

Reduced Installation Costs

  • Offers a variety of mounting accessories and easy interface with multiple electronic controls.

Reduced Operating Costs

  • Reliable operation, won't weaken with age or low temperatures.
  • Provides controllable clamping force, preventing the overstressing of ladder materials.

Increased Safety and Productivity

  • Holds position with power off – no drifting or backdriving in the wind. Manual overdrive allows operation with dead or no battery.
  • Actuator-aided, one-person lift reduces exposure of operator to awkward lifting positions with heavy loads.
  • Enables easy everyday maintenance.
