Why You Need a Fixed Lifting Platform
A Fixed Lifting Platform is the cornerstone of streamlined material handling. Unlike mobile units, this permanent installation provides a reliable, heavy-duty link between different floor levels. It is the ideal investment for high-frequency operations where stability and durability are non-negotiable.
How to Choose the Right Model
* Load Capacity & Size: Don’t guess. Precisely define your maximum weight (e.g., 500kg to 2 tons) and the dimensions of your typical loads. The platform must be slightly larger than your largest pallet or machine.
* Lift Height: Calculate the exact vertical travel distance needed. Determine if you need a pit installation (for flush floor loading) or a ramp capability.
* Power System:
* Hydraulic: Powerful and robust, ideal for heavy loads.
* Electric: Cleaner and quieter, often preferred for specific indoor environments.
* Control & Safety: Evaluate options like remote controls versus standard buttons. Ensure integration with safety gates and interlock systems to prevent accidents.
Maintenance Checklist
* Weekly: Inspect hydraulic hoses for leaks, check electrical tightness, and verify emergency stops.
* Monthly: Lubricate guide rails and chains. Tighten all structural bolts.
* Annually: Schedule a professional service for hydraulic fluid analysis and full safety recalibration.
Conclusion
A well-chosen fixed platform justifies its initial investment by operating seamlessly for years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Does the Fixed Lifting Platform require a pit?
A1: It depends on your needs. For easy loading with a pallet truck, installing the lift in a pit keeps the platform flush with the floor. If digging a pit isn’t possible, we can provide a ramp for easy access.
Q2: Can this lift be installed outdoors?
A2: Yes. For outdoor use, we recommend our galvanized steel finish and IP65-rated electrical components to protect against rust and weather damage.
Q3: What safety features are included?
A3: Safety is our priority. Every unit comes with anti-explosion valves (to prevent falling if a hose bursts), emergency stop buttons, and safety trip bars under the platform to stop lowering if an obstacle is detected.
Q4: What is the standard warranty period?
A4: We provide a 1-year warranty on major components (pump, motor, cylinder) and offer lifetime technical support via video call or email.
