Advance Lifts UHC Series 6000 lb Capacity Hydraulic Lift Table

Casters, controls, power units, special decks & moreWheel and Dolly Sets:These are only used to move empty units. Standard pricing is for units with minimum size platforms and end mounted wheels as shown in (Fig 1.) Standard ground clearance is 1/2". Side mounted wheels (Fig. 2) may be special ordered. Special kits for other than minimum size platforms may also be available if you consult the factory.Fork Pockets:The fork pocket option consists of a reinforced base frame with cross tube fork pockets. The lift itself should be equipped with as close as possible to a minimum width platform. Fork truck capacity ratings are typically at 24" out from the mast and wide platforms can mean that the center of gravity of the loaded unit is positioned beyond the rated load center of the fork truck.Caster Sets:These are designed so that loaded lifts can be moved with no damage to the lifts or casters. It should be remembered however, that a 2000# load on a lift presents as much inertia to overcome as a car does and as the capacity of the lifts go up, it becomes increasingly difficult to move a fully loaded unit. Units are equipped with two fixed and two swivel casters to aid steering. Ground clearance varies by unit and caster configuration, but is always at least 1". The standard configuration is end mount (Fig. 3), but side mount (Fig. 4) and bottom mount (Fig. 5) are also available.Bevel Toe Guards:OSHA requires 8" bevel toe guards on all units that are recessed into the floor. This requires a minimum lowered height of 9" and the platforms must be at least 8" longer and 8" wider than standard minimum.Electric Toe Guards:This option acts as foot or limb protection by breaking the "down" circuit of the lift control system whenever the guard is deflected. The unit "up" control remains intact. This option can be applied to either a straight sided or bevel toe guard unit. This option does not work well with accordion skirts.Flanged or "V" Groove Wheel Sets:These guided wheel sets can be mounted in any of the three configurations shown for the caster sets. The flanged wheels typically ride 1/2" by 1-1/2" flat tracks and the "V" groove wheels typically ride 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" inverted angle iron tracks. Higher capacities require larger tracks.Accordion Skirts:This option consists of pleated black and yellow polyester skirting in a bellows configuration. It does prevent small debris from getting into the scissors mechanism, but it is not a substitute for bevel toe guards or electric toe guards. On lifts with oversize platforms the skirts are typically fitted around the leg mechanism, not the edge of the platform.Powered Drive Options:Powered drive options are available in either AC or DC models. The advantage to the AC units is that higher duty cycles are available and there is no need to recharge the units. The advantage to the DC units is freedom of movement with no power cords on the floor and no need for cable reels. These units can be designed for either "V" groove wheels (standard) or flanged wheels. The typical P series lift contains the powered drive power unit in a box 42-1/4" wide by 23-3/8" long on the end of the lift. The height of this box is typically 14-3/4" tall for AC units and DC units would have the batteries on top of the box providing a higher profile.Slip Reducing Decks:Plate manufacturers produce raised pattern plates for better traction which is standard on all dock lifts and an option on all other lifts. We can also embed silica sand in our enamel paint finish on smooth plates, which provides better traction than the embossed plates, but does not hold up to wear as well."V" Cradle Decks:Our standard slope is 1" per foot, which is approximately 5 degrees.Guard Rails and Safety Chains:Whenever personnel will be on elevated lifts, guard rails and safety chains should be added as safety restraints.Conveyors and Ball Transfers:These items are usually supplied by our customers and we simply attach them. However, we can purchase these items as well.Special Finishes:Stainless steel, galvanized, and spray on zinc metalized finishes are available for special rust inhibiting applications. Consult factory for pricing.Polyurethane paint is somewhat self-healing when scratched and is more durable than industrial enamel. Some food preparation applications require polyurethane paint. We are properly equipped and well practiced at applying polyurethane finishes. Depending on the customer specifications the paint itself can cost 4 to 10 times as much as industrial enamels. Consult factory for pricing.Custom matched enamel paint colors are all commonly produced special finishes. Note: Our standard finish is a baked industrial enamel over fully primed surfaces.Warning Devices:Note: Standard voltage for all power units of 1HP or larger is 230/60/3. These units will operate on 208, 220, 230, 240 voltages and if the magnetic overloads are changed, they can be rewired to operate on 440, 460, and 480 voltages also.Electric Power Units:FIG. 2 Deluxe power unit with a separate valve manifold which allows up to eight times more heat dissipation than pump mounted valves for greater endurance and longer component life.FIG. 4 Continuous running external power unit for frequent jogging operations.When to Use Continuous Running Power Units:If an application requires a two second jog every 10 seconds, or 200 motor starts per hour, or a full capacity full travel lift in less than 4 minute intervals, then a continuous running power unit is needed to prevent overheating the motor. If you provide the exact duty cycle requirements for a particular lift model that you are considering, we can tell you if a standard power unit will be sufficient.High Cycle Power Units:True high cycle power units are continuous running and require oil coolers, filters and other modifications which are unique to each application.Hydraulic Fluid Options:For biodegradable and/or fire resistant applications we suggest Dasco 355-2 or equivalent. For food grade operations we suggest Nevastane AW32 or equivalent.Air Operated Power Units:For applications that require positive hydraulic position holding, but avoid the use of electricity, we can provide air operated power units. These units utilize air motors in place of electric motors and air operated solenoids for lowering. Both hand operated and foot operated controls are available.Shop scissor lift accessories online today!

