Hydraulic lift is a type of machine that uses a hydraulic cylinder to lift and lower objects by applying relatively small force compared to the weight of the object to be lifted.

It’s working is based on Pascal’s Law.

 To fabricate a hydraulic lift with the help of hydraulic jack at commercially low cost.  To raise or lower platforms to work on heavy components such as engines.

 To place the work material on ergonomically comfortable access points.

 Hollow metal rods of (1X1) inches cross section is selected.

 They are cut into required lengths and welded together by arc welding to form bottom and top metal frames and also the cross-links.

 Then the metal plates of required length are welded to the top and bottom metal frames.

 The rolling wheels are welded at the end of the cross-links by some supports.

 The cross-links are then connected to the metal frames by means of Half Threaded Bolt and Nuts.

 Then the hydraulic jack is placed at the bottom metal frame by connecting its stroke to the cross-link.

 The hydraulic jack is manually pumped to raise the hydraulic lift. Ensure that the pressure relief valve is closed tightly.

 The pressure relief valve at the bottom of the hydraulic jack is opened gradually to lower the lift.

 Hydraulic table lifts are so simple to operate and move and they eliminate repetitive strain injury (RSI)  When not in use and fully retracted hydraulic table lift take up little space in a warehouse or office.

 Heavy weights of 100 kg can be lifted easily to a height of 2 feet by this hydraulic lift.

 In workshops heavy components such as engines can be lifted to required height so that we can work on it conveniently.

 It can be used as bike lift by altering its size.

 The height of the lift can be increased by increasing the stroke length (or) by adding additional zig-zag links.

 The hydraulic lift can be designed for high load by using a suitable high capacity hydraulic cylinder.

Thus a Hydraulic lift to raise 100 kg of weight up to a height of 2 feet is designed and fabricated at a commercially low cost.

It is recommended for the engineering industry and for commercial production.
