Spiral scissors lifts offer a dependable and unique mechanical lifting solution to raising a load to any elevation from beneath with a continuous, stacked spiral column of interlocked horizontal rings and vertical bands. This proprietary spiral design provides a high degree of precision and repeatability, and can be used in single or multiple columns depending on the load capacity. The Spiralift mechanism is located inside the base at the clevis end of the scissors lift, is driven through a gear reducer and powered by an electric brake motor, and is stabilized with the scissors leg assembly. Desired elevations can be preset with the use of a resolver or encoder through a PLC programmable controller and accurately repeated with each lift cycle.
