Precautions for The Use of Car Lift
The application of a car lift addresses the challenges of car maintenance effectively. However, many mechanics in repair shops do not adhere strictly to the safety operation rules when using car lifts, leading to issues such as overloading, mistakes, and insufficient attention to safety. These practices often result in safety accidents. Therefore, ensuring the safety of car lifts and lifting platforms remains a significant concern. Choosing a high-quality car lift is essential for safe operation. So, what should we pay attention to when using a scissor car lift?

Check before use
It is crucial to develop the habit of daily equipment checks when using car lifts. Identifying and addressing problems promptly (such as loose screws, uneven tightness on both sides of the wire rope, etc.) ensures safe usage. Additionally, during maintenance, always use the original factory-provided accessories and avoid arbitrary replacements. Before driving the car onto the lift, clear the passageway and ensure that the lift arm, connector, axle support, etc., are not driven over or hit to prevent damage to the car lift or the car. Keep the car lift area free of obstacles that could affect its operation.
Pay attention when working
Each car lift has a load limit, which is indicated on the factory label. Overloading or partial loading is strictly prohibited. Both overloading and eccentric loading pose significant dangers. When lifting the car, ensure no one is inside the vehicle, and keep unrelated personnel away from the equipment during lifting and operation. Care should be taken when positioning the lift’s support to the lift contact points recommended by the car manufacturer. Note that certain car parts can cause sharp changes in the center of gravity due to different moving or installation positions, leading to instability when the car is lifted. Ensure the supporter is in close contact with the bearing point on the car before raising the lift. The car lift should only be lifted to the required working height after thoroughly inspecting the tightness of the contact points. Before lowering the lift, remove all obstacles under the car and ensure no one is standing underneath. Release the locking device before lowering the lift safely.
