HyTile Stop & Go Switch – Upper & Lower Units
The HyTile Stop & Go Switch is a vital safety component engineered for HyTile Cable Hoists and Belt Elevators. Designed to regulate tile flow and protect against overload, this switch instantly halts elevator movement when tiles reach the top or bottom, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Purpose & Benefits
- Prevents overload – halts the trolley when tiles have reached the top, avoiding spills or damage.
- Controls flow – lower switch stops the trolley when the bottom loading point is reached, enhancing safety during tile loading.
- Streamlines workflow – enables tilers to work at their own pace without the need for manual stops.
- Boosts safety – minimises risks of runaway trolley or tile spill in malpositioned scenarios.
How It Works
On Cable Hoists: once the trolley reaches the top, the upper switch is triggered, stopping the drive motor until tiles are removed (“Stop”). As the operator clears the load, the switch resets (“Go”). A lower switch performs similarly during ground-level loading.
On Belt Elevators: the same functionality prevents belt overrun or idle spinning by stopping the system once tiles clear the top loading area.
Why Choose HyTile Switches
- Compatible across all HyTile models, including folding Belt Elevators (6.7 m and 9.7 m lengths) and 1–4 section Cable Hoists (4.8 m to 15.8 m) onestoproofing.com.au+10hytile.com.au+10oacsupplies.com.au+10oacsupplies.com.au
- Designed for job-site durability, able to handle the dusty, gritty conditions of roofing work
- Seamless replacement – plugs straight into existing control systems, with no conversion required
Installation & Maintenance
- Power down the elevator system before servicing.
- Remove the existing switch and install the replacement unit in the upper or lower mounting position.
- Connect control wiring as per HyTile wiring schematic.
- Test the trolley with tiles to confirm correct opening/closing operation at both travel limits.
- Inspect switches periodically and replace if mechanical wear is evident.
The HyTile Stop & Go Switch is essential for safe, effective operation of roofing elevators—providing automated tile handling, overload protection, and process control. Available in upper and lower versions, each unit offers great value and professional-grade reliability. Ideal for tradies looking to maintain or upgrade their HyTile system—order one or both to ensure consistent, controlled performance across all elevator platforms.
