Industrial Trucks, Part 1: Stacker Trucks and are CE marked in accordance with the Machinery Directive. WP work positioners can also be supplied with accessories,to assist in achieving a safe and efficient workstation. 4 Note! EdmoLift products may be used in applications where they will not comply with the lift table standard EN 1570 or the stacker truck standard EN 1757-Pt.1. There could also be situations where their use means they do not meet other standards.
• Good judgement Training Edmolift´s products are to be operated only by authorized trained personnel with the necessary knowledge of the products´ maintenance and management! It is therefore of utmost importance that, before commencing work with the product, you read this manual and understand the advice relating to safe operation of the product and regulations for Safety at Work Accurate use, inspections, maintenance and operation are crucial for safety at work.
Lift table EdmoLift Lift tables can be used for a wide range of applications. They are basically intended for lifting and lowering of loads which are uniformly distributed over the entire platform, e.g on Euro-pallets. Typical applications are, for example, feeding and stacking components for processing machines, assembly of electrical cabinets, machinery maintenance etc.
Armlifts, Pallet lifts and Tilts EdmoLift’s armlifts, pallet lifts and tilts can be used for a wide range of applications. The Armlifts are basically intended for lifting, lowering and tilting of loads which are uniformly distributed over the entire platform area, e.g. on Europallets, 2-way entry pallets or totebins.

It is difficult to estimate the size of the actual horizontal force, so utmost care must always be taken. As the EdmoLift Arm Lifts are designed for tilting the loads, consideration must also be given to the centre of gravity relating to the height of the load above the platform surface. See the figure below, showing the max. allowed centre of...
•EdmoLift products must be operated safely, carefully and with full attention. •Do not overload EdmoLift products.To avoid instability, aim at placing the load centrally on the platform. Also avoid extending the load outside the platform area and assure the load is steady - if necessary, secure it.

Assessment according to the Machinery Directive be undertaken for the specific work conditions •Persons are not usually permitted to travel on the platform of EdmoLift products or to stay on the platform when it is in the raised position. When travelling on the platform is permitted, this must be clearly and visibly stated on the product’s signage, and in the CE Declaration of Conformity.

Only authorized personnel may operate EdmoLift products EdmoLift products must be operated safely, carefully and with full attention! The control functions UP, DOWN and TILT are operated by “deadman” control, i.e. when a control button is released the machine stops at the position achieved.

Control unit 2. Emergency Stop EdmoLift products are provided with an Emergency Stop button on the control unit. Optional Emergency Stopping devices that are easily accessible from other locations, can also be provided. When an Emergency Stop button is pressed all electrically controlled movements are stopped. The Emergency Stop button is red and clearly visible.

Construction of Lift Table, Armlift, Tilt, and Pallet Lift Hydraulic system EdmoLift hydraulic lifts have, as standard, an integral or remote electro hydraulic power pack. Remote power packs can be supplied to meet specific applications. The hydraulic system is single acting and as standard in accordance with the enclosed hydraulic diagram. The remote power pack is connected to the lift by the hydraulic hose (standard length 3m) supplied with the lift.

Lift Table EdmoLift Lift Tables comprise two or more pairs of scissor arms, with one or more hydraulic cylinders. Lifting and lowering motions are mechanically synchronized by means of crossbeams between the arms and through the platform and base frame.

50 % over the normally permitted lowering speed in the event of a hose burst, for example. Additionally there is a constant flow valve in the power pack valve block, which on leaving the factory is set at a suitable lowering speed of approx. 100 mm/s. EdmoLift Armlifts lift the load with parallel lifting arms. They are available in the following versions, with capacities from 750kg to 3000kg: Model AL ..

85921 GB 2005-02-01 Mechanical construction Tilts EdmoLift tilts will tilt loads with capacities from 6KNm to18KNm. The mechanism comprises upper and lower tilt frames. They are mechanically connected to each other at the tilt joints and crossmembers. The tilt force is created by single or double acting cylinders. Every cylinder has an integral hose break valve which limits the lowering speed to a maximum of 50% over the normally permitted lowering speed in the event of a hose burst, for example. There is also a constant flow valve in the power pack valve unit which, on leaving the factory, is...
Raising is by means of pumping with the foot pedal. A relief valve, set on delivery, limits the lifting force. This valve must not be adjusted without EdmoLift’s agreement. Lowering is by means of pressing the lowering handle, of hold-to- run type, whereby a wire or a rod will open the lowering valve. A flow control valve limits the lowering speed to approx.

Maintenance of Lift Tables, Armlifts, Pallet lifts and Tilts To be carried out once every 3 months, unless the operation and environmental conditions require shorter intervals. Discuss suitable intervals with your EdmoLift representative. Inspections, servicing and repair works must be carried out by competent personnel.

2005-02-01 Fault finding Fault finding should only be carried out by competent persons. Contact EdmoLift if assistance is needed or if the fault cannot be found through the following actions. The service supports must be in place during all inspections and work under the platform.

The oil volume decreases due to oil Quite normal. If it is an inconvenience, cooling. contact EdmoLift for proposal to solve this. Lifting or lowering speeds faster or Flow control valve not correctly set. Adjust the flow control valve slower than desired.

Spare parts General During inspections, servicing and repair work there must be no load on the platform. Only EdmoLift original spare parts are to be used when replacing any parts. Our warranty commitment may otherwise be invalidated Recommended spare parts We keep a stock of all types of spare parts for standard Lift tables.
