Exploring the Mechanics and Functionality of Hydraulic Scissor Lifts Are you constantly wondering what is a hydraulic scissor lift? Hydraulic scissors lifts are the type of man lift that uses a mechanism of interlocking, folding supports in a crisscross pattern, resembling a pair of scissors. Hydraulic scissor lifts in India are commonly employed in industries and construction sites to provide temporary access to heights for maintenance, installation, and repair tasks. Hydraulic Scissor Lift Components Commonly hydraulic scissor lift consists of components including: ● Scissor Lift Platform: The platform comes in multiple sizes, forms and materials. This is the working area that keeps a load of workers and objects while working and is also known as a scissor lift table. ● Scissor Legs: The legs are the crisscross arrays connected with the platform with the base. The maximum working height of a scissor lift mechanism is determined by the length of each or the number of scissor legs in the mechanism. ● Scissor Lift Cylinder: A hydraulic scissor lift commonly connects one or four cylinders. These cylinders are filled with hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic cylinder lowers the scissor legs and platform by the increase and decreasing pressure. ● Scissor Lift Base: The base of a hydraulic scissor lift provides stability and support for the lifting mechanism. It typically consists of a sturdy framework or structure that houses the hydraulic components and supports the platform. ● Scissor Lift Power Source: Several power sources are used to power the hydraulic scissor lift, including a self-contained motor that works on the hydraulic fluid. ● Scissor Lift Down Valve: The down valve returns the hydraulic fluid to its reservoir. The down valve controls the descent pace and is connected to the power supply. ● Scissor Lift Flow Control Valve: The flow control valve regulates the rate of fluid leaving or returning to the reservoir cylinder, thus controlling the speed of ascent or descent of the scissor lift. Working of Hydraulic Scissor Lift Hydraulic scissor lift working is based on the properties and actions of hydraulic fluid used to fill cylinder or cylinders. A system of pushbuttons, levers, and valves controls the circulation of hydraulic fluid. For instance, when lowering the scissor legs, a down valve releases the fluid from the cylinder at a controlling rate locking the legs.
