2.1.
Utilization and application
The pit lift is designed exclusively for the vertical lifting of motor
vehicles over assembly pits, with a max. axle load corresponding to the
max. lifting capacity of the lift.
The lift must be commissioned by a competent and trained person. The
design of the lift may not be modified in any way.
The load raised using the lift must be supported using suitable support
systems. ERICH SOMMERER GmbH also provides these support
systems.
►
For FKE-FV:
When working under lifts with drive-on rails, always
observe the shift in center of gravity when lifting axles or body parts.
When the counterweight of the axle is not on the rail, the lifting
platform can become overloaded or the stability can be reduced.
►
Always comply with the detailed operating and maintenance
instructions.
2.2.
Description of design and functions
These electrohydraulic pit lifts are designed for lifting motor vehicles
above assembly pits. The pit lift can be moved lengthways and cross
-
ways in the pit.
The pit lift HKE consists essentially of a supporting plate with axles
and running rollers. The lifting cylinder is welded to the midpoint of the
supporting plate. A base plate is welded underneath the lifting cylinder.
At FKE, the base plate is connected to the chassis. The control is per
-
formed using an UP push button installed on the lift and an UP-DOWN
button lowering valve.
The piston rod and guide are built into the lifting cylinder. At the top, the
piston rod has a hole drilled to take holding devices. An attached sup
-
port plate serves as the load bearing device. Other suitable supports
can be attached for special load application points on vehicles (see
accessories).
The hydraulic aggregate is located at the rear of the cylinder. For vehic
-
les that have to be lifted at two points, attachable cross members must
be used (see accessories: axle cross beams, support systems).
