Lifting a Terminal Enclosure in Below Ground Applications

摘要

A fiber distribution terminal system includes a below ground vault (110), and a terminal enclosure (150) positioned within the vault. The system also includes a lift system (200) positioned within the vault, the lift system (200) including at least one torsion member (340), wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from a lifted position to a below ground position, the torsion member stores potential energy, and wherein, as the terminal enclosure is pivoted from the below ground position to the lifted position, the torsion member releases the potential energy to assist in pivoting the terminal enclosure to the lifted position.
