Hydraulic lift is a type of machine that
uses a hydraulic cylinder to lift and lower
objects by applying relatively small force
compared to the weight of the object to be
lifted.
It’s working is based on Pascal’s Law.
 To fabricate a hydraulic lift with the help
of hydraulic jack at commercially low cost.
 To raise or lower platforms to work on
heavy components such as engines.
 To place the work material on
ergonomically comfortable access points.
 Hollow metal rods of (1X1) inches crosssection is selected.
 They are cut into required lengths and
welded together by arc welding to form
bottom and top metal frames and also the
cross-links.
 Then the metal plates of required length
are welded to the top and bottom metal
frames.
 The rolling wheels are welded at the end
of the cross-links by some supports.
 The cross-links are then connected to the
metal frames by means of Half Threaded
Bolt and Nuts.
 Then the hydraulic jack is placed at the
bottom metal frame by connecting its
stroke to the cross-link.
 The hydraulic jack is manually pumped to
raise the hydraulic lift. Ensure that the
pressure relief valve is closed tightly.
 The pressure relief valve at the bottom of
the hydraulic jack is opened gradually to
lower the lift.
 Hydraulic table lifts are so simple to
operate and move and they eliminate
repetitive strain injury (RSI)
 When not in use and fully retracted
hydraulic table lift take up little space in a
warehouse or office.
 Heavy weights of 100 kg can be lifted easily
to a height of 2 feet by this hydraulic lift.
 In workshops heavy components such as
engines can be lifted to required height so
that we can work on it conveniently.
 It can be used as bike lift by altering its size.
 The height of the lift can be increased by
increasing the stroke length (or) by
adding additional zig-zag links.
 The hydraulic lift can be designed for
high load by using a suitable high
capacity hydraulic cylinder.
Thus a Hydraulic lift to raise 100 kg of
weight up to a height of 2 feet is designed
and fabricated at a commercially low cost.
It is recommended for the engineering
industry and for commercial production.
