Things to know about Industrial Scissor Lift


 

Industries need a reliable platform for material handling and lift them to maximum heights. They are widely used in warehouses, transport industries, mechanic shops, construction, food processing, and the chemical industry. NIHVA offers the optimum quality scissor lifts manufactured using advanced machinery and the latest technology. Our facility is reliable, safe, and provides long-term operations. They work on the principle of Pascal's law and are an ideal facility for vertical movement. Our facilities are widely acknowledged in the automation industry as they offer consistent ways and synchronize technological and industrial processes.

In this blog, we will discuss the different parts and types of scissor lifts.

Parts of Scissor Lift

1. Platform

It is the apex of the lift table where lifted items are placed. According to the model, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. It is designed with rails used to transport humans and lifts without rails transport elements. They facilitate a steady surface for positioning goods.

2. Base

It is the lift's bottom part whose configuration depends on the model type. It supports the movement of the equipment both horizontally and vertically. Manufactured with rigid metal, they are integrated with tracks to oversee rollers at the base of the scissor legs.

3. Scissor Legs

The platform can adjust elevation using the scissor legs. They maintain the upward and downward movement of the lift using the crisscross metallic frames. When compressed they raise the platform and lower it during platform expansion. During the movement, a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid is used, and during downward movement, pressure is discharged from the cylinder.

4. Power Source

The power source is determined by evaluating the energy required to power the lifting operation of the lift. The hydraulic pump in the scissor lift is powered through electricity, compressed air, hydraulic, and diesel to activate the lift table.

5. Down Valve

Used to regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid or compressed air by pushing it back to the source container. It is done to prevent the quick decline of the scissor lift. Activated using the power source and lowers the lift table.

Types of Scissor Lift

1. Hydraulic Scissor Lift

Such lifts are powered using compressed air or electric motor and used both indoor and outdoor. Functions when the liquid is transferred from one cylinder to another which allows the lift to move upwards and downwards. Ensure easy operation and is mostly used in construction sites and warehouses.

2. Electric Scissor Lift

Operate using an electric battery and are the most ideal type of scissor lift. Suitable for indoor use, they are compact, light-weighted, as they do not release loud noises or smoke. Possess contracted platforms to operate in strained areas. Have a power-driven mechanism, inhibits floor damage, and is environmentally friendly.

3. Pneumatic Scissor Lift

The lifting mechanism completely operates on air without the need for hydraulics or electrics. Require little or zero maintenance and it does not release hazardous gases into the environment. The environmentally friendly scissor lifts are a reliable choice to reduce the carbon footprint. Particularly used in food processing industries and warehouses.

4. Diesel Scissor Lift

Operate on diesel fuel and release smoke into the environment. They are not environment friendly and produce noise while functioning. NIHVA's scissor lifts are available with substantial platforms which make them operational for external areas. A greater aerial platform is possible due to massive designing features.

5. Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

Installed in outdoor areas and provide greater power for enhanced productivity. Powered by liquid propane, diesel, and gas. Integrated with an internal combustion engine and used in extensive construction sites. Come with a safety mechanism that makes them operational in extreme weather conditions, slopes, and rough surfaces.

The convenience of Automatic Retractable Sliding Roofs

Image
  How often have you wished to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your space? Automatic retractable roof structures grant this wish for you. When installed, it protects the indoors from harsh weather conditions while allowing benefits of light and aesthetically pleasing views. We had earlier discussed the benefits of sliding roofs. This blog explores the convenience of automatic retractable roofs. How do Retractable roofs work Retractable roof structures have complete or partial movable elements. It has a folding mechanism so that the building has an open or closed roof. It allows people to conduct various activities in closed areas. Further, it serves a dual purpose, one of enjoyment of the outdoors within secure and relaxing indoor atmosphere. Retractable roofs are of different types based on the movement of the roof structures. They are rotating, sliding, folding, lifting, expendable, and combined systems. Rigid roof structures which weigh tons are moved or folded in a few m...

A Complete Guide to Telescopic Conveyor

Image
 Facilities to transport the material are a primary need in the warehouse or manufacturing plant. Transportation of materials could be done through various ways; usage of telescopic conveyors is one of them. Telescopic conveyors are used for loading & unloading cartons, boxes, and bags into or from containers and trucks. They are an effective automated solution for material handling equipment. It reduces the need for manual handling of equipment. They provide quick turnaround times and reduce the loading & unloading time. Also known as extendable conveyors or cantilevered booms, they are ideal to exercise in large-sized logistics areas. Integrated with a frame to support wheels, belts, or rollers using which the materials are transported from one place to another. It's one end remains fixed and the other can be retracted. They are mobile and have an adjustable length.  NIHVA manufactures and supplies telescopic conveyors designed with high-quality raw material and c...
