What Is an Electric Lifting Device?
An electric lifting device is an apparatus powered by electricity that can raise, lower, and adjust the height of objects such as tables, chairs, and beds.
Widely used across various sectors, including factories, offices, and hospitals, these devices enable adjustment of working heights to suit user requirements. They are recognized for their health benefits, offering postural adaptability to match individual heights and preferences.
The device operates easily with a simple switch and is designed for safety, featuring an automatic stop function if an obstacle is detected by its sensors.
Uses of Electric Lifting Devices
Electric lifting devices find diverse applications in hospitals, factories, and offices.
In healthcare settings, they are utilized for patient examination chairs, tables, stretchers, nursing beds, and wheelchairs.
In industrial and office environments, they enhance the ergonomics of desks, worktables, and chairs, helping alleviate worker fatigue through adjustable heights. Additionally, they are employed in electric cylinders used on ships.
Types of Electric Lifting Devices
These devices range from multi-lifts (e.g., industrial work platforms) and slim, low-noise lifts, to highly rigid models designed for heavy loads.
There are also synchronized types that enable coordinated lifting and lowering, suitable for use with multiple units. Features include safety measures like automatic power shutdown in case of sensor-detected failures during operation, and automatic shutdown at end points. Below are details on various types and their features.
Stairlifts
Stairlifts are automated chairs that ascend or descend stairs. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage, they accommodate straight, curved, and various other staircase designs.
BL1 (LINAK: BL1)
These are 3-stage electric lifting devices with a maximum stroke of 16 inches, commonly used in healthcare settings for beds, chairs (such as examination and dental chairs), and examination tables. Their compact size and long stroke are notable features.
DL5 (LINAK: DL5)
These two-stage electric lifting devices are compact and primarily used in office desks and similar applications.
