Scissor car lift with platform guardrail

Application and chief introduction

A scissor car lift is a type of vehicle lift that uses a scissor-like mechanism to raise and lower cars, trucks, or other vehicles. These lifts are widely used in automotive repair shops, garages, and parking systems due to their compact design, stability, and versatility.

The Scissor lift is widely used in many fields due to its portability and efficiency:

• ‌Construction and Maintenance‌: Used for cleaning, maintenance and repair of building exterior walls. Operators can safely lift to the required height to work.

• ‌Industrial Field‌: In factories and warehouses, scissor lift are used to carry and assemble items at high places, such as replacing light bulbs and installing equipment.

• ‌Event Management‌: In large-scale events, such as concerts and exhibitions, scissor ladders are used to quickly build and dismantle stage and lighting equipment.

• ‌Emergency rescue‌: Small scissor lift equipped on fire trucks and ambulances are used to rescue victims at heights, such as trapped people at the scene of a car accident.

• ‌Aviation and railway maintenance‌: During the maintenance of aircraft and trains, scissor lift are used to reach mechanical parts and power systems at heights.

Basic feature and advantage

Flexbile size designing

The scissor lift platform size and shape designing is flexible, it can fit in different site to meet customer's more requirements. Whether it is a round, square or other special shape platform, the scissor lift can easily achieve.

Small shaft designnig

The scissor-type lifting mechanism is adopted to achieve vertical lifting through the folding and telescoping of the cross steel beams. The structure is compact, and the height and floor space are significantly reduced after folding, which can maximize the use of space. Hydraulic scissor lifts maximize space utilization in many fields such as industry and commerce through scissor structure folding, mobile configuration and targeted maintenance solutions, becoming an ideal choice for narrow working environments.

Hydraulic cargo lift using is more adapt to the envirenment

No dedicated shaft or machine room is required, and it can be directly installed indoors or outdoors. It is particularly suitable for the renovation of old buildings or warehouses and workshops with limited space. The scissor lift has a low height after folding, and can pass through standard doorways and elevators, and is suitable for basements, narrow passages, etc.

Easy and low cost maintenance

Maintenance measures such as foundation leveling and hydraulic system leakage prevention ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment and avoid additional space occupation due to failures. The design facilitates the replacement of parts and reduces the interference with the surrounding space during maintenance. The modular design simplifies the maintenance process, requiring only regular replacement of hydraulic oil (annual maintenance cost of approximately RMB 300-400) and lubrication and dust prevention.

Platform size and capacity's flexibly fitness

Hydraulic scissor lifts do not require counterweights, have compact structures, and are more flexible in matching load and car size, making them suitable for scenarios with limited space. With the hydraulic drive system, the platform size is less restricted by the shaft, and a more compact platform can be designed under the same load

Details

Production details explanation

Lift structure

Main structure‌:

High-strength steel is used, with a scissor-type cross arm (X-shaped hinge structure) as the core, and the vertical lifting function is achieved through a multi-layer folding arm to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the platform‌.

The base is a welded steel structure, which can be adapted to a single-sided load-bearing wall or a shaft-free installation, reducing civil engineering requirements‌.

‌Material and protection‌:

The arm is made of seamless rectangular tubes or channel steel, with a galvanized or sprayed anti-corrosion layer on the surface to improve weather resistance‌;

Some models are equipped with anti-collision guards or buffer devices to reduce mechanical collision damage‌.

Hydraulic system

Power unit‌:

It consists of a hydraulic pump station (including motor, oil tank, oil pump), oil cylinder, and oil pipe. The hydraulic pump drives the oil cylinder piston to extend and retract through pressure oil to push the scissor arm up and down.‌

Adopting a one-way oil cylinder design, the oil pump pressurizes and supplies oil when rising, and relies on deadweight to release pressure when descending, with low energy consumption.‌

‌Control and safety protection‌:

The flow direction and flow rate of the oil are precisely controlled through electromagnetic reversing valves, balance valves, and hydraulically controlled one-way valves.‌

Integrated speed limit cut-off valves, overflow valves, and oil temperature protection devices to prevent loss of control due to overload, oil pipe rupture, or abnormal temperature.‌

Electric system

Control Center‌：

The main controller integrates PLC or microprocessor to achieve lifting speed adjustment, leveling positioning and fault diagnosis‌;

Supports multi-point operation (such as in the car, between floors, remote control), improving flexibility‌.

‌Safety Monitoring‌：

Equipped with overload alarm switch, limit switch and emergency stop button, real-time monitoring of operating status‌;

When power is off, the backup battery is automatically activated, and the manual pressure relief valve is used to achieve slow descent and self-rescue‌.

Finishes parts

Our hydraulic lift cabins offer a range of manual options and finishes tailored to meet specific requirements. We provide three models: Model A is only a platform without any guardrails, when lift down to the ground floor, it's completely in same level with ground floor wihout any blocks. Model B is a platform with a height of approximately 800~1200mm, constructed with durable steel mesh for robust performance. Model C is a fully enclosed cabin with steel mesh, featuring holes less than 30x30mm in diameter to comply with EU safety standards, ensuring operator safety and protection. Lastly, Model D is a luxurious stainless steel or painted steel board cabin adorned with LED lights and a light curtain, not only enhancing safety but also providing rain and dust resistance for optimal comfort and reliability in all conditions.

Safety system

Emergency stop system

We designed an emergency button for the hydraulic cargo lift, ensuring that in the event of any unexpected issues, users can swiftly press it to halt the lift's operation abruptly, safeguarding the lift's structure, cargo, and operator's safety.

Additionally, we incorporated platform safety sensors using infrared light curtains. If any item loaded on the platform falls out of the platform door, the lift will immediately stop, ensuring the safety of both the lift and personnel.

The lift doors can be secured using door safety sensor limit switches, door-touching locks, or electromagnetic locks, meaning the lift can only operate when all doors are securely closed. During normal operation, if any door is opened, the lift will stop immediately, guaranteeing the safety of both the hydraulic cargo lift and its users.

Hydraulic explosion-proof valve system

Each cylinder unit of our lifts is equipped with an explosion-proof valve, incorporating an additional safety feature to bolster the reliability of the hydraulic system. During the operational process, if there is any unexpected malfunction, such as a ruptured oil hose, a disrupted hydraulic route, or an abrupt oil leakage, the lift will promptly halt its descent. This sophisticated design ensures the comprehensive safety of both the lift and the valuable cargo it carries, providing peace of mind and assurance of protection.

Oil pressure overflow valve

Installed in the valve block of the pump station, the pressure overflow valve functions as a safety mechanism. When the lift is overloaded and the pump and mechanical device fail to operate smoothly during loading or unloading, the oil pressure increases excessively. This triggers the pump mechanical device to overflow, automatically diverting hydraulic oil from the pump valve to the oil tank. This protection feature of the pump station ensures safety in the event of oil pressure overload.

Door safety sensors

Tebo brand hydraulic cargo lifts utilize door safety sensors to guarantee safety. This means that each set of landing doors, platform doors, and cabin doors is equipped with at least one door safety limit switch. The electrical diagram is designed in the form of a safety loop for the door sensors, ensuring that all doors must be securely closed for the lift to function. In the event that any door is forcibly opened, the lift will immediately stop. The lift can only operate normally when all cabin doors and landing doors of the cargo elevator are fully closed and securely latched.
