What is vertical aluminum alloy mast lift?

The vertical aluminum alloy mast lift is made of high-strength and high-quality aluminum alloy materials. It has the advantages of beautiful appearance, small size, light weight, stable lifting, safety and reliability. With a lifting height of 4-22 meters, it is widely used in factories, hotels, restaurants, stations, airport theaters, exhibition halls and other places. It is the best safe companion for maintenance of machinery, painting, decoration, replacement of lamps, and cleaning and maintenance of electrical appliances.

Vertical aluminum alloy mast lifts can be divided into single, double, triple, four and tilting types according to the number of masts. This article will focus on the single and double mast lift that sell the most.

How does Vertical aluminum alloy mast lift work?

The working principle of the aluminum alloy lift is to drive the hydraulic pump through the electric motor to generate high-pressure oil, and then transfer the oil to the lifting platform through the hydraulic cylinder, thereby producing lifting motion. The specific working principle is as follows: 1. Start the motor, and the motor drives the hydraulic pump to operate normally. 2. The hydraulic pump draws the hydraulic oil from the tank and delivers it to the hydraulic cylinder through the oil inlet pipe.

In addition, our current mast lifts are all equipped with remote controls. In addition to the button lifting of the machine, they can also be raised and lowered remotely.

What is a single mast lift and what is double mast lift?

Single-mast aluminum alloy lifting platform: The working platform is supported by a single mast and is the earliest aluminum alloy lift. The whole machine is light in weight and flexible in movement, suitable for single-person operation. After being condensed, it can enter general standard doorways and elevators in buildings.

2. Double-mast aluminum alloy lifting platform: The whole is made of high-strength aluminum profiles. Due to the high strength of the profiles, the deflection and swing of the lifting platform are extremely small. It adopts a double-mast structure, with large load capacity, large platform area, excellent stability, flexible operation and easy implementation. Its light appearance enables it to exert the highest lifting capacity in a very small space. This lift is widely used in factories, hotels, buildings, shopping malls, stations, airports, stadiums, etc. It can be used for installation and maintenance of power lines, lighting appliances, overhead pipelines, etc., as well as for high-altitude operations such as high-altitude cleaning and other single-person work.

How should they move?

For the relatively small single mast lift, the staff can drag it directly. After our testing, adults can drag it easily.

But how to move it if it is a 14m double mast lift? Because its dead weight is already 800KG, it would be difficult to drag it directly. At this time, you can add an additional configuration: auxiliary mobile walking. On the basis of the original machine, an additional battery is added to achieve power-assisted movement. The battery we added is a maintenance-free battery and is very durable.

What's the difference between them?

1. Load capacity: The maximum load capacity of a single mast is 100KG, while the maximum load capacity of a double mast is 200KG.

2. Table size: The table size of a single mast is 600*600mm, and it can only carry one worker during work. The table size of the double mast ranges from *600mm to *600mm, which is enough to accommodate two workers working at the same time.

3. Lifting height: The lifting height of a single mast ranges from the lowest to the highest 4m-10m. The lifting height of the double mast is 4m-14m.

4. Stability: The double mast adds an extra mast to the single mast, which will make the table rise and fall and the stability during the work process better than that of the single mast.

What are the optional configurations?

1. DC battery: The standard equipment is AC power (needs to be connected to the power supply). This configuration replaces the original standard power with DC power (battery power). The battery is 24V. The charging time is about 10 hours. Normally. The usage time is 6-9 hours.

2. AC and DC dual-purpose: upgrade the power to a hybrid power of AC and DC.

3. Hand pump: If the equipment is used in flour mills or some places where fires and explosions are extremely likely to occur, a hand pump can be added for manual lifting. To prevent electronic sparks and explosion.

4. Assisted walking: For some equipment with heavy weight, this configuration can be added. It is convenient for walking. After adding this configuration, the power is directly replaced by battery power. You can also choose AC and DC assisted walking.

5. Replace tires: The standard tires are anti-wear polyester wheels, and you can choose to replace them with solid tires or pneumatic tires.

6. The distribution box can be replaced with a high-end distribution box.

7. Explosion-proof device: motor, distribution box, limit switch, upper control button, but only 380 power supply is available.

How should we choose products that are more suitable for us?

Each customer has different needs for products. How to choose the equipment that suits them first depends on where the equipment is used. What are the requirements for height, load capacity, table size, etc.? Choose a more suitable machine based on different requirements.

Every job site requires specific equipment to get the job done. Workers often need to work from high places with more security than a simple ladder can provide. Other times, setting up complex scaffolding structures could be more time-consuming than the actual task should take. This is where aerial lifts come into play.

