Chapter 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE
MACHINE
Four-post lifts are fixed installations, i.e. anchored to the
floor; the units are designed and built for lifting cars and
vans and holding them in an elevated position.
The units are essentially made up of a fixed part that is
anchored to the floor (posts) and a moving part (cross-
pieces and platforms). The operation is electro-hydraulic.
There are four basic parts of the lifts:
●
Fixed structure assembly;
●
Movable structure assembly;
●
Lifting assembly;
●
Safety devices.
Fig. 1
shows the various parts of the lift and the operating
zones in the surrounding area.
Fig. 1
The lift is composed of the following main parts:
●
Control side post (conventionally the front right-hand
post)
(Fig. 1-1)
●
Front left post
(Fig. 1-2)
●
Rear left post
(Fig. 1-3)
●
Rear right post
(Fig. 1-4)
●
Control side cross-piece (front cross-piece)
(Fig. 1-5)
●
Rear cross-piece
(Fig. 1-6)
●
Right fixed platform
(Fig. 1-7)
●
Left moving platform
(Fig. 1-8)
Operator side:
this is the front of the lift, including the
area reserved for the operator with the control panel. The
operator side is opposite the vehicle access side.
Rear side:
it is the side opposed the operator ’s one, with
the lift access ramps.
Right and left sides:
the right and left is considered
from the operator’s standpoint when facing the lift.
Danger zone:
an area that must be kept clear of persons
when the lift is in use; refer to
Chapter “Safety devices”
for
details.

●
a safety rod with slots
(Fig.2-2)
to engage the safety
wedges;
●
