MacRack
A new economical, competitive and environmentally-friendly electric-drive system that
combines drive and lift operations for side-rolling hatch covers. Cargotecs latest electricdrive solution for MacGregor side-rolling hatch covers, MacRack, employs a combined
rack-and-pinion drive and lifter system.
When opening hatch covers the
lifting force needed is achieved by
the MacRack lever mechanism. The
mechanism converts the rotation
(torque) into a vertical movement. When
closing, the mechanism lowers the
covers and pushes them together to
achieve the correct amount of rubber
compression and tightness, therefore
making separate hatch cover lifters
obsolete.
Panels are kept in the closed position
by an automatic lock (with manual
release). For intermediate stops, the
panels are held by the built-in brake on
the motors. There are auto-cleats, which
are activated by the opening/closing
movement.
