Scissor lift with trolley

Description

A scissor lift or mechanism is a device used to extend or position a platform by mechanical means. The term “scissor” comes from the mechanics which has folding supports in the criss-cross “X” pattern. The extension or displacement motion is achieved by the application of force to one or more supports, resulting in an elongation of the cross pattern. The force applied to extend the scissors mechanism may be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical (via a lead screw or rack and pinion system).

The name scissors lift originates from the ability of the device to open (expand) and close (contract) just like the mechanics of a pair of scissors. Considering the need for this kind of mechanism, estimating as well the cost of expanding energy more that result gotten as well the maintenance etc. it is better to adopt this design concept to the production of the machine.

Automotive parts are mostly made of metal, which is a major reason for their large weight, and as such requires devices of lifting and displacement of same. In an automobile production and assembly facility, components have to be raised to certain heights which could be more convenient to the personnel working on it. When such device is not available workers are often forced to bend from the waist to access the components which can lead to strains and major discomforts or even serious injuries that could affect productivity consequently, an assembly table that will be adjustable will be required for use in the automotive industry to improve the efficiency of personnel working in a production or assembly facility. In order to do this, a mechanism is recommended to be incorporated into a table platform where the height is adjustable.
