Scissor Lift Table

Scissor Lift Table is a component of the Scissor Lift. Without the Scissor Lift table, the Scissor Lift cannot operate well. First of all, let me explain what a Scissor Lift is. A Scissor Lift is a device, mostly used by engineers who are dealing with heavy machines to assist in the moving of huge objects from different heights to another. Further on, I will introduce you to a number of factors you may consider when purchasing a Scissor Lift Table.

This is always the question asked when it comes to purchasing of goods. What do we need to consider or look out for when we buy an item? There are different keys for different items purchased and here’s three important key points you’ll need to look out for if you’re buying a Scissor Lift Table.

Key Point 1: Safety First
Scissor Lift Tables are to be used by humans for operate therefore, Safety always comes first. Anyone who uses or handles with the Scissor Lift Table should have some knowledge on the Safety measures of it.
Precaution: Attend safety lessons regarding the handling of such huge machines and take necessary actions to prevent danger. For example, Safety clothing should be used while using to protect the scissor pinch points. To prevent shear points, the lift should be equipped with angled toe guards when pit mounted.

Key Point 2: The Originate of Scissor Lift Table
To my surprise, there’s a whole lot of Scissor Lift Tables available on the market when there isn’t as much Scissor Lift Suppliers. What’s more shocking is that the quality of those tables ranges from super poor to extremely good. Of course, those extremely good ones are not the main focus of my point. I’m also not penalizing on those poor makers of Scissor Lift Table which generally comes from China. What I understand is that they only design it for the money, not the quality performance which was quite disappointing.
Precaution: Always ask the Scissor Lift Table distributor or manufacturer about the originate of it. If they’re made from China or some poor countries, the chances of you getting a bad and poor Scissor Lift Table is very high. There might be bad motors, inferior components or even weak welds. So remember, don’t purchase it because it’s cheap or looks perfectly fine on the outside or you’ll have to pay heavily later.

Key Point 3: Duty Cycle
Your project requirements indicate the number of cycles you need which indirectly refers back to the Scissor Lift Table that you purchased. For a high duty cycle Lift Table, it at least must be able to cycle more than 20 times an hour. Normal standard lifts are only able to cycle for a few times an hour when they’re designed. Anything more than that standard would damage the Scissor Lift Table severely.
Precaution: Before purchasing, inform the manufacturer the number of cycles you wish to have for your project in an hour, day, year or even time frame. It’ll be better if you could speak to a few manufacturers to get the correct information about which Scissor Lift Table to purchase.
