Your choices are... | |||
Scissor Lift | Scissor lifts use linked, folding, support members. Lifting action occurs when members are drawn together, typically with a screw mechanism. | ||
Screw Lift | Screw lifts employ the mechanical advantage of threads to lift the workpiece vertically. | ||
Rack & Pinion | With rack and pinion lift mechanisms, a small drive-gear (pinion) drives a straight-toothed rack to lift the load. | ||
Telescoping Lift | Telescoping lifts have a lift mechanism with multiple sections that retract and extend into and out of each other. | ||
Articulated Lift | Articulated lifts are multiple-section mechanisms that unfold or articulate to lift a platform or bucket. Cherry pickers are often articulated lifts. | ||
Lift Chain | Lift chains use a lift chain and sprocket. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lifting mechanisms. | ||
