General risks for lifting or descent

The following safety equipments are used to protect over loading or the possibility of engine failure.

In the condition of over loading, the over-falling valve will open and directly return oil to the oil tank.

Each bottom of oil cylinder is equipped with antiknock and locked valve(optional). When the oil pipe is burst in the circuit of hydraulic pressure, the relevant antiknock and locked valve will work and limit the speediness of platform.

Safety tooth and gear module are parts which guarantee the safety of personnel beneath the machine in failure condition of other protections.

So make sure the integrity of gear module and that the safety tooth has occluded completely.

There is nothing abnormal should be left on the safety modules to prevent safety gear from occlude normally.

Risk for extrusion

During up and down operations, personnel leave the said area without following the rule and instruction.

During up and down operations, no person is admitted to work beneath the movable parts of the lift, should work in the safe zone.

Risk of impact

Before the operator begins up and down movements, make sure that there are no personnel inside the danger zone. When, due to operational reasons, the lift is stopped at relatively low elevations (lower than 1.75m above the ground) personnel must be careful to avoid impact with parts of the machine not marked with special colors.

Risk of falling (vehicle)

This hazard may arise in the case of incorrect positioning of the vehicle on the platforms, overweight of the vehicle, or in the case of vehicles of dimensions that are not compatible with the capacity of the lift.

With a double scissor lift, you will find efficiency and productivity. Plus, double scissor car lifts are safer and more reliable than standard scissor lifts.

Pros of Double Scissor Lifts:

• Ideal for tire rotations and brakes: The scissor lift provides flexible access to tires and surrounding areas, especially when lifted to precise ergonomic heights.

• Easy loading and unloading: The parallel approach ramps and synchronized
lifting make driving on, lifting, and releasing a vehicle a smooth procedure.

• Multiple installation options: Our scissor lift can be installed above ground or flush mount, whichever is more convenient for your facility.
