The PCE series battery puller utilizes three separate power systems, all working together to create optimum performance. The first system is an AC-controlled gear reduction drive system. This system incorporates a computerized SEW Eurodrive™ motor inverter that controls braking, drive speeds, and torque settings.
The raise/lower power system of the PCE uses two additional Eurodrive™ motors—running in parallel—to raise and lower the carriage on the four-point rack-and-pinion upright system. The final power system drives the hydraulic components of the unit, such as the carriage conveyors and pivot arm assembly.
By using its three power units together, the PCE is able to offer 100% true multi-function control. This control means that the operator can travel, raise the carriage, and manipulate the vacuum arm simultaneously...without any loss of performance.