Aerial lifts give workers stable, flexible access to high places on the job site by means of aerial work platforms. When you’re on the market to buy or rent an aerial lift, you must make sure you’re choosing the right one for your needs that will help you complete your task in the most efficient way possible.

What Are the Different Types of Aerial Lifts?

When it comes to aerial lifts, there are three main types you should know about: scissor lifts, boom lifts, and vertical mast lifts. While they may appear similar at first glance, each of these lifts serves a unique purpose and is best suited for different jobs and environments.

1. Scissor Lift

A scissor lift’s base is the same size as the aerial work platform. The platform rises vertically, giving workers access to areas directly overhead of the base. Often, the aerial work platform has an extension deck to increase the horizontal distance that workers can access when performing their tasks. The height they can reach varies from 10 feet to over 20 feet, depending on the manufacturer and model.

The two main types of scissor lifts are:

• Electric slab scissor lifts: Electric scissor lifts run on electricity. This makes them ideal for indoor job sites where workers must keep emissions to a minimum.
• Rough terrain scissor lifts: Rough terrain scissor lifts can be either engine-powered or hybrid and are ideal for outdoor work where rough terrain is present. They generally can lift more workers at once and have four-wheel drive options for easier job site navigation.

2. Boom Lift

Boom lifts help workers access hard-to-reach, high places. They provide a sturdy base, raising and moving the aerial work platform via an extendable, controllable arm or boom. Boom lifts provide vertical and horizontal control, giving workers greater flexibility when approaching the area where they’ll be working. Boom lifts can reach areas at least 30 feet high and beyond 100 feet high.

Here are three of the main types of boom lifts:

• Telescopic boom lifts: Telescopic boom lifts raise the aerial work platform via a boom that extends in a straight line from the base, like a collapsable telescope.
• Articulating boom lifts: The boom on an articulating boom lift has several sections connected by hinges that articulate. This allows workers to access areas that are extremely difficult to reach, moving the aerial work platform over barriers and obstacles.
• Towable boom lifts: Towable boom lifts offer easy transportation for construction companies who need to access high places on their job site. They can hitch to the back of a pickup truck, removing the need for heavy machinery to transport a larger boom lift. These lifts can be electric or gas-powered.

3. Vertical Mast Lift

Vertical mast lifts raise workers on the aerial work platform via a mast or vertically articulating arm. They take up little space and are relatively lightweight, making them ideal for more crowded work sites. Both self-powered and push-around vertical mast lifts exist, although push-around vertical mast lifts require outriggers for proper stability.

Which Lift Is Best for Your Application?

Here are some questions to ask to help you choose the best aerial lift for your application:

• How high do you need to go? The height you need to reach will affect which types of aerial lifts you should consider. A telescoping boom lift can help you reach maximum heights, while scissor lifts or a vertical mast lift might be a better choice for lower applications.
• Are there obstacles in the way? Obstacles will present a challenge on some job sites, but you can get around them with the right aerial lift. A telescoping boom lift can help you reach areas with obstacles directly beneath, while an articulating boom lift can help you get over and around obstacles in flexible ways. If no obstacles are present, you may be able to approach the work area with a towable boom lift, scissor lift or vertical mast lift.
• How many workers will be in the lift at the same time? Some work tasks require several employees in the aerial lift simultaneously. In these instances, you may need a rough terrain scissor lift or a boom lift. Electric slab scissor lifts and vertical mast lifts are ideal when fewer workers need to be on the aerial lift platform at a time.
• Do you need a power source? Sometimes, the need for a power source will necessitate certain types of aerial lifts on the job site. Electric-powered lifts need a way to recharge. If no power source is present, a gas-powered aerial lift will be the right option.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Aerial Lift

Besides asking yourself the above questions, there are some unique factors you need to consider. Understanding how the following factors affect your job site will help you choose the right aerial lift for your needs:

• Manufacturer: Research the best manufacturers of aerial lifts. This is especially important if you’re looking to buy a new or used aerial lift, but it’ll also affect your experience when renting one.
• Indoor vs. outdoor work: Indoor and outdoor job sites have very different needs, so consider where you’re working when choosing an aerial lift. This includes factors like available power sources, obstacles and the kind of terrain you’ll be working on.
• Available space and movement requirements: Analyze your job site to know how much space you’ll have to work with regarding the use of your chosen aerial lift. Tighter working environments may require an aerial lift that takes up minimal space with flexible movement options. If you have plenty of space to work with and need the extra weight handling and height, you may be able to use a boom lift.
