Borroughs – “Smart” Technology for Unmatched Performance

Borroughs Aisle Saver storage solutions system features solid-state electronics for fast installation, improved reliability and enhanced safety.  Our “plus-and-play” components save time and money on initial installation.  And, fewer moving parts offer increased system reliability and enhanced productivity.

Smart Technology

“Smart” technology provides advanced functionality for improved performance and a closer relationship between the operator and the system.  Maximum flexibility in programming allows users to easily “customize” for desired security and safety.  Also, the software is designed for easy upgrading as additional features become available.

Electronic Aisle Control

The Electronic Aisle Control touch pad has been designed for easy operation.  There is no special training or programming needed for new users.  All system functions are clear and easy to understand, with no moving parts to fail.  Just the press of a button opens a 36″ wide aisle in eight seconds.

Light Carpet Active Safety System

Borroughs exclusive Patented Light Carpet® Active Safety System will not allow an aisle to close if persons or objects enter the aisle and do not leave the aisle.  Light Carpet sensors, placed on 3″ centers, track personnel and objects along the entire length of the carriage.  Not affected by heat or load conditions, the system makes it virtually impossible to inadvertently close an aisle on a person or valuable object.

Controlled / Keyless Entry

The LCD Master Control numerical touch pad is standard for controlled/keyless entry.  An LCD diagnostic status monitor displays the location of the obstruction within the system.  Obstructions are easily found and cleared.  The system will not allow the aisle to close until it is cleared and the control is reset.

Mechanical Assist

Mechanical Assist Control incorporates a direct chain drive system transferring the force from the 3-spoke handle directly to the drive shaft, which in turn drives every wheel on one side of each movable carriage.  A visual safety knob is located above the handle and is used to lock the carriages on either side of the open aisle.

The Ergonomic Three Spoke Handles are free-turning ball handles which lend to the clean lines of the system while providing maximum functionality, and reduce Carpal-Tunnel problems for users.  The Double Gear Reduction feature allows movement of a 6,000 pound payload with as little as one pound of effort on the crank handle.

All wheels on one side of each movable carriage are interconnected by solid steel shafts.  All axle (wheel) to shaft connections use a high torque steel coupler with four nylock set screws and 1/4″ keyways fitted with keys.
