What Is a Tandem Lift Table?
A tandem lift table is a special type of scissor lift table. Unlike a conventional scissor lift table, it features two scissor mechanisms arranged one behind the other, which raise a shared platform.
This design allows for long and large platforms. Tandem lift tables are therefore particularly suitable for handling long or bulky loads.
How Is Synchronised Operation Achieved in a Tandem Lift Table?
In practice, the two scissor mechanisms of a tandem lift table are rarely subjected to exactly the same load. Without appropriate design measures, this can cause the less heavily loaded scissor mechanism to extend faster, resulting in the platform being raised unevenly.
To ensure a uniform lifting movement, we adapt the design to the specific application. Either the two scissor mechanisms are positioned as close together as possible or a static flow divider is used. This distributes the hydraulic flow evenly between the cylinders, ensuring the required synchronised operation without additional electronic control systems or sensors.
How Does a Tandem Lift Table Perform with Uneven Load Distribution?
The video shows a tandem lift table with both centred and off-centre loads, providing a practical insight into the lifting movement with different load distributions.
What Are Tandem Lift Tables Used For?
Tandem lift tables are particularly suitable for lifting and positioning long, bulky or large loads. Typical applications include:
- Ergonomic workstations: Long workpieces and materials can be raised and positioned at a suitable working height.
- Loading and unloading: Tandem lift tables provide the required height adjustment and enable materials to be moved between different levels.
- Assembly and production: Large or long components can be raised to the required working height for assembly, production or maintenance work.
