Problems Frequently Found with Scissor Lifts

Problems Frequently Found with Scissor Lifts

When using fixed lifts, some failures are unavoidable. If the issue isn’t fixed right away, it may cause users a lot of trouble and hurt their ability to work efficiently.

Using these lifts can lead to a number of issues, including:

  1. The Lifting Process cannot be undone. If the lifting platform’s travel switch is broken, it needs to be replaced. Repair or replace the control handle or button on the distribution box if it is broken on the lifting platform.
  2. The Lifting Platform cannot be lifted because it is either too heavy or too weak. To ensure that the load does not exceed the lifting platform’s rated load, it must be overloaded. The power source’s voltage is insufficient. When the motor is operating with a load, check the power supply voltage to verify sure it is within the permitted floating range.
  3. Naturally, the lifting platform lowers. Find the one-way valve in the valve group. Clean the one-way valve if the sealing surface is covered in dirt. The pressure relief valve needs to be tightly closed in order to be repaired or replaced.
  4. The lifting platform does not lower as a result of the down valve malfunction. Verify whether the down valve is powered when the down button is pressed. If there is no electricity, the valve spool is damaged or stuck; try to turn it off. The descending speed control valve has a problem. Replace the descending speed control valve with a new one if the adjustment is ineffective.
  5. One of the following prohibits closing the descending valve. The lower travel switch has been tampered with; the descending valve is damaged or jammed; the descending valve is damaged or stuck, or the hydraulic valve needs to be cleaned or replaced. Buy a new switch to replace the lower travel switch. If there is no lower travel switch on the lifting platform, the time relay needs to be examined.

Scissor Lift Inspection and Maintenance:

Daily inspections of Electric Scissor Lift frequently involve looking for apparent leaks (of oil or battery fluids) or foreign items.

  1. Look for obvious faults like dents, weld breaks, or broken metal.
  2. Cleaning and legibility of the machine decals and signage inspection.
  3. Check the platform gate’s scissor arms, centering link, and other components to make sure it closes securely.
  4. Checking the purity and level of hydraulic fluid.
  5. Make sure the machine has access to all necessary manuals.
  6. A check must be performed prior to usage in a space free of barriers both above and below ground. It’s a good idea to review the add-ons and attachments as well.
