Electric Stackers Maintenance and Service

1. Despite their advantages, stackers do have limitations. They typically have a lower load capacity
compared to forklifts. This means they may not be suitable for heavy-duty applications or
warehouses that handle bulky or weighty items regularly.

2. Some common hazards associated with stacker forklifts include: Tip-over: Stackers can tip over if
they are not operated within their stability limits. Factors that can contribute to tip-over’s include
overloading, improper load placement, excessive speed during turns, and uneven or unstable
surfaces.

3. Regularly check the Battery system and top up as needed. Keep the unit clean. Dirt and debris can
cause damage to the pallet stacker, so it's essential to keep it clean

4. Strictly implement technical and process standards, strengthen technical inspection, and realize
instrumentation of testing. Adopt advanced non-disassembly detection technology and improve
detection methods to make the maintenance of electric stackers scientific and standardized.

5. Electric stacker truck maintenance operations, including cleaning, supply, inspection, lubrication,
tightening and adjustment, etc. Unless the main assembly fails and must be disassembled, it is
generally not allowed to be disassembled.

6. Electric stacker truck maintenance operations should be strictly organized, strictly abide by
operating procedures, extensively adopt new technologies, new materials, and new processes,
repair or replace parts in a timely manner, improve coordination and extend the service life of
parts.

7. In all forklift maintenance work, it is necessary to strengthen scientific management, establish


and improve the original record statistics system for electric stacker maintenance, and keep abreast
of the technical status of forklifts at any time. Frequently analyze original records and statistical
data, summarize experiences, discover problems, improve maintenance work, and continuously
improve the maintenance quality of forklifts.

Benefits of Scissor Lift in warehouse operation:

There are many benefits to hiring scissor platforms in working and construction sites;
1. Safety
Scissor lifts are used to safely move workers vertically and can be moved easily to different
locations.
2. Productivity
Scissor lifts can be moved easily and safely from one place to another . This will help reduce any
physical effort and fatigue of your workers who operate them and instantly saves time.
3. Flexibility
There are several types of scissor lifts for specific jobs, such as electric powered scissor lifts are best
known for indoor usage while diesel powered scissor platforms are great for outdoor usage and
rough terrains.
4. Compact Design
If you have limited space in your warehouse or storage area and your project requires you to work
at height, scissor lifts are an excellent solution since they are designed to fully retracted and take up
very little space.
5. Access Heights and Spots That Are Hard to Reach
Since some lifts can go up to 32 feet in height, this is a tool that allows your workers to reach spots
that would have otherwise been very hard to get to.

Obviously, height and carrying capacity go hand in hand with total weight. So, the heavier your lift,
the higher the height to which it can extend and the more weight it can carry up with it.

6. Ease of Use
These lifts are particularly easy to operate. The controls are simple and literally foolproof, which
decreases the tiredness of operators. This also means that operators can be trained in the use of this
tool in a couple of days, so you can put it to use with minimal downtime.

7.Compact Size
A scissor lift is basically the most compact type of aerial work platform you will ever find. This is
important when it comes to tight spaces, such as event spaces or tightly packed storehouses where
height access is restricted by stacked crates.

8. Minimum Floor Space


While other aerial work platforms require a lot of floor space to operate, scissor lifts are among the
most compact lifting equipment. The total area required is virtually equivalent to the area of the lift-
able platform, making these lifts easy to store.
9.Easily Customizable
Depending on your business, you might have to customize your lift to fit your business needs.
Scissor lifts are customizable. For example, you can fit yours with tilters to minimize falling risk for
the operator. Or you can fit it with a turntable that allows it to rotate in addition to lifting the
platform up.

10. Economic
Compared to all other alternatives, scissors are arguably the most economic and versatile solution.
You can service an entire warehouse with a single vertical lift. Moreover, hydraulic lifts consume
almost zero power, adding more to their efficiency.

How Scissor Lifts Operate

Ultimately, scissor lifts, along with any type of aerial lift, help technicians reach difficult areas.
Additionally, scissor lifts offer increased stability over other aerial lifts because the criss-crossing
design structure supports a larger work platform. As a result, scissor lifts provide an ideal option to
complete any and all necessary work at elevated locations. Frequently, work teams leverage scissor
lifts instead of ladders because of the enhanced safety features. For example, one of the basic
operational rules forbids operating the lift while the platform is elevated. Finally, scissor lifts, which
vary in size, are great machines for navigating between tight isles (such as in warehouses).

Regardless of the power function, all scissor lifts generally operate in the same manner. First,
operators turn on the lift in order to fill the cylinders with hydraulic fluid or compressed air. As the
fluid and/or air pushes through the lift, the cylinders push outward and the legs start to push apart.
The work platform elevates as the fluid or air continues to flow through the cylinders contained
within the criss-crossed legs of the lift. Conversely, to lower the lift, operators release the fluid or air
pressure and the process reverses.

Finally, the speed of raising or lowering work platforms depends on how powerful the lift is and
how much weight is on the platform.
 Electric Scissor Lifts

Electric scissor lifts leverage a battery-powered engine. As a result, electric scissor lifts
provide a hybrid approach of sufficient power with a quiet engine source. For example,
these lifts do not emit fumes and are less bulky than diesel lifts.

