 Car Lift Location and Device

First, consider the position of the car lift. When installing, it should be placed optimally to maximize the parking lot’s functionality without hindering the entry and exit of vehicles, ensuring cars can be parked smoothly and safely. Regarding the drive mechanism, most car lifts are powered by hydraulic workstation brakes and electromagnetic reverse flow valves. The lifting guide and guide rail must ensure accurate installation to facilitate the smooth operation of the car lift.

 Installation of Entrances and Exits and Car Lift Passages

There should be a reserved distance of two vehicle lengths between the entrance and exit of the car lift and the road ahead, or space for a turntable. For car lifts with separate entrances and exits, reserve a space of one vehicle length on the entrance side. When a vehicle enters and exits the car lift without reversing, a turntable should generally be set up. The width of the vehicle entrance and exit should be at least 0.5 meters greater than the maximum width of the vehicle to be transported, not less than 2.25 meters, and the height should exceed the vehicle’s height by at least 0.1 meters, not less than 1.8 meters. For scissor car lifts, the dimension design of the lift passage should ensure safe operation, with the distance between the car carrier and the edge of the ground at the entrance and exit being less than 4 centimeters. The depth of the foundation pit for hydraulic direct push car lifts should be more than 1.2 meters, regardless of the rated speed.

 Car Lift Safety Device

A crucial point when purchasing a car lift is the emergency stop device. The emergency stop button allows the system to stop immediately in case of an emergency until the fault is resolved. Shock absorbers are installed in the pit to reduce vibrations when the car lift descends. The limit switch prevents the car lift from exceeding its operational boundaries and should be set so the lift stops automatically at the limit position. The hydraulic safety valve ensures that if the oil pipe bursts or pressure suddenly drops, the safety valve closes automatically to prevent the truck board from falling and avoiding accidents. Additionally, there are devices to prevent the motor from idling and to adjust the leveling device for controlling the carrier’s descent.
