Our lift tables are designed for industrial applications and can handle loads ranging from 500 kg to 16,000 kg. This subjects the table to significant forces. To prevent any movement during lifting or lowering, secure anchoring of the stationary lift table is essential. Normally, the scissor lift table is firmly bolted to the floor. However, for this project, we have developed an alternative anchoring method.
No bolting down and still secure?
For this job, anchoring the scissor lift table with heavy-duty anchors was not possible due to pipes in the floor. To avoid drilling into the floor, we installed adjusting bolts on the side of the lower frame. After precisely aligning the lift table, our assembly team secured the scissor lift platform using the adjusting bolts: The set screws were turned out and pressed against the pit walls. This prevents any movement of the lift table.
Bellows rest
By welding flat bars to the lower frame, we provide a robust mount for the bellows. The bellows serve as under-run protection by securing the shearing area against unauthorized access. Directly placing the bellows on the floor would cause them to inflate, as the air cannot escape. Our rest design allows the air to flow out, thus preventing the bellows from inflating.
Surrounding stainless steel edge on the platform
The platform, with a 30 mm high and 5 mm thick stainless steel edge, serves as a frame for the on-site flooring. This design ensures that the lift table, when lowered into the pit, does not visually differ from the surrounding floor. Particularly in office and residential buildings, where aesthetic aspects are important, this is a commonly chosen additional feature.
