EnKon Docking Station Lifts

EnKon Docking Station Lifts reliably accept and position loads to ensure maximum uptime.  Product can be positioned within an ergonomic window to reduce operator fatigue and injury.  These units are often specified into automated assembly lines where multiple layers of product are delivered or operators may be on raised platforms for specific assembly tasks.

EnKon Floor-Mounted Belt Drive U-Cell Scissor Lift:

• The EnKon belt-drive scissor lift provides dependable lifting power when uptime is critical, such as in high-volume automotive assembly lines
• Designed to enable the raised gearmotor and belt system to drive both sides of lift
• Dimensions and optical sensing requirements are designed to meet AMR and load requirements
• Manual or automatic height adjustment
• Fully integrated control panel with HMI and/or safety circuits as needed
• Optional, fully redundant anti-fall devices

Floor-Mounted U-Cell Scissor Lifts:

• EnKon U-Cell lifts accept AMR loads, provide manual or automatic height adjustment, and deposit empty loads back onto an AMR
• Scissor lift options include fully electric, hydraulic, and air-powered
• Dimensions and optical sensing requirements are designed to meet AMR and load requirements
• Standard 12” lowered height and 36” raised height can be modified as needed

The EnKon Rallet:

The Rallet is a unique fusion of an EnKon custom-rotating base and a specialized carrier plate pallet. Designed with autonomy and ergonomics in mind, it features:

• Precision Centering: Undercarriage depressions that lock onto centering cones for 100% repeatable, stable load positioning.
• Intelligent Rotation: Optional locking detents and smooth rotation that allow the payload to be oriented precisely for robotic picking or ergonomic operator access.

Carrier Plates and Pick & Drop Stands:

Our P&D Stands act as a vital bridge between your fleet and your production line. Engineered to meet your specific AMRs' positioning requirements, ensuring every drop-off is perfectly aligned.

• Modular Flexibility: Unlike fixed conveyors, our stands can be easily reconfigured or relocated as your manufacturing needs change.
• Enhanced Safety: Integrated pallet present switches and infrared handshake protocols provide an extra layer of safety in shared operator-AMR zones.

AMR & AGV Lifts (Small, Medium, Large):

EnKon AMRs or AGVs are fitted with robust low-rise lifts that are essential for bridging the gap at P&D stations where inconsistent stand heights or uneven floors can disrupt automated transfers.

• EnKon offers complete AMRs or AGVs with controls or can outfit existing fleets of various makes & models as needed.
• Electrically driven belt drive or hydraulic scissor lifts that do not bind can withstand higher cycle rates than commonly used “jack-screw” style lifts.
• Adjustable lift travel by application.
• The EnKon Rallet positions loads cycle after cycle.
• Complete controls design & build.

Integrated AMR Solutions in Action

Application 1: Line-side delivery

• The Challenge: Eliminate inconsistent assembly line parts flow and ergonomic risks from operators manually lifting parts bins.
• The EnKon Solution: AMRs deliver parts bins at precise intervals on an EnKon Rallet to a docking station lift. The lift raises the Rallet to an ergonomic height, enabling effortless 360° rotation of the bins.
• The Result: Properly positioned product at the line, maximizing assembly productivity while eliminating manual lifting and resetting.
• Key Benefit: Prevents operator fatigue and on-the-job injury by automating part height and positioning. Operators never have to lift heavy bins manually.

Application 2: Automated conveyor transfer

• The Challenge: Bridging the gap between static conveyor lines and mobile robotic fleets requiring material transfer.
• The EnKon Solution: Heavy-duty, roller-top conveyor scissor lift modules integrated directly onto the AMR fleet to adjust for varying heights.
• The Result: The AMR aligns perfectly with existing conveyor systems to automatically receive or discharge heavy payloads via powered rollers.
• Key Benefit: Zero-touch material handling that eliminates manual labor, improves workplace safety, and keeps automated loops running at maximum efficiency.

Your End-to-End Automation Partner

We do more than manufacture premium support hardware. As a comprehensive integrator, Herkules acts as your single point of contact. We analyze your material workflow, select or build the optimal AMR/AGV platform, and deliver the turnkey docking stations, carrier plates, and scissor lifts needed to complete the loop.

Why Choose EnKon?

We specialize in optimizing the hand-off. By shifting high-travel requirements from the mobile robot to a dedicated docking station lift, we help you maintain a leaner, more stable AMR fleet with longer battery life.

• Integrated Docking Lifts: When your process requires high-vertical travel or precise indexing for an operator, our stationary lift stands provide the power and stability that a mobile robot can't. The robot handles the floor travel; our lifts handle the elevation.
• Controls Integration: We don't just build hardware. EnKon systems can be equipped with sensors and control modules that "talk" to your AMR or AGV fleet, ensuring the lift only moves when the robot is safely docked and the load is secured.
