Unlike mobile lifts, this stationary system is permanently installed, offering unmatched stability, durability, and precision for tasks like equipment maintenance, inventory stacking, or elevated work. As a leading manufacturer, Huichuang Lift combines cutting-edge hydraulic technology with robust engineering to deliver lifts that exceed industry standards.
What is a Fixed Hydraulic Scissor Lift Platform?
A fixed hydraulic scissor lift platform uses a scissor mechanism (interlocking steel arms) driven by hydraulic cylinders to lift a platform vertically. Unlike electric scissor lifts, hydraulic systems provide smoother, faster, and more powerful ascending/descending, making them ideal for heavy loads (up to 2,000 kg) and high-rise applications (up to 20 meters). The platform is mounted on a reinforced concrete or steel base, eliminating mobility needs and ensuring long-term stability.

6 Key Tips for Bulk Purchasing Fixed Hydraulic Scissor Lifts
1. Define Your Primary Use Case
Light tasks (warehousing): Opt for HC-3M/HC-6M (200–300kg capacity, 3–6m height).
Heavy-duty industrial work (steel mills): Choose HC-12M/HC-20M-Pro (500–2,000kg, 12–20m height).
2. Match Load Requirements
Calculate total weight (workers + tools + materials). For example, a 2-person team (150kg) + 50kg tools = 200kg base load; add 50% buffer for safety (300kg total).
3. Prioritize Hydraulic System Quality
Huichuang’s proprietary pumps reduce energy consumption by 20% vs. generic models. Ask for a pressure test report (minimum 300 bar for heavy loads).
4. Customize for Your Workspace
Platform shape: L-shaped platforms fit corner racks; oval platforms suit machinery maintenance.
Environment: Explosion-proof motors (ATEX-certified) for oil refineries; cold-resistant hydraulics (-40℃) for cold storage.
5. Evaluate After-Sales Support
Huichuang offers:
2-year warranty on hydraulic systems.
1-year free maintenance (includes oil changes, bolt checks).
48-hour on-site repair for critical issues.
6. Negotiate Logistics
Delivery: FOB Shanghai includes ocean freight to major ports (e.g., Los Angeles, Rotterdam).
Installation: Huichuang provides free on-site setup for orders ≥10 units.
10 Safety Precautions for Fixed Hydraulic Scissor Lifts
1. Pre-Operation Checks
Inspect hydraulic oil level (Huichuang recommends ISO 46 grade, 40℃ viscosity).
Test emergency stop button and overload protection.
Ensure outriggers are fully extended and anchored (for heights ≥12m).
2. Load Limits
Never exceed the rated capacity (e.g., 500kg for HC-12M). Overloading causes arm bending or hydraulic failure.
3. Personnel Training
Only trained operators (certified by Huichuang) may use the lift.
Prohibit standing on the platform edge or leaning over the sides.
4. Environmental Safety
Avoid operation in high winds (>6G, 13.9m/s) or icy conditions (risk of slipping).
Keep the platform ≥1m away from power lines (≥10kV).
5. Regular Inspections
Daily: Clean platform grating; check for oil leaks.
Monthly: Test lift speed and smoothness; lubricate pivot points.
Annually: Replace hydraulic oil; inspect scissors for cracks.
6. Emergency Protocols
If the platform stalls, use the manual lowering valve (located near the base).
In case of fire, cut power and use a CO₂ extinguisher (avoid water on electrical components).
How to Inspect and Maintain a Fixed Hydraulic Scissor Lift
Daily Maintenance
Cleaning: Wipe the platform and scissors with a dry cloth to remove debris (prevents corrosion).
Hydraulic Fluid Check: Ensure oil level is between “MIN” and “MAX” marks (top up with Huichuang’s recommended oil: ISO 46).
Monthly Maintenance
Lubrication: Apply lithium-based grease to pivot pins and scissors joints (reduces friction).
Speed Test: Operate the lift from 0–max height; if it jerks, check for hydraulic line blockages.
Annual Maintenance
Hydraulic System Overhaul: Replace filter elements; bleed air from lines (prevents pump cavitation).
Structural Inspection: Use a ultrasonic tester to check for cracks in the scissors arms (critical for heights ≥15m).
