Follow the Operational Instructions Make Your Work Place Safer

Lifts are something which is needed in more or less every site but can turn out to be accident prone if these are not used properly.

If one needs to segregate lifts in two categories then pneumatic and hydraulic lifts can be the major classes of these. A pneumatic lift works on air dynamics and can be used to fulfil swifter tasks which do not involve heavy weight lifting etc.

The second category, that is the hydraulic lift, is oil based lifts in which the Pascal’s law is applicable. These types of lifts are used to lift heavy materials to different heights. These are quite extensively used in construction sites, garages, maintenance sites etc.

As the lift ascends, the oil is released with a pressure release valve. The amount of oil released is in accordance with the height the lift is elevated. These lifts have a dual operation that is these can either be operated manually or electrically.

For an electrically operational lift, high speed 1- phase or 3- phase motors are used. The input of these motors depends on the overall height and weight the lift can support. The most commonly used hydraulic lifts are the hydraulic scissor lifts.

These have scissors like criss-cross construction. The lift ascends with each stretch of the arm of the scissor lift. To understand the motion one can relate it to the motion of a collapsible gate which is quite commonly used in schools, colleges, and offices.

A similar model of the same category is the event lift. The event lifts are so designed that they can be easily moved from one place to another. These are strong and provide good support for lifting dancers or dance troupes on stages.

Lifts are used in the theatres in the orchestra pits. These pits are generally made so as to accommodate the music bands of a play. For rock shows, this area is used as stands. The adjustable height of the area with the use of lifts makes it suitable for different purposes.

The adjustment levels go as low as the storage space under the stage, or can be in the mid height from the base or can be raised up to the surface of the stage itself. These are used to lift the pit and make more room for the audience when there is a lack of space.

These lifts are also used in theatres and all for the lighting arrangements and things of all these sorts. So these lifts have multiple areas of usage. So to buy a lift, it is necessary to look for two specifications and those are the height to which the lift can be raised and the amount of weight it can support.

The maximum height which a lift can reach is about 25 feet and that of weight is 5 ton. Essem engineers are one such event lift manufacturer who delivers high-quality products.
