Car lift principle and skills

The car lift is an automobile warranty machine used in the automobile repair industry. Its quality directly affects the personal safety of the maintenance personnel.The lift plays a vital role in the maintenance and repair of the car. It can’t be separated from the overhaul of the car or the minor repair and maintenance.In the maintenance and repair companies of various sizes, whether it is a comprehensive repair shop that repairs multiple models or a street shop (Tire shop) with a single business scope, almost all need to be equipped with a lift.

Car lifts are classified according to function and shape, and can be generally divided into three categories: double column, four column, and scissor.

The two post car lift is a special mechanical lifting device commonly used in automobile repair and maintenance, and is widely used in the repair and maintenance of small cars. The two post car lift lifts the car into mid-air, while saving a lot of floor space for easy ground handling.

The main feature of the four-column lift is that the limit switch will automatically cut off when the lift rises to the maximum lift height, and automatically cut off the hydraulic circuit in the hydraulic pump.

The scissor lift is equipped with a small shear that uses the same hydraulic balance control as the main shear, with a maximum lifting height of 400mm. Configurable high-precision four-wheel positioning. The hydraulic mode of the main and auxiliary cylinders ensures the balance of the system. It has the following advantages: no connecting rod, comfortable working, no obstacles, and the distance between the running boards can be adjusted at will.
