CHAPTER 2: INTRODUCTION
This Manual has been made to supply the owner as well the user with the basic instructions for
installation and a correct use of the Single post car parking lift .
Read this guide carefully before using the lift and follow the instructions given by this guide to grant
it a correct function, efficiency and a long service life.
Single post car parking lift is dependant parking type where it requires valet to
remove lower car away before lowering the platform.
This lift is suitable for residential parking purposes. The platform moves only vertically, so that the
users have to clear the ground level to get the higher level car down. It is hydraulic driven Type that
lifted directly by cylinder with chain connected to carriage.
This is electro-hydraulic lift used ONLY for motor vehicle parking.
The product designed according to the EN 1493:2010 and EN 14010:2003+A1:2009.
Reference of Directive Machine: 2006/42/EC.
Working Principle:
1. When operating the unit and pushing UP Button, the hydraulic power unit will be electrically
activated to pump hydraulic oil from tank to hydraulic oil cylinder.
2. The hydraulic cylinder will pull upwards the steel chain which is connected to the carriage.
3. The carriage will lift the platform as both of them are connected with bolts.
4. Once reaching pr-determined lifting height, the carriage will touch the limit switch and stop
the hydraulic motor.
5. The ground floor under the platform is free for parking lower car.

CHAPTER 5: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Strongman Tools Ltd Equipment, ensuring our customers’ safety is our primary concern. Our
car parking lift was designed and built with safety. However, safety relies on proper
installation and training. Prepare for a successful installation by making sure your floor meets
specific requirements.
Installation technicians should be healthy, well trained and qualified to carry on the installation with
experience for both mechanical &electrical work.
Use hoist / crane with suitable steel chain or woven belt to lift he package to the place you need to
install. The lifting capacity of the hoist must be more than 1.5 Ton.

5.1 Unpacking the package
Check the package and off-load the contents near the installation place.
Fig. 7
The hydraulic power unit box and standard parts & chains box are light, could be carried by hand.
Then take out steel parts one by one using suitable lifting hoist (Fig. 9 is an example of hoist).

5.2 SITE SELECTION:
Before installing your car parking lift, check the following:
Lift Location: Always use architect’s plans when available.
Check layout dimension against floor plan requirements making sure adequate space is
available. Your lift requires a 220v, 30amp, single phase, grounded electrical source. There
should be room enough to operate the lift in a safe manner and without restrictions.
Space Required: Please refer to the drawing for detailed installation size.
Overhead Area: The area where the lift will be located should be free of overhead obstructions
such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines, doors, lights, etc.
Floor Area: Visually inspect the site where the lift is to be installed and check for cracked or
defective concrete.

Version 1
15
5.3 FLOOR REQUIREMENTS:
A leveled floor is strongly suggested for proper installation and balance lifting. Small differences
in floor slopes may be compensated by proper shims. If a floor is of questionable slope,
consider the possibility of pouring a new level concrete slab.
DO NOT install car lift on any asphalt surface or any surface other than concrete.
DO NOT install car lift on expansion seams or on cracked or defective concrete.
DO NOT install car lift on a second/elevated floor without consulting building architect first.
DO NOT install car lift outdoor as it’s not designed for outdoor conditions.
New concrete must be adequately cured for at least 30 days.
All models MUST be installed on 3,000 PSI reinforced concrete slab only.
New Poured Concrete slab Specifications: Minimum 200 mm thickness.
Old ,unleveled or damaged Concrete slab Specifications:
In this case you can cut out a 1m x 1m square form the old slab, and pour new concrete to a depth
of about 300mm. You can then tie this new section of slab back into the existing slab with Rotary
Hammer Drill drilled in. Do it under all car lift posts.
Specifications of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause car lift failure resulting
in personal injury or death. The floor strength should be suitable to carry the weight of the car lift
plus 2 cars, one on the ground floor and one on the platform.
5.4 Other environment requirements
Temperature required: -30 ºC to 45 ºC
Air humidity：≤80%
Altitude: ≤2000 m
5.5 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Appropriate lifting equipment such as forklift or Hoist.
Rando HD 46 or other good quality garage hydraulic oil.
Chalk line and measure tape.

5.7 BEFORE INSTALLATION
1.Identify the packaging components and check for missing parts. Contact Strongman if shortage
discovered.
2.Installation, adjusting and testing operations are to be performed by qualified staff only.
3.The lift must be installed on a leveled concrete floor, having minimum thickness of 150 mm and an
extension of at least 1500 mm from anchoring points.
4.The lift installation concrete surface must be relatively smooth, leveled in all directions
5.After unloading the package, place it near the intended installation location.
6.Dismantle the steel parts of the lift from the package.
7.Remove the packing materials (steel brackets, cartoons, etc) from the installation site.
CHAPTER 6: INSTALLATION STEPS
6.1 : DETERMINE LOCATION AND MARK WITH CHALK ON THE FLOOR
1.Determine the location for installing the parking unit considering all safety instructions.
2.Place the base on the floor and confirm its location before fixing to the floor.
3.Mark base outline with chalk on floor to ensure no displacement occurs during installation.
Fig 10

Version 1

6.2 INSTALL THE BASE ON THE FLOOR.
Before this step, carry the base by crane or hoist to installation site as it is heavy.
1. Drill each anchor hole in the concrete using a rotary hammer drill. To assure full holding power, do
not oversize the hole or allow drill to wobble. (Fig.11)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole and make certain that the base remains
aligned with the chalk line during this process.
4. If shimming is required, insert the shims with selected thickness as necessary under the base plate
anchor bolts so that when the anchor bolts are tightened, the base will be horizontal. (Fig12).
5. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning2-3 full
turns clockwise. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure.
