CHAPTER 3 - PACKING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out
packing, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.

3.1 PACKING

The packing of the lift is delivered in following components:

¾ N. 2 base units packed in a steel frame, wrapped up in non-scratch waterproof material and

sealed with 2 straps

¾ N. 1 power unit packed in a plywood box
¾ N. 4 drive-on ramps wrapped up in non-scratch waterproof material, including N. 4 rubber

pads, N. 4 hydraulic hoses and N. 8 anchor bolts.

(If requested, optional accessories are available to satisfy each customer’s requirements).

The average weight of the package is 2,300 LBS.

3.2 LIFTING AND HANDLING

When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading (e.g.
cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure also to hoist and transport the components securely so that
they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight and center of gravity and it’s
fragile parts.

Hoist and handle only one package at a time

3.3 STORAGE AND STACKING OF PACKAGES

Packages must be stored in a covered place, out of direct sunlight and in low humidity, at a
temperature between 14°F and 104°F.
Stacking is not recommended: the package’s narrow base, as well as its considerable weight and size
make it difficult and hazardous.

3.4 DELIVERY AND CHECK OF PACKAGES

When the lift is delivered, check for possible damage due to transport and storage; verify that what is
specified in the manufacturer’s confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in transit, the
customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (keep a safe distance when
opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package when
opening).

CHAPTER 4 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

4.1 LIFT (ref. Figure 1)

The lift has been designed for the lifting of motor-vehicles and for making them stand at any level
between the minimum and maximum height.
The maximum lifting weight, including any additional load on the vehicle, is as specified on the
serial plate.
All mechanical frames, such as platforms, extensions, base frames and arms 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 two platforms: P1 (1) and P2 (2) each equipped with the
drive-on/off ramps (3) which can be locked to the platforms as extensions, anchored to the ground by
means of bases (4).
Platforms are linked to the base by means of a scissor lifting system.
The lifting system of each platform is composed of N.4 arms: two inferior (5) and two superior (6),
and a couple of cylinders: master (7) and slave (8). The mechanical safety (9) is built on each runway
and can be locked and released by means of the air cylinder.
Motion is transmitted by a lever system, from the cylinders to the lever (10).
Lowering and lifting are carried out by means of a control unit (11), placed next to the lift.
Two limit switches are installed on the P2 base: one for the top position and one for the safety height,
protected by a cover (12).

Figure 1 - LIFT

4.2 OPERATION

Platform lifting is carried out by the hydraulic unit which acts upon the cylinders.
The platforms are raised simultaneously owing cross feeding of the hydraulic cylinders.
Lowering, even though electrically controlled, is carried out by the weight of both the platforms and
the load lifted.
The hydraulic system is protected by a max pressure valve thus preventing pressure from exceeding
the maximum fixed safety limit.
Whenever the lift has to be lowered to the ground and the lowering button is pressed, the lift will
stop at about 16 inches from the ground.
In this way, the operator must verify that neither persons nor objects are within the safety area.
If so, the final lowering button can be pressed and the lift will be completely lowered. A beep sound
is heard during the last travel.
