Industrial lift is one of the equipment for moving loads and users, which is used in industrial places. Among these industrial places, we can mention factories, workshops, warehouses of various goods, large and multi-story stores, petrochemicals, refineries, etc. These lifts are made in different types and dimensions and mainly work with traction and hydraulic drive systems.
Applications of Industrial Lift
Industrial elevators have various applications in various industries and environments for moving heavy loads and people. The type of application will determine the capacity, dimensions, type of drive system, etc. in these systems. In the following, the applications of these devices are briefly mentioned.
Construction
Movement of goods in warehouses
Among other very important uses of industrial elevators, we can mention the movement of goods in warehouses with these devices. The quality and correct operation of the elevator in warehouses is very important. Because the goods are produced in high volumes and also these devices are used continuously. These lifts are usually of hydraulic type and despite the strong parts, they have a long service life and can withstand a lot of weight and load.
Shopping malls, stores and passages
In multi-story stores and arcades, industrial elevators can be used to move goods and items between floors. The appearance of these devices is designed according to the working space in stores and shopping centers.
Repairing buildings and business centers
Industrial lifts can be used to perform various repairs in buildings and commercial centers. Carrying out repairs or changes such as installing various signs on top of shopping malls, rebuilding buildings, installing facade stones, installing windows, restoring buildings, etc. are some of the applications that industrial elevators have.
Washing and cleaning windows
For washing and cleaning windows in multi-story buildings and towers, industrial lifts have many uses. These lifts usually have a capacity of one or two people and are mostly telescopic and can carry workers to a high height.
Lighting
Industrial lifts are used for lighting in stadiums and stadiums. For this purpose, lighting equipment is placed on these elevators and when the elevator goes up, many parts of the stadium are lit up.
Art programs
Usually, industrial elevators have specific applications. But one of the unusual uses of these devices is in art programs. In this way, the singers or performers of artistic programs go up to a height above the crowd to perform programs with these elevators. In this case, concerts or artistic programs are performed in such a way that the audience can easily watch the performer.
Protection of power cables
Another use of industrial elevators is to protect electric cables with these devices. In addition to electric cables, these devices can be used in maintaining high-voltage power transformers, traffic lights, installing cables on electric poles, etc. These lifts have a single or double capacity.
Aircraft maintenance
Industrial lifts are widely used in aircraft maintenance. The reason is the high altitude of the planes. In this case, technicians and repairmen can only access its different parts by using these devices. When the technicians are placed in these lifts, they can go up to any height and repair and service different parts of the plane.
Gardening work
In orchards where it is difficult to access tall trees and pick fruit, using industrial elevators makes these tasks easy. In addition to picking fruits, these lifters can be used for spraying, cutting excess leaves of trees, etc. in gardening.
Industrial lift types
Industrial elevators are divided into several types in terms of structure, appearance and drive system. In the following, each type of industrial lift has been examined.
Accordion industrial lift
This type of industrial lift is made of strong steel structures, which when going up , it has a lot of balance and does not vibrate and shake. These systems have a large capacity and can carry multiple users and heavy loads when climbing. Batteries or diesel engines are used to supply the driving force of these lifts.
Hydraulic industrial lift
This type of industrial lift has a hydraulic drive system. Hydraulic industrial lifts are used in places such as stores, warehouses, houses, etc. Also, these elevators are used to move wheelchairs or people, which are called wheelchair lifts and non-person lifts. The industrial lift jack is an important part that supports a lot of weight in this type of lift. The power required to raise these jacks is provided by the engine and hydraulic pump. Hydraulic elevators have advantages such as low damage of parts, cost-effectiveness, low space requirement, relatively high security, no need for engine room, etc. These advantages have caused hydraulic lifts to be highly popular among customers. take The winch is responsible for transferring movement to the cabin by means of ropes connected to it. For this, an electric motor is used, which is installed on top of the shaft. Usually, an inverter is installed on electric elevators, which can adjust the conditions of carrying cargo and getting on the elevator.
Fixed industrial lift
Fixed lift is a system that is used to carry goods or users to a certain height. These devices are used in places such as large workshops, multi-story stores, industrial and production places, etc. Usually, motors and hydraulic jacks provide the required power for these devices. These lifts have high safety and strength. They can also have a large capacity.
Mobile industrial lift
Mobile lifts are used in different parts of a place or project. For example, when there is a need to reach a certain height from a place or shed, these lifts can be used.
Traction industrial lift
These lifts work by using the traction force provided by the electric motor. To maintain balance in lifting objects, balance weights are used in these devices. These systems are used in places that have a high height and can move goods and people at a higher speed.
