What Is a Floor Lift?
A floor lift is a labor-saving piece of equipment that can be raised and lowered to eliminate steps and improve work efficiency.
It is installed externally or embedded in the floor area. It can automatically raise and lower objects using motors, hydraulic pressure, or other power sources. The table width varies depending on the product, so use a Floor Lift with the appropriate width for your application. Since heavy objects such as automobiles are lifted, robust materials with excellent load capacity are used for the components. Safety devices are also installed in case of emergency.
Uses of Floor Lifts
Floor lifts are used in a variety of fields, including homes, nursing care facilities, factories, and maintenance facilities. In homes and nursing/rehabilitation facilities, floor lifts provide barrier-free access to eliminate differences in level. They are installed on a portion of the floor to eliminate steps by lifting and lowering, or to reduce the burden on users by assisting the movement of wheelchairs and other vehicles.
In factories and maintenance facilities, they are used for maintenance work on large equipment and vehicles. Pit work at vehicle maintenance shops includes a variety of tasks ranging from relatively quick maintenance such as oil changes and transmission removal and installation to heavy-duty maintenance. Floor Lifts are used to lift vehicles to a comfortable working height for efficient work.
Principle of Floor Lifts
A floor lift consists of an arm that raises and lowers the vehicle, a floor section that loads the object to be moved, a power section that moves the arm, and a safety device. By using a pneumatic or hydraulic drive system for power, even heavy loads can be raised and lowered.
