Features:

• Stacking cones constructed from abrasion-resistant steel.
• Handheld remote control pendant.
• Material level-sensing device with auto-raise system, to avoid overfilling. Together, these systems eliminate the need for visual monitoring throughout the loading process.
• Four-cable lifting system, for added support during spout extension and retraction.
• Three-piece, CNC-machined pulleys with rounded edges and precision cable grooves, to significantly reduce cable wear and backlashing. For these reasons, Vortex lifting cables carry a 10-year warranty for wear, tear and workmanship.