Benefits of Electric Scissor Lifts

Generally, electric scissor lifts help lower the total ownership costs. For example, relying on
a battery-powered motor means no fuel costs. Additionally, as battery technology advances,
electric scissor lifts provide sufficient uptime to power the standard job. Other benefits of
electric scissor lifts include:

 Quieter Work Area


 Zero Emissions
 Fewer Scheduled Services
 Reduced Dependency on Hydraulic Oils
 Ideal for Indoor Use
Finally, electric scissor lifts are still scissor lifts, which means no substantial changes to the
overall design of the aerial lift. Although the electric motor may be slightly less powerful
than diesel engines, these lifts remain highly functional.

Safely Working with Electric Scissor Lifts

Additionally, working safely with aerial lifts means ensuring electric scissor lifts remain in
good condition. As a result, always conduct a pre-use and post-use inspection and remove
any damaged lift prior to using in the field. Plus, check the essentials, every time, such as:

 Tire Pressure - Check tire and wheel pressure to avoid compromising safety concerns
during the operation of the device.
 Personal Safety Equipment - Ensure safety gear, such as gloves, hats, harnesses and
glasses, remain in good condition.

Scissor lift is the most widely used overhead lift. They provide access to hard-to-reach places and
are a more versatile option than typical scaffolding. Their compact size takes up very little space for
storage. They can be used for a wide variety of work tasks, both indoor and outdoor. Like other
industrial equipment, they require regular maintenance. This article explains some of the different
tips and tricks required to effectively maintain scissor lifts.

One more important thing about scissor lifts: Anyone operating them must meet OSHA standards,
which means they have gone through the certification process for both aerial lifts and scissor lifts.

Scissor Lift Maintenance Requirements

Scissor lift platforms must be maintained in accordance with manufacturer's lift maintenance
requirements. Five tips for scissor lift maintenance include:
1. Perform Regular Maintenance

Scissor lifts are not usually used as much as forklifts and other machines. They are also not as tall as
other types of sky lifts. As a result, many companies think it's OK to take it easy on maintenance. It's
not true! Proper maintenance should never be overlooked or overlooked. If something goes wrong
while a worker is in the air, it can result in serious injury or death. Without elevator maintenance
requirements, it is almost impossible to operate scissor lifts safely -- accidents are bound to occur
due to equipment neglect or poor maintenance.

The inspection of the workplace is also an important part of the regular maintenance of scissor
lifts. Scissor lift operators must be able to use lifts safely in the workplace and all workplace hazards
must be addressed accordingly.

2. Create a Maintenance Plan

If you do not have a written maintenance plan for scissor lifts, your safety manager should create a
maintenance guide. For each scissor lift you use, it should also include the following:

 Type of lift

 What kind of maintenance does the manufacturer require


When to perform maintenance

 Scissor lift maintenance list


3. Conduct Daily Scissor Lift Inspections

The key to a long-running, reliable elevator is the scissor elevator's maintenance requirements -
which mean daily visual inspections for obvious operational defects, safety issues, and so
on. Identifying problems before work is the best way to avoid accidents and injuries at work. With
CMO's air freight training and certification, your staff can better identify potential problems. Check
each scissor elevator before each shift. In this way, workers can identify and solve problems before
starting work. Routine inspections can also uncover problems that might not have been noticed
until they led to an accident. Make sure all workers who inspect elevators are trained on what
problems to spot and how to correct them.

4. Use a Scissor Lift Maintenance Checklist.

Using a complete list will ensure that nothing is overlooked. Guidelines for this process include:

Operational

 Check all liquid levels. This includes oil, fuel, coolant and hydraulic pressure. Look out
for any leaks.

 Check the wheels and tires. Check for tread wear and wall cracks or bubbles. Make sure
the tire pressure is at the right PSI. Check the wheels for any structural damage.

 Check steering and brakes to make sure they are working properly.

 Check batteries and chargers. You don't want to lose power at work.

 Check all emergency controls to ensure they are working properly. This includes horns,
gauges, lights and backup alarms.

 Ensure that all personal protective equipment is in place and working properly. These
include safety harnesses, fall-proof devices, and more.

 Components are loose or missing


Work Zone

Look at the dangers:

 There are drops, potholes and unstable surfaces

 Low ceiling

 Slopes, tunnels and ditches

 There was debris on the floor

 Overhead power lines and cables

 Cost barriers

 Blind spots, narrow passageways and busy traffic areas

 Strong winds and other extreme weather conditions

 Pedestrians nearby

If any scissor lift component is damaged, missing or does not work properly, please do not use the
lift until it has been fully repaired. Hazards in the working area must be removed or barricaded to
keep elevators at a safe distance.

5. Maintain a Detailed Maintenance History

A written record should be kept for each maintenance of scissor lifts. Write down what you did,
when and why. This record is required in the event of a scissor lift accident. A detailed history or list
of scissor lift maintenance needs is a good risk management strategy to help prevent accidents and
injuries.

The easiest way to keep accurate logs is to use maintenance software. These programs are designed
to easily create maintenance schedules for scissor lifts and other overhead lifts. They also give
advance notice of upcoming maintenance dates. In this way, scissor lift maintenance work can be
carried out on time.
These software programs maintain a detailed maintenance history of each scissor lift. They also
allow you to compare the maintenance and repair costs of different elevators. That way you'll know
which elevator needs less repair than the others. This helps determine whether it is more cost-
effective to repair or replace the elevator.
