Electric Heavy Duty Hydraulic Scissor Lifts

Heavy Duty electro hydraulic scissor lifts rank among the most powerful material handling tools Easy Rack carries. These products are needed for loads weighing from 15,000 LB up to 120,000 LB. Like all scissor lifts, electro hydraulic units are intended to keep heavy materials at a stable, consistent elevation for safe access and efficient operations to be performed. They are frequently used by telephone companies, lumber companies, and air craft engine companies to elevate materials for manipulation, moving, or service work.

Oftentimes electro hydraulic scissor lifts are buried in the ground and used to facilitate the unloading an loading of tractor trailers. Two hydraulic scissor lifts will be spaced apart at the exact same distance as the front and rear wheels on a tractor/trailer. The lift will be flush to the ground when it is the elevated position. When the truck is ready for loading, it will be “parked” with both sets of wheels centered on either electro hydraulic lift. The lift tables will then be lowered, locking the truck in place and making the trailer bed flush to the ground.

This allows work crews to drive fork trucks directly into the trailer without it wobbling to either side. Workers can also move barrels and containers that hold sensitive materials and flammable liquids safely into the trailer with minimal risk of spillage or injury. Nuclear power plants often use electro hydraulic scissor lifts to secure trucks that are used to haul off nuclear wastes.

Of course, electro hydraulic scissor lifts are not always buried in this fashion. Many times they are used to elevate heavy engines in tractor companies to work platforms where technicians and welders can work from a standing position rather than having to work from a ladder, or actually climb on top of the engine and risk a fall. The larger the lift; the more weight it will safely elevate, and the higher it can be raised.

Because these machines are extremely heavy duty and engineered for maximum strength and stability, they have a design safety factor of 3 to 1. Each electrohydraulic lift features an externally powered motor ranging from 5 to 15 hp, depending on the lift model and size. Motors are controlled from an up/down push button control on the end of a 20 ft cord. Each motor includes an adjustable upper travel limit switch that automatically shuts off the motor and pump at the desired pre-set height. Two secondary, mechanical upper travel back-up stops provide an additional safeguard against over extension.

If necessary, workers can also stand on hydraulic scissor lifts safety. The man lift platforms are supported by rectangular structural tube scissor legs and torque tubes that maintain maximum horizontal and longitudinal stability and minimize deflection when the unit is supporting huge loads and/or workers. Toe guards along the edges of the platform provide a standard, yet very important, safety buffer against accidental slips and falls.

Heavy duty scissor lifts are built with a number of additional safety and mechanical features that are engineered to ensure stability, safe operation, durability under extreme stress for long periods of time, and reliable performance of all unit components for the duration of the unit’s lifespan.