The technology we developed for our UHC lifts is very robust and transferable. In applications with requirements of up to 1,000,000 cycles a less expensive lift can be used. By tailoring the UHC technology to those moderately high cycle applications, a suitably robust lift is feasible which will accommodate a wide range of travels and loads at a significantly lower price. As mentioned elsewhere in this application guide, warranty life and actual useful life of a lift are quite different. Even though the UHC lifts are warranted for 3,000,000, useful life of the lift could well exceed that number depending on load, environment, speed of operation and maintenance quality. The warranty life is a good term to refer to with respect to level of lift robustness. With warranty life as the basis, the moderately high cycle lift is 4 times as robust as a standard lift and the ultra high cycle lift is 12 times as robust.How's that for value?Please contact the factory with your requirements whether it is a standard lift, an Ultra High Cycle Lift or anything in between.

Our lifting mechanism is no simple lift. The unit looks and acts like a machine tool. Precision tolerances are used to ensure the necessary tight fits that produce smooth operation and accurate positioning without the deflections associated with standard lifts. Sliders replace wheels for greater contact area reducing stresses and wear. Cylinders are double acting and connected directly to the platform corners, which provides better load support and less deflection. Special grade alloy steel and custom seals are used in the cylinders to help meet the 3,000,000 cycle life warranty of our UHC lift structure. As with any lift, the load weight, shape and CG location are important in determining the overall dimensions of the ultra high cycle lift. The factory must be contacted for non-standard travel requirements.With the rigid structure of our UHC lift, very accurate positioning can be obtained. Not all applications require extreme accuracy, therefore we offer three levels of position control. Standard is a system of proximity sensors that act like limit switches to control the minimum lowered position and the maximum raised position. This allows operation between these two points with an accuracy and repeatability of approximately ± 1/4". If intermediate positions and/or greater accuracy is required, then for a moderate price increment a position control system that measures platform position is available for use with our standard power unit. This package offers platform indexing up or down, preprogrammed application specific intermediate positioning, accuracy and repeatability to ± 0.030", or any combination of these features. Optional user and network interfaces offer even greater flexibility and system integration. Finally, if greater speeds and/or accuracy are required, then a custom position control system can be provided, but in this case price will need to be determined based on the application and it can become very high, very quickly.The standard hydraulic power unit is capable of providing speeds of up to 40 feet per minute for our UHC lifts and is designed to run continuously. At this speed, a lift will provide a full, up and down through 32" of travel, with a cycle time of 8 seconds. With a 10 HP motor, 20 gallon reservoir, better than 10 micron absolute filtration and an oil cooler, these power units are built to last with a minimum amount of maintenance. Besides the usual hydraulic valving you would find in a high cycle power unit, there is also a PLC controlled proportional valve which is used in part to eliminate shock at the start and stop of a cycle. The standard controls offer two modes of operation, manual and automatic. Manual mode allows the platform to be raised and lowered at a slower speed for maintenance while the automatic mode operates at the lift and lowering speeds which are preprogrammed into the PLC based on the customer’s application requirements.Each of the three systems will be quoted separately providing a modular approach to custom applications. The following is a specification table on our standard Ultra High Cycle lifts.
