Within Maha UK's range, a typical four-post lift has a single hydraulic cylinder under one of the two platforms which are bolted to a pair of cross members. The cylinder is connected to the top of each post by cables via a series of pulleys and, as it extends, it pulls on the cables which raises the platforms with the cross members. The hydraulic scissor lift essentially serves as two independent platforms with no cross members, up to two cylinders in each platform that push the platform up via a scissor mechanism. Louis Tunmore, Maha UK workshop equipment specialist, reveals that the company's Duo CM 5.0 U scissor lift is "designed for extensive use and actually has fewer parts to wear when compared to a four-post lift, where you have cables and pulleys". In terms of capacities, most modern four-post lifts from Maha are available at four tonnes while its scissor lifts are rated at 4.2t or five tonnes. |
