LIFT FUNCTIONALITY (CONTINUED)
Slack Switch: The G-Force® is equipped with a slack switch that senses tension in the wire rope and
trips when the wire rope develops slack. The switch is located inside the actuator assembly. When the
slack switch senses slack in the wire rope, downward movement of the lift is stopped to minimize the
amount of wire rope unwound from the drum pulley. When slack in the wire rope is sensed, the lift will only
move up but not down.
Remote Mounted Handle (System Option): The
lifting device is capable of operating with the handle
displaced from the wire rope (not in-line with the wire
rope). For example, if an end user has tooling that is too
large for the operator to safely reach and operate the
handle in the standard in-line position, remote mounting
the handle is recommended. The tooling must be mounted
(and balanced) on the end of the wire rope, while the
handle can be remote mounted to the tooling.
The tooling MUST be attached to the end of the wire rope
with the G360™ swivel assembly (supplied by Gorbel,
Inc.). Failure to mount the tooling with a
swivel assembly can result in premature failure of both the
wire rope and the coil cord.
The remote mounted handle is linked to the coil cord via an

end user must supply Gorbel with the required length of the extension cable such that it can be safely
routed and clamped to the tooling.
Always include the distance for bends and turns when providing the extension length.
Ensure that the slide handle is supported properly in remote mounted handle applications by restraining
the slide handle at both the top and bottom mounting points (diagram D).
