Scissor lifts, crocodile lifts, pallet lifts, arm lifts, vehicle lifts. Mechanical and hydraulic, from very small to exceptionally high load capacities. There are many different types of lifts, so in this article we will try to help you navigate the wide selection.
Mechanical scissor lifts
The best known. a widely used type of lifting.
Most from boot of motor vehicles next to the spare wheel or puncture repair kit.
Its application is very simple and self-explanatory. During wheel replacement placed under the appropriate lifting point of the car, the lift opens and lifts the body by winding the folding lever.
Before use you should always make sure that it has the right load capacity for the car and pay particular attention to the safety rules must be observed: lift on a flat surface and make sure that the handbrake is engaged and the wheels are properly supported to prevent the car from tipping or rolling.
Crocodile lifters
Well-equipped garages, service stations, rubber and car repair workshops an essential accessory.
It gets its name from the fact that, when viewed from the side, it looks like a looks like a crocodile.
More advanced than mechanical lifts, the hydraulic version is the most common. A hydraulic lift can multiply the manual force and works on a very simple principle.
They are usually made up of a smaller and a larger cross-section cylinder (working cylinder) connected by a tube. The system is always filled with liquid, which may be water for simple lifts or oil or a special fluid for more heavy lifts.
By manually pumping the lift arm into the smaller working cylinder piston for the liquid into the larger cylinder, thus increasing the pressure and achieving expansion.
Manual pumping for higher capacity lifts compressor or pump can be replaced by connecting.
Pallet lifters („frogs”)
A special type of hydraulic lift, specially designed for handling pallets.
The two long arms, rolling on wheels, can be slid under the pallets and then using hydraulics the load can be lifted and easily moved by hand.
Stores, warehouses a familiar tool that everyone is used to.
Tiller lifts, car lifts
The car lifts are specially designed for workshops, with the complete vehicle the uplifting kind.
Usually electrically powered, compressor driven lifts, which lift the car by support brackets fixed under the four wheels.
Specific types of the tentacle engine or gearbox pulleys, in which manual or electric chain hoists work during the vertical movement of the load.
Platform lifts, hydraulic scissor lifts
A hydraulic scissor lifts are excellent for safely lifting heavy loads.
This type of hydraulic lift is the moving the platform hydraulic cylinders.
Since table size, number of shears and hydraulics installed, the sinkability and the possible rotation of the cranes, which were designed and built by Eco-Cranes Ltd. hydraulic lifts provide a solution for almost all lifting needs.
We hope that we have provided you with some useful information about the hoists. However, if you have further questions, or ask for a quote for installation, for operation or for repair, our staff are at your disposal.
