We have a new(to us) system of electrically(DC) operated filing system called Link51.
Problems arise when staff operate a push button, not realising a colleague is between already filing(despite warning signs) They pinch rather than squash, but to avoid that has anyone solved this problem via a QUIET stop system?
Kind Regards,Paul Durkin

Hi Paul.
In essence, you must ensure that there are safeguards in place [preferably automatic] to prevent the potential crush of employees, but you know that!
How technical you want to get depends on your perceived consequences and the available budget; but providing purpose designed drop bars that automatically fall to the horizontal at floor level when the gap is big enough for the smallest potential person to be able to enter [about 60cm] would be a good start. These will, of course, have to be manually lifted back once access to that aisle is no longer required.
Have fun. Frank Hallett

Why not ask Link51 to review the situation. Perhaps the installation of a key switch would be handy. If the user of the racking carries the key it would stop others from operating the system

Thanks Frank & Red,
We have the guy from Link 51 visitng us again next week,he cannot understand why ONLY US feel the pinch(no pun !!)
One suggestion he made was a token system that staff using the files carry. It will be interesting to compare this with the suggested key system.
Kind Regards,Paul Durkin

hi Paul.
I don't bet - but I have serious doubts about your organisation being the only one with the problem!! Standard ploy to make you feel that it's your fault and not the provider/installer. The system should have come ready fitted with the necessary mechanisms to prevent the aisles moving whilst someone is accessing them; whether it's because someone tries to access another part or simply leans on a rack!
If you wish to go the more expensive, yet far more effective, end of the control spectrum; you could get the system fitted for proximity fob actuation.
This will ensure that users are automatically protected as their aisle will be locked by their proximity fob actuating the braking systems which should have been fitted in the first place and also release the system as they leave without the individual having to do anything.
Good luck Frank Hallett
