Electric lifts are devices driven by electricity that achieve vertical transportation of personnel or goods through hydraulic or mechanical transmission. Their applications cover construction, industrial, commercial, and household fields, with the core value of improving operational efficiency and safety. The following is a systematic introduction:

 

I. Core Types and Applicable Scenarios

1. Aerial Work Platforms  

   - Scissor-type: Suitable for indoor and outdoor high-altitude operations (such as maintenance and installation) on flat ground, with high stability.  

   - Articulated/Straight Boom-type: Can cross obstacles with higher flexibility, used in building exterior construction, tree pruning, etc.  

   - Mast-type: Small space occupation, suitable for operations in narrow spaces between warehouse shelves.  

 

2. Cargo Lifts  

   Specifically designed for heavy goods with large load capacity, commonly used in logistics scenarios such as factories, warehouses, and docks.  

 

3. Construction Hoists  

   Attached to the exterior of buildings, used for transporting personnel and building materials in high-rise construction, with high load and high-altitude operation capabilities.  

 

4. Home Elevators  

   Focus on aesthetics and safety, providing barrier-free vertical access in residential buildings, suitable for the elderly and people with mobility difficulties.  

 

5. Auxiliary Equipment  

   - Hydraulic Loading/Unloading Platforms: Installed at freight docks to adjust the height difference between trucks and warehouse floors for convenient loading and unloading.  

   - Disabled Lifting Platforms: Designed specifically for wheelchair users to solve vertical access problems of stairs and steps.  

 

II. Working Principles and Technical Characteristics

- Hydraulic Transmission: The motor drives the oil pump to deliver hydraulic oil, pushing the cylinder piston to lift the platform. It has the advantages of stable operation and strong load capacity, widely used in scissor-type equipment.  

- Traction/Chain Transmission: The motor reels steel wire ropes or chains to pull the platform up and down, suitable for high-rise operations (such as construction hoists) with high lifting efficiency.  

 

Power sources can be AC power (stable and continuous), batteries (flexible and emission-free), or diesel engines (for high-intensity outdoor operations), and users should choose according to the scenario.

 

III. Safety Specifications and Operation Requirements

1. Qualifications and Training: Operators must be trained and certified before.  

2. Daily Inspection: Before use, verify the integrity of the hydraulic system, safety devices (such as emergency stop buttons, limit switches), and structural components.  

3. Operation Specifications:  

   - Overloading and over-height operation are strictly prohibited.  

   - Ensure the ground is flat and solid, and avoid windy, thunderstorm weather for outdoor operations.  

   - Safety belts must be worn for high-altitude operations.  

4. Regular Maintenance: Conduct professional maintenance according to the manufacturer's requirements to extend equipment life and eliminate hidden dangers.  

 

IV. Key Factors for Purchase

1. Clarify Requirements: Determine the purpose (carrying people/cargo), platform size, rated load, and target height.  

2. Environmental Adaptation: For indoor use, prioritize battery or AC-powered equipment; for outdoor areas without electricity, consider diesel models.  

3. Mobility and Space: For frequent movement, choose self-propelled models with casters; check the size of access doors to ensure the equipment can pass through.  

4. Safety Certification: Confirm that the product meets national standards (such as GB, CE) to ensure the quality bottom line.  

5. Service Support: Select suppliers that provide installation, training, and after-sales maintenance to reduce long-term use costs.  

 

The selection of electric lifts requires comprehensive consideration of actual scenarios and technical parameters, prioritizing the balance between safety and efficiency. For specific application requirements (such as maximum lifting height and load capacity), more precise models can be further matched.
