2. Legs:
3. Tool:
lA Presto Lifts/ECOA lifter, is a battery-operated lifting device moved around manually, used to handle a
wide variety of items, to reduce heavy and unnatural lifting from personnel, the intention is to improve
work life in regards of personal health and safety.
lIt is of most importance, that the lifter as a whole, is configured correctly, to handle the required load,
with respect to the load type, the load center of gravity and the lifting height, to achieve a safe balance
and operation.
lThe lifter is in general consisting of 3 main components:
lThe mast is a lifting column, optional in different heights, which is mounted on a set of
“legs” and used to lift a “Tool”, suitable for the customers’ requirements.
lThe lifting function is gained from an electric motor, through a cambelt, which is mov-
ing a sledge inside the mast profile.
lThe connection between the motor and the cambelt, is through a “one way bearing”,
which is a built-in safety feature; hence the sledge is lowered only by gravity and not
forced downwards by the motor.
lThe tool is mounted on the sledge with bolts.
lThe legs are used to hold the mast in a vertical position and mounted with wheels, so
that the lifter can be manually moved around on a flat, level floor.
lThe legs come in a variety of configurations, in different lengths, widths, and wheel
configurations.
lIt is vital that the legs are configured correctly, with the main purpose of keeping the
lifter stable and safe on the floor, in the specific configuration of tool type, weight, and
center of gravity of the load and lifting height.
lThe mast is mounted on the legs with bolts.
lPresto Lifts/ECOA has a variety of tools to handle different items and loads.
