Learning Everything About The Functioning Of Hydraulic Lifts
by Residential Lifts MarketingTraction lifts have been the most popular, but they are closely chased by hydraulic lifts in terms of popularity. Yes, this version is now more prominently seen than traction lifts and found at various places and they have slowly turned into the first preference for residential, corporate and construction applications. This is all because they come with numerous benefit and some of them are so extraordinary that they could not be found in traditional traction-based counterparts and other. However, in this post, we will mull upon the basic technology and the key components responsible for the proper functioning of the machine. This knowledge regarding is important because later it will help you in detecting minor breakdowns and in estimating the kind of maintenance required for proper functioning.
Firstly, here is a brief of the machinery and items within a hydraulic lift:
- The Lift Car
- A Ram
- An Oil Reservoir (With Valve)
- A Pump
- A Motor (To Power The Pump)
Operating The Lift
- According to lift modernisation experts, to make sure that the hydraulic lifts operate correctly, the lift piston should work in perfect harmony with the oil that is pumped into the cylinder responsible for controlling the piston.
- As far as the lift piston is concerned, this needs a mention here that it sits below the lift enclosure and from there, it controls the movements.
- To raise the hydraulic lift up, you will have to keep the pump valve in the closed position because this way, you will be pushing the oil from the reservoir into the cylinder.
- This is where the effects of gravity would come into play and the piston will get pushed up, resulting into elevating of the hydraulic lift.
- An exact opposite action of the process discussed above takes place when there is the necessity to lower down the elevator.
- In this case, the pump valve is opened and the oil is released back into the reservoir to let the piston as well as the elevator to lower down.
Advantages of Hydraulic Lifts
- They are cheaper to install than other elevator types.
- They occupy less space in a building, requiring almost 10% less area for the lift shaft.
- They are highly effective with heavy loads, as the hydraulic power provides a far greater lifting strength.
- There is no need for an overhead machine room.
- Similarly, overhead structural requirements aren’t needed either.
- You have the option of using a remote machine room.
- There are no cables to set up along with other parts of machinery.
- Hydraulic lifts don’t rely on cables to operate making them a safer equivalent.
- Lift modernisation experts believe it to be safer because, in any mechanical failure, the lift will plummet at the same speed.
If safety, low-cost availability and ease of maintenance are the issues then, they will definitely fit in any criteria. The fact that it can be used domestically, commercially and industrially makes it a way better option than traction lifts.
