Mobile lift tables are increasing in popularity in many assembly and repair operations for a number of reasons, but using this flexible material handling device must be approached correctly, and with your eyes open. They provide more flexible use (move them where you want them) in everything from printing or assembly industries to pallet breakdowns in distribution. They&#;re great for flexible production lines or lean manufacturing lines or work cells where the ability to lift and move something is at a premium &#; in particular if you need to frequently reconfigure work areas.

Obviously, a lift table you can roll to where you need it is highly desirable, but what does that mobility cost you? And when should you choose stationary lift table over mobile?

Collapsed height makes a difference

We often see applications where the collapsed height of a lift table is the critical dimension, since it must match a conveyor line or other handling equipment. Portable lift tables trade that low collapsed height for portability. Low profiles can be extremely important. When you mount scissor lifts on wheels, you create several inches of new height that can&#;t be retracted. The collapsed height factor is so important that many lift manufacturers have specific, low-profile lift table lines that get down to 1.9&#; just to ensure they can meet the demand for very low profiles. We have actually installed lifts below the floor level just to reduce their profile, so this can matter quite a lot in many applications.

Stability is another factor

Mobile lift tables are somewhat less stable than stationary ones. It&#;s important to center the load on any scissor lift, but that importance is magnified for mobile lifts. Off-center loads will be less stable than they are on fixed-position lifts. If you use a mobile lift, adhere particularly well to the loading protocols and err on the side of caution when loading and unloading it.

Mobile lifts are more expensive than equivalent stationary lifts, but when they&#;re right, it&#;s worth it

This is in part because they must be better-built and more carefully engineered. Parts of the structure (such as the base frame) must be load-bearing. The casters and wheels must be correctly specified. When wheels are replaced, they must also be correctly specified for capacity and size.

While stationary lifts aren&#;t as flexible as mobile lifts, relocating them in case of a line reconfiguration isn&#;t a monumental task. Most are relatively easy to disconnect and reinstall, although you would not want to do this frequently.

Bottom line

Generally, stationary lifts have higher capacities and a larger range of sizes, power options, and available accessories. To me, it&#;s a bit like choosing a laptop computer instead of a desktop one. The laptop costs more money, and does a bit less, but does it anywhere you want. That&#;s key for many operations, and makes the mobile lift an outstanding value for the correct application.

Hello everybody. Welcome to our website. This time we will take all of you with us to understand our star product-mobile scissor lift.

When comes to aerial work platform mobile scissor lift, what is we care about most?

How to use it? And how to safety use it?

First, let me show you the mobile scissor lift platform&#;s Features:

It makes many difficult and dangerous tasks easier, such as: indoor and outdoor cleaning (ceilings, curtain walls, glass windows, eaves, awnings, chimneys, etc.), installation and maintenance of billboards, installation and maintenance of street lights and traffic signs Wait. The characteristics of this high-altitude lifting platform are small, flexible, convenient and fast. You can use a lifting platform instead of scaffolding to reach the height you need and solve your problems. At the same time, it can also save your expenses and precious time.

The mobile scissor lift platform is self-moving driven by the reduction motor fixed on gear side of the scissor base structure, powered by batteries. Operator There is speed controlling handle on the tow bar, control the moving speed by rotate the speed controlling handle. Only one people could operate the forward, backward and turning require.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Fast Heavy Industry sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Safety Precautions

• Forbid lifting up if the lift was put on unsound or out-of-level ground.
• Forbid working on unstable ground, especially when ground is empty or surface relief.
• When doing maintenance, lift must be power off.
• Forbid using platform as ground wire when do welding works.
• Forbid lifting up and working when wind force equal or exceed level-6 on working site.
• Forbid working in thunderstorm weather.
• Forbid moving lift or folding the outriggers when the lift is carrying load or people.
• Forbid operating before the outriggers are extended and the lift is horizontally leveled.
• Forbid sitting, standing or climbing the guarding rails when working on platform.
• Forbid overload than 500KG, (especially the extension deck on platform, forbid overload than 100KG.)
• Forbid hanging anything out of the guard rails.
• Forbid modification on the platform that may cause any influence on its stability.
• Forbid any obstacles or people under platform during operation in case of any danger or risk.

Maintenance instruction

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Mobile Scissor Lift.

• A trained personal staff is responsible for the operation and maintenance of this platform.
• Charge the batteries timely when the electric quantity indicator shows electricity quantity is in low level. Charge time is about 6-8 hours. Charge AC input should be 220V/50Hz/1 phase. When the platform is out of use for a long time, make sure charge the batteries once a month to protect the batteries and increase its service lift.
• Hydraulic oil should be replaced every half year. Use No.32 # anti-wear hydraulic oil during winter, and No.46 # anti-wear hydraulic oil in summer.
• Platform should be properly stored when it is not in use, covering dust guard and fold up the outriggers. Forbid outdoor storage.
• According to the platform using frequency,  carry out inspections and maintenance weekly or annually :
• To check the platform connection pin nuts no loose, and falls off
• To check the hydraulic tubing no rupture, connectors no leakage and loose
• To check the electrical lines no linking, bare
• To check all joints of controlling box no loose, the light is working properly
• To check the electrical, hydraulic valves block, the control handle, the button   operating flexible
• To check the switch of the lower and higher limit position no loose, damaged
• To check the lubrication state of strut and cylinder pin, handling into enough oil
• To maintain the glide path often in lubrication, wheel and the slide no dry friction
