Hydraulic Lift- Why So Popular
Today
Most of the multistorey buildings use lifts to vertically
move goods and people from one oor to another. There
are electric lifts and hydraulic lifts. Hydraulic lifts are more
comfortable and quietest while comparing with electric
lifts. Electric lifts are employed in buildings having more
than ten oors. The security system of hydraulic lifts is
more reliable than electric.
Here, you can nd more about hydraulic lifts.
A hydraulic lift system can vertically move people or goods using the force generated through pressurized uids. The
basic principle behind the working of hydraulic lift is pascals law. Pascal's law states that a small force applied to a
large area will generate a large force to a small area. Various industries like automobile, transport, construction, etc.
use hydraulic lifts. Scissor lifts, two-post lifts, four-post lifts, carousel lifts, and mezzanine lifts are the various
hydraulic lifts available in the market. A scissor lift has a railed platform and criss-cross metal support that can raise
the surface vertically to perform work easily. Both the two-post and four-post lifts are used in the automobile industry
to lift vehicles. The two-post lifts are ideal for changing the tyre of four-wheelers and four-post lifts are ideal for long-
term vehicle storage. The carousel lifts are used for improving the storage capacity. These lifts use chains to support
shelves or carriers. The mezzanine oor lifts can carry a load of up to 1000kg.
Hydraulic Lift Working
The main components of a hydraulic lift are piston within a cylinder (called a ram), oil reservoir or tank, pump, motor
(to drive the pump), and valve. The pump, uid, and motor are kept in a machine room. To move the lift vertically up,
the pump will push the oil towards the cylinder, by exerting pressure on the piston. To bring the lift down, the valve
opens and allow the uid to ow back into the reservoir. To stop the lift on certain oors, the power to the pump is
switched off. The uid will move from the reservoir towards the cylinder when the valve is closed. The reverse
operation occurs when the valve is opened.

Advantages of Hydraulic Lifts
Since the hydraulic lift doesn't use cables, it prevents the classic dead-drop situation. In case of any failure, instead of

2. a sudden fall, it moves according to the oil leakage. So, the safety of the hydraulic system is a great advantage. The
components of hydraulic lifts are kept in the machine room. So, it requires less space and weight. Also, the loading
and unloading time can be reduced. If proper care and maintenance are provided, this system will work smoothly.
Hydraulic lifts are cheaper than electric lifts. Hydraulic lifts have less wear compared with electric. Hydraulic lifts
have fewer components and low installation cost.
