Hydraulic Maintenance Checklist for Lifting Equipment
Oil, seals and valves fail quietly while the machine keeps lifting. What to check every shift, weekly, monthly and annually on a cargo lift, scissor lift or boom lift.
Floor Loading: Can Your Mezzanine Take a Lift Platform?
A mezzanine is designed for distributed storage load, not for a 2.5 t lift standing on four anchor points. What the structure has to carry, how to check it, and what changes if the answer is no.
How Much Load Capacity Does Your Cargo Lift Really Need?
The weight of the goods is only half the calculation: the pallet truck, the stillage and an off-centre load all sit on the same deck. How to size a cargo lift from the heaviest trip rather than the average one.
Cargo Lift Without a Shaft: How It Works and What to Prepare
No shaft, no machine room and a 300 mm pit: how a guide rail cargo lift carries goods between floors in an existing building, what the rails need from the wall, and how it compares with a freight elevator.
Will the Machine Fit? Measuring Doorways and Access for Scissor Lifts
Machine width is only half the answer: stowed height, turning radius and floor loading all decide whether a platform reaches the job. Every width in our range, mapped against the doorways and goods lifts it will pass.
Articulated or Telescopic Boom Lift: A Practical Buyer Guide
An articulated boom folds to reach over an obstacle; a telescopic boom extends straight for maximum height and radius. Both ranges with real reach figures, the two numbers that decide the choice, and where each machine is used.
Battery or Diesel Aerial Platform: Running Cost Compared
Our 22 m electric and diesel boom lifts share the same chassis, reach and capacity – only the power unit differs. The five factors that decide running cost, where each option wins, and how to compare them honestly.
Warehouse Racking Maintenance: Which Lift Works Best
Racking work is decided by three measurements: top beam height, aisle width and where the work point sits. How scissor lifts, articulated booms and jib mast lifts compare, and the warehouse details people forget to check.
Wheelchair Platform Lifts: What a 3.5 m Installation Involves
A compact platform lift built for a building entrance in Poland across a 3.5 m rise, explained from shaft dimensions to safety ramps, and what to measure before you enquire.
Aerial Work Platform Inspection Checklist Before Every Shift
The walk-round that catches almost every failure before the machine leaves the ground: nine checks at ground level, eight at the platform, plus the monthly and annual routine and the six operator habits behind most faults.
