plate

The lifting platform is mounted on a two-part 
base plate 9). Each base plate features a scissor 
mechanism (3), which can be raised and lowered via 
hydraulic cylinders (4). Each scissor mechanism carries 
a lifting table (2), which acts as the load-bearing 
element.

5.8.3 Lifting 

mechanism

Two hydraulic cylinders are attached to each scissor 
strut. When the hydraulic cylinders extend, the scissors 
move up, thereby raising the lifting table.

The synchronized movement of both sides is ensured 
as follows:

 

The scissor struts on both sides are connected by 
transverse bars (5, 6).

 

The two hydraulic cylinders of each scissor strut 
are powered by separate hydraulic circuits. The 
hydraulic cylinders in a circuit are connected in 
parallel. See Fig. 4.

The access ramps help the vehicle to drive on and off 
the lifting table. If required, the access ramps can be 
folded up and locked in place to extend the lifting table.
