CHAPTER 4 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

LIFT DESCRIPTION (Ref. Figure 2)
The lift is suitable for lifting motor vehicles having maximum weight as described in the nameplate
on the power side column of the lift.
All mechanical parts have been built in steel plate to make the frame stiff and strong while keeping a
low weight.
The electro hydraulic operation is described in detail in chapter 8.
This chapter describes the lift's principal elements, allowing the user to be familiar with the machine.
As shown in figure 2, the lift is composed of four columns: N.1 power-side column (1), N.3 off-side
columns (2 and 3), two platforms: the power-side platform (4) and the off-side platform (5), and two
transverse beams (6), anchored to the ground by means of the column base plates.
Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on the control panel (7) to operate a power
unit (8) delivering the hydraulic fluid to cylinders to act on cable lifting system.
Lowering motion is controlled by pushing the lowering button on the control panel and carried out
under the weight of the load lifted.
The automatic mechanical back-up safety (9) holds on the lift in the elevated position and the slack
cable safety (10) in event of cable slackening and/or failure.
