FAQs

How do MicroDocks and dockable hardware connect? add remove

Easily! Guide tracks on dockable hardware, including FlexCarts, align with MicroDock guideposts. When aligned, externally mounted locating pins will create a positive stop to indicate proper positioning. The MicroDock is then activated by depressing the food switch. Power, gas, and communications will then flow between the MicroDock and devices on the dockable hardware.

How does dockable hardware disconnect from MicroDock? add remove

Easily! With the MicroDock in the actuated or up position, depress the foot switch once to retract the connection slides and decouple the MicroDock and dockable hardware. The hardware may then be safely wheeled away from the MicroDock.
