3.2 General workflow
•
After determining the vehicle data and aligning
the runways, the vehicle is driven onto the main
lift and secured against rolling.
•
The vehicle is raised to the desired height with
the main lift.
•
With optional lifting table :
If a lifting table is used, the manufacturer-
approved pick-up points on the vehicle are
selected and the matching supports are placed
underneath. After adjusting the selector on
the control unit and checking that the weight
distribution is correct, the vehicle is lifted by the
lifting table , and the locking latch then locks.
Only then can work continue in the danger zone.
•
Main lifts and lifting table are fitted with a pneu-
matic locking mechanism.
•
If the lift lowers even slightly, for safety reasons
it automatically moves into the latch bar (locking
latch).
•
After completion of the work, the vehicle is low-
ered again to the ground and driven off.
