Car lifting table in a workshop

Together with a large Viennese elevator company, we planned, manufactured, delivered and installed a car lifting table on site for a car repair shop.

The task was to transport cars from one floor to the next. We were given the dimensions and the desire for the upper stop to be visually appealing.
The maximum load capacity was 2000 kg, the platform measures 5530 x 2850 mm, and the level difference is 4500 mm. The pit at the lower stop has a depth of 950 mm.

At the upper stop, we installed black-coated, 1100mm-high railing gates instead of the 2m-high elevator gates. These allow for a view to the opposite side and into the elevator shaft. This open design also visually enlarges the space in front of the stage.

After on-site installation, the final acceptance test was supervised by a civil engineer. The customer then received comprehensive training on the system. Of course, we also successfully completed the maintenance training for the elevator company.

Tight space - assembly in individual parts

Due to the very tight space and the almost finished construction site, we had to assemble the lifting table in individual parts.

Lifting tables are fully assembled and tested in the factory, but we sometimes have to disassemble them during assembly in order to access the lift shaft.

In this picture the scissors are transported from the vehicle lifting table to the assembly site using a forklift.

Assembly of the platform with customer-provided forklift

Here you can see the platform being lifted from the lifting table into the elevator shaft. This requires a great deal of sensitivity, as the platform is only a few centimeters smaller than the elevator shaft.

Once the platform has reached its position, it is connected to the already mounted scissors.

Railing gate at the upper stop with monitoring

At the upper stops, railing gates were installed on both sides of the lifting table platform.

The customer wanted to be able to see through the elevator shaft from the vehicle lift table to the other side. This also provided better lighting in the shaft.

Both railing gates are equipped with positive contacts and can only be opened when the platform is at the upper stop.

The platform is held in this position with a bolt lock. This prevents the platform from sinking, even when loading.

View from above into the lift shaft from the vehicle lifting table

Here you can see the scissor lift at the lower stop. The open design allows you to see into the elevator shaft.

An asymmetrical elevator door would be installed at the lower stop. One door panel would be smaller than the other. This was necessary to ensure sufficient space for maneuvering cars outside the elevator shaft when the revolving doors were open.

The door at the lower stop can only be opened if the vehicle lift table is properly positioned at this level. The door is equipped with an emergency release for maintenance purposes.
