Operating Procedures for Elevators/Lifts

May 19, 2026

1. Proper preparation is essential for operating the lifting platform; select a level surface. If the ground is soft or uneven, appropriate ground stabilization measures must be taken before commencing work.


2. During the rotation of the lifting platform, the unit must be rotated before the lower arm is fully raised, and the rotation should be performed slowly. Ensure that the clearance between the scissor arms, the platform, and other equipment meets safety requirements. In cases where procedures conflict with national or industry regulations, the national or industry standards shall prevail.


3. Operators on the working platform must wear safety harnesses. When working in areas with live electrical equipment, operations must be conducted in accordance with established protocols, and lifting movements should be directed by a designated supervisor.


4. If the lift's power system fails to start, the most common cause is often that the main switch has not been turned on-a simple issue that is frequently overlooked.


5. Screws that are either too loose or too tight often go unnoticed but pose significant safety hazards. Therefore, it is crucial to pay close attention to this aspect during the daily use of the lift to ensure safety.
