3 CHAPTER 3 - PACKING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out
packing, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.
3.1 PACKING
The lift is delivered in many components that appears sub-assembled.
The lay-out is referred to the model.
The model on-floor installation :
No. 2 base units, each one with a platform and hydraulic cylinders
No. 1 control box equipped with hydraulic unit
No. 1 box containing hydraulic lines, connecting cables, four rubber blocks, stickers and
technical documentation
No. 4 drive-on ramps (2 front and 2 rear ramps) equipped with protective devices to
connect platforms
The model in-ground installation:
No. 2 base units, each one with a platform and hydraulic cylinders
No. 1 control box equipped with hydraulic unit
No. 1 box containing hydraulic lines, connection cables, four rubber brackets, 40 mm high,
stickers and technical documentation
No. 2 holes covers
If requested, optional accessories are available to satisfy each customer’s requirements (Ref.
accessories manual and price lists).
The lift is packed in a single box on a wooden bed, wrapped up in non-scratch waterproof material
and sealed with 2 straps.
The average of the package is 520 kg
3.2 LIFTING AND HANDLING
When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading
(e.g. cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure also to hoist and transport the components
securely so that they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight and centre
of gravity and it’s fragile parts.
Figure 1 –PACKAGE AND HANDLING
Hoist and handle only one package at a time
45

3.3 STORAGE AND STACKING OF PACKAGES
Packages must be stored in a covered place, out of direct sunlight and in low humidity, at a
temperature between -10°C and +40°C.
Stacking is not recommended: the package’s narrow base, as well as its considerable weight and
size make it difficult and hazardous.
3.4 DELIVERY AND CHECK OF PACKAGES
When the lift is delivered, check for possible damages due to transport and storage; verify that
what is specified in the manufacturer’s confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in
transit, the customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (keep a safe distance
when opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package
when opening).

4 CHAPTER 4 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 LIFT (Rif. Figure 2)
The lift has been designed to lift motor-vehicles and make them stand at any level between the
minimum and maximum height..
The maximum lifting weight, including any additional load on the vehicle, is as specified on the
serial plate
All mechanical frames, such as platforms, extensions, base frames and arms have been built in
steel plate to make the frame stiff and strong while keeping a low weight
The electro hydraulic operation it will be described in detail more later.
This chapter describes the lift showing the principal elements, so allowing the user to be familiar
with the machine.
As shown in figure 2, the lift is composed of two platforms, the platform 1 (1) and the platform 2
(2) anchored to the ground by means of two base frames (3).
The lift is equipped with drive-up and drive-down (7) ramps, placed at both ends, for easy access
of the vehicle which is lifted by placing the vehicle frame on four rubber pads,
Platforms are linked to the base frame by means of a scissors lifting system (5) and (6).
Platforms, 1450 mm long, can reach a length of 2100 mm with two extractable extensions (4) to
allow longer wheel base vehicles to be lifted
The lifting system of each platform is composed of two arms, one inside (5) and one outside (6)
arms, as well as a pair of cylinders, one primary and one secondary cylinder
Motion is transmitted from the cylinder to the arms directly.
Lift lowering and lifting are carried out by means of a control box (8) (fixed to the ground) placed
next to the lift.

4.3 OPERATION
Platform lifting is carried out by the hydraulic unit which acts upon the primary cylinders.
The platforms are raised simultaneously owing cross feeding of the hydraulic cylinders
( Figure ).
Lowering, even though electrically controlled, is carried out by the weight of both the
platforms and the load lifted.
The hydraulic system is protected by a max pressure control valve thus preventing
pressure from exceeding the maximum fixed safety limit.
Lifting and lowering motion of the lift is controlled by the push buttons on the control
desk panel
Whenever the lift has to be lowered to the ground and the DOWN button is pressed, the
descent is accompanied by an acoustic signal.
In this way, the operator must verify that neither persons nor objects are within the safety
area.
