Lift Description
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
such as columns, carriages, and lift arms 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 fi gure 2, the lift is composed of two columns: power-side column
(1) and off-side column (2) with the extension (3) on each, each equipped with
a carriage (4) and a pair of lifting arms (5) with the adaptor (6) anchored to the
ground by means of the column base. The overhead beam (7) is equipped with
the anti-crush safety bar and an overhead cut-off switch for protection of the
vehicle roof. Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on the
power unit (8), which
delivers the hydraulic
fl uid to cylinders
inside the columns.
The mechanical safety
release is carried out
by pushing the lock
release lever (9) on
the power-side column.
Lowering motion is
controlled by pushing
the lowering lever on
the power unit and
carried out under the
weight of the load lifted.
The synchronization
is controlled by the
equalizer cables. The
arm locks can be
engaged automatically
when the lift is raised.
