LIFT (Rif. Figure 2)
The lift has been designed to lift motor-vehicles and make them stand at any level between the
minimum and maximum height..
The maximum lifting weight, including any additional load on the vehicle, is as specified on the
serial plate
All mechanical frames, such as platforms, extensions, base frames and arms have been built in
steel plate to make the frame stiff and strong while keeping a low weight
The electro hydraulic operation it will be described in detail more later.
This chapter describes the lift showing the principal elements, so allowing the user to be familiar
with the machine.
As shown in figure 2, the lift is composed of two platforms, the platform 1 (1) and the platform 2
(2) anchored to the ground by means of two base frames (3).
The lift is equipped with drive-up and drive-down (7) ramps, placed at both ends, for easy access
of the vehicle which is lifted by placing the vehicle frame on four rubber pads,
Platforms are linked to the base frame by means of a scissors lifting system (5) and (6).
Platforms, 1450 mm long, can reach a length of 2100 mm with two extractable extensions (4) to
allow longer wheel base vehicles to be lifted
The lifting system of each platform is composed of two arms, one inside (5) and one outside (6)
arms, as well as a pair of cylinders, one primary and one secondary cylinder
Motion is transmitted from the cylinder to the arms directly.
Lift lowering and lifting are carried out by means of a control box (8) (fixed to the ground) placed
next to the lift.
