Challenge

  • The equipment is installed outdoors, adjacent to a building wall, and operates up to the rooftop level.
  • The site is located in a chemical industrial park, requiring strict explosion-proof and safety compliance.
  • No pit excavation was allowed, increasing the complexity of structural and access design.
  • Large and heavy materials needed to be transported vertically across two levels, with stable and precise positioning.
  • The client required a fully enclosed structure to prevent dust, weather exposure, and safety risks.

Structural & Mechanical Design

  • Structure Type: 2 Hydraulic Cylinders + 4 Guide Rails
  • Guide Rails: 125 × 125 H-beam, national standard steel
  • Hydraulic Cylinders: Φ80 / 60 × 2
  • Platform Frame: 120 × 60 × 4 mm rectangular steel tube
  • Platform Deck Plate: 4 mm thick steel plate
  • Pump Station: 4 kW hydraulic power unit
  • Hydraulic Oil Pipe: Ø22 mm
  • Chain: LH1244 × 4
  • Wire Rope: Φ14 mm, 4 + 4 configuration
  • Speed: Double-speed lifting system for higher efficiency

Explosion-Proof & Safety Features

  • Explosion-Proof Rating: Ex d ⅡB T4
  • Corrosion Protection Grade: WF1
  • Explosion-Proof Components: Motor, valves, electrical system
  • Hydraulic Safety:
    • Explosion-proof valve
    • Pressure gauge
    • Oil level indicator
  • Door Interlock System: Power cut-off when doors are opened

Enclosure & Access Design

  • Platform Guardrails:
    • Height: 1200 mm
    • Enclosed with diamond-pattern metal mesh
  • Landing Doors:
    • Size: 2000 × 2200 mm (W × H)
    • Quantity: 2 sets
    • Made of color steel plates
    • Equipped with horizontal and bottom locking bolts
  • Full External Enclosure:
    • Color steel panel enclosure for the entire lift structure
    • Creates a sealed and protected operating space
  • Pit Requirement: None
  • Ramp: A loading ramp provided on the ground floor

Installation & Logistics Advantages
