CHAPTER 4 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LIFT DESCRIPTION
(Ref. Figure 2)
The lift is suitable for lifting motor vehicles having maximum weight as described in the nameplate on
the power side column of the lift.
All mechanical parts have been built in steel plate to make the frame stiff and strong while keeping a
low weight.
The electro hydraulic operation is described in detail in chapter 8.
This chapter describes the lift’s principal elements, allowing the user to be familiar with the machine.
As shown in figure 2, the lift is composed of four columns: N.1 power-side column (1), N.3 off-side
columns (2 ), two platforms: the power -side platform (3) and the off -side platform (4), and two
transverse beams (6), and one jacking beam(5)anchored to the ground by means of the column base
plates.
Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on the power unit (7) to operate a power
unit delivering the hydraulic fluid to cylinders to act on cable lifting system.
Lowering motion is controlled by pushing the lowering lever on the power unit and carried out under
the weight of the load lifted.
The automatic mechanical back- up safety (9) holds on the lift in the elevated position and the slack
cable safety (8) in event of cable slackening and/or failure.
