• Hydraulic lift is a material handling device
• Hydraulic lift is a type of machine that
uses a
hydraulic cylinder to lift and lower objects by
applying relatively small force compared to
the
weight of the object to be lifted.
• It’s working is based on Pascal’s Law.

Objective
► To fabricate a hydraulic lift with the help of
hydraulic jack at commercially low cost.
► To raise or lower platforms to work on heavy
components such as engines.
► To place the work material on ergonomically
comfortable access points.
5. Material Selection
• Scissors Arms: Stainless steel.
Subjected to buckling load and bending load tending
to break or cause bending of the components.
• Hydraulic Cylinder: Mild steel
Subjected to direct compressive force, bending
stress, internal compressive pressure.
• Top Platform: Mild steel and the base is wood
Subjected to the weight.
• Base Platform: Mild steel
Subjected to the weight of the top plat form and the

• Heavy Weights of 100 kg can be lifted easily to a height of
2 feet by this lift.
• In Workshops heavy components such as engines can be
lifted to required height so that we can work on it
conviently.
• It can be used as bike lift by altering its size.
8. 8
Future Scope
• The height of the lift can be increased
by increasing the stroke length (or) by
additional zig-zag links.
• The hydraulic lift can be designed for
high load by using a sutable high
capacity hydraulic cylinder.

Conclusion
Thus a hydraulic lift to raise 100 kg of weight upto a height of 2
feet is designed and fabricated at a 2 feet is designed and
fabricated at a low cost.
It is recommended for the engineering industry and for the
commercial production.

Recent trends & development in
Hydrolic scissor lift
Hydraulic scissor lifts are widely used in a variety of industries,
including construction, manufacturing, and warehousing. Here are
some recent trends and developments in hydraulic scissor lift.
Battery-powered scissor lifts: Many manufacturers are now offering
battery-powered scissor lifts, which can be a more environmentally
friendly and cost-effective option compared to diesel or gasoline-
powered lifts.
11. 1 1
Improved safety features: Manufacturers are continuously
working to improve the safety of scissor lifts. Some recent
developments include additional guardrails, improved stability
control systems, and automatic shutdowns in the event of a
malfunction.
Improved mobility: Some scissor lifts now have wider bases, larger
wheels, and more advanced steering systems, which can make them
more stable and easier to maneuver in tight spaces
