HOW IT WORKS

LoRiser Lifts incorporate a state of the art hydraulic system, combined with unique fabrication techniques. Each system is assembled, tested, and shipped from the factory for ease of installation. User benefits of this design insure operator safety, "environmentally friendly" installation, and high productivity with the inground lift design.

INSTALLATION

Standard installations include (1) control console and (2) inground lift containment vaults. Custom designs are available. The vaults (with self opening/closing doors) are installed beneath the floor with the top of the vault at floor level. Channel iron rails on the vault tie into the concrete floor as a part of installation. A 3""PVC chase runs from each containment vault through (or under) the floor to the control cabinet and serves as containment for two hydraulic lines that go from the control console to each lift vault.

RAISING VEHICLE

Vehicles are driven over the lift with automatic positioning of the axle provided by wheel spotting dishes at each end of the lift containment vault. Select axle to be raised at the control panel and depress the RAISE or LOWER button to activate lift. The hydraulic system incorporates an automatic lock of the hydraulic system when the lift is not active allowing locking the lift at any desired position. Double acting cylinders provide rapid escalation and retraction of the jack. The pump action reverses flow to raise or lower lift. Doors open automatically as the lift raises, and close automatically as the lift retracts into floor allowing a "clear floor" when lift is retracted.

CONTROL CONSOLE

The control console requires connecting electrical (220-1-60) to tie-in points provided inside control console. The electric-hydraulic lift system utilizes a two stage pump that insures rapid movement when no load is on the lift, and slower movement when the lift is under load. The upper part of the console houses motor starter and controls. Lower part of console houses the power unit.

LIFT CONTAINMENT VAULTS

Each lift is secured inside a steel fabricated vault. Knockouts are located on the sides and ends of the vault and provide conduit termination. Installations are designed for tying the vault into a new or existing floor.
