Lifts and aerial work platforms are versatile pieces of lifting machinery available in various configurations, including stationary, mobile, guide-rail, articulated boom, scissor, and chain-driven models, as well as loading docks.
The guide-rail hydraulic freight lift is a non-scissor type of hydraulic lift. It features heavy-duty chain drive mechanisms supplemented by steel wire ropes for safety redundancy and utilizes explosion-proof hydraulic hoses. Safety features include overload protection, multiple limit switches, automatic power-off upon door opening, leakage protection, and interlocks between floors. Consequently, guide-rail hydraulic freight lifts offer a significantly higher safety factor than standard freight elevators, making them widely used equipment for the vertical transport of goods.
