An apartment building in Boston needed an automated stair lift to transport trash barrels from the basement to street level, eliminating manual labor hazards. Partnering with one of our valued customers, we developed a successful proof of concept using a Hyponic right-angle paired with an Invertek P2 Variable Frequency Drive.

Now, with a push of a button, the trash barrels get moved down to street level and back up again. There are 4 limit switches in the circuit that allow the platform to slow down and then completely stop in both directions. The Invertek P2 VFD handles the digital inputs for switch wiring and includes a built-in relay to control the motor brake seamlessly. Do you have a challenge that needs a custom solution?
