Is It Necessary To Check The Safety Locks Are Engaged When Raising A Vehicle?

When raising a vehicle,if the lift would...

● Sudden loss of oil pressure and burst of oil pipe.

● Sudden breakage of the wire rope or chain.

● The oil cylinder seal is damaged.

Once these special situations occur,such as the mechanical safety lock fails to engage into locking position,the vehicle's gravity will cause the car to quickly  fall down from the lifting arms,at this time,it is easy to cause a major accident of car damage and injury.

Question

When the lift is being raised,how to check the safety locks are engaged to ensure safety?

Answer

When the lift is being raised or lowered,the operator must pay attention on the horizontal state and make sure the status of the safety lock is engaged before continuing to rise or lower.

After the vehicle is lifted or lowered to the desired height,the safety lock    must be engaged and the safety lock must be effective before the operator perform vehicle maintenance work.

Lock on is not only an important safety measure ,but also can help the lift reduce the pressure of hydraulic cylinders,oil pipes,cylinder seals and other     components,protect the safety of operator and vehicles,and extend the life of the hydraulic system of lift,preventing the lift is prematurely worn.

Ensure the safety has always been a topic of great concern to operator,we must make sure they operate properly in the lifting process.
