Electro-Hydraulic Lever Operated Scissor Lifting Platform
Electro-Hydraulic Lever Operated Scissor Lifting Platform
An electro-hydraulic lever-operated scissor lifting platform which ROBOTIC EQUIPMENTS make available is a type of lifting equipment used to raise and lower heavy loads in a controlled manner. This type of lifting platform combines electrical and hydraulic systems to provide efficient and precise lifting capabilities. Here's a breakdown of the key components and how it operates :
In this type of scissors lift the lifting of the platform is electro hydraulic through electric motor, gear pump & hydraulic cylinder & a lever valve. Electrical power is not needed while lowering the platform. Load capacity in this type ranges from minimum to 2500 kgs. As the operation is electro-hydraulic manual effort required is negligible. Also power is saved while lowering; hence the operating cost is very low.
Properties
- Scissor Mechanism : The lifting platform features a scissor-like structure made up of interconnected metal arms. When pressure is applied to the hydraulic system, these arms extend, causing the platform to rise. Conversely, when the pressure is released, the arms retract, lowering the platform.
- Electrical Control : An electrical control system is used to operate the lifting platform. This typically includes switches, buttons, or a control panel that allows the user to raise or lower the platform as needed. Some models may include remote controls for added convenience.
- Hydraulic System : The hydraulic system plays a crucial role in lifting and lowering the platform. It consists of a hydraulic pump, hydraulic fluid, hoses, and cylinders. When the user activates the controls, the hydraulic pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which is then directed to the hydraulic cylinders. The pressure in the cylinders causes them to extend, lifting the platform.
- Lever Operation : In some designs, a lever-operated mechanism is used to control the hydraulic system. The operator manually engages a lever to control the flow of hydraulic fluid, allowing for precise control of the platform's movement.
- Safety Features : Electro-hydraulic scissor lifting platforms often come equipped with safety features such as emergency stop buttons, overload protection, and safety rails or barriers to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of operators and bystanders.
Applications
- Material Handling : These platforms are commonly used in warehouses and factories for lifting and transporting heavy loads.
- Automotive Maintenance : They are used in automotive repair shops to raise vehicles for maintenance and repairs.
- Construction : Scissor lifts are used on construction sites for tasks like installing windows, painting, and electrical work.
- Loading Docks : They facilitate loading and unloading of goods onto trucks and trailers.
- Warehousing : In distribution centers, scissor lifts help in organizing and accessing inventory stored on high shelves.
