Manual Hydraulic Operated Scissor Lifting Platform
A manual hydraulic operated scissor lifting platform is a mechanical device designed to raise and lower objects or individuals vertically using a scissor-like mechanism powered by hydraulic pressure. These platforms are commonly used in various industrial, commercial, and warehouse settings to facilitate material handling, maintenance, and access to elevated areas.
In this type of scissors lift the lifting of the platform is done through manual hydraulic hand pump and hydraulic cylinder. Electrical power is not necessary for lifting as well as lowering the platform. Load capacity in this type ranges from minimum to 500 kgs. As the operation is manual hydraulic hence operating cost is very low. Available in stationary as well as mobile modes.
We ROBOTIC EQUIPMENTS introduce Manual Hydraulic Scissor Lifting Platform with following components :
- Scissor Mechanism : The core of the lifting platform consists of interconnected scissor arms that extend and retract. When hydraulic pressure is applied, these arms move, causing the platform to either rise or descend.
- Hydraulic System : Our manual hydraulic system comprises a hydraulic pump, hydraulic fluid reservoir, control valve, and hydraulic hoses. When the operator manually activates the hydraulic pump (usually by pumping a handle or lever), it pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which is then directed to the scissor mechanism to initiate the lifting or lowering motion.
- Platform : The platform is the surface on which the load or individuals are placed. It is attached to the top of the scissor mechanism.
How our Manual Hydraulic Scissor Lifting Platform Operates :
- Initial Position : In its resting or lowered position, the scissor arms are typically fully retracted, and the platform is close to the ground.
- Hydraulic Pumping : The operator manually pumps the hydraulic pump handle, which sends hydraulic fluid under pressure into the scissor mechanism.
- Scissor Extension : As hydraulic pressure builds, it causes the scissor arms to extend, lifting the platform vertically. The operator continues pumping until the desired height is reached.
- Load Handling : The load or individuals can be placed on the platform during or after the lifting process.
- Lowering : To lower the platform, the operator typically activates a control valve or releases the hydraulic pressure by operating a lever or knob. This action allows hydraulic fluid to flow back to the reservoir, allowing the scissor arms to retract and lower the platform.
Key Features and Considerations
- Manual operation : These platforms are manually operated, which means that the operator must physically pump the hydraulic pump handle to lift the platform.
- Load Capacity : Manual hydraulic scissor lifting platforms come in various load capacity ratings to accommodate different types of loads, from small items to heavy machinery.
- Mobility : Some models are equipped with wheels or casters, making them easy to move within a workspace.
- Safety : Proper training and safety measures are essential when operating these platforms to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of users.
- Maintenance : Regular maintenance, including hydraulic fluid checks and component inspections, is necessary to ensure the platform's reliable operation.
