About This Product

The Car Parking Scissor Lift from Nio Equipment is a fixed hydraulic vehicle lifting platform developed for parking, stacking, storage, and controlled transfer between defined elevations. It uses a full-width platform and heavy-duty scissor structure to support passenger cars, sedans, utility vehicles, fleet vehicles, and other vehicles within the selected load and dimensional limits. The equipment is relevant where restricted floor area makes vertical vehicle movement or high-density storage operationally necessary.

Rather than serving as a general personnel lift or mobile access platform, the system is engineered around vehicle loading geometry, axle loads, wheel positions, approach requirements, and parking duty. It may be integrated into commercial garages, residential parking systems, dealerships, workshops, basement access arrangements, fleet facilities, and automotive production workflows.

Hydraulic Lifting Principle

Pressurized hydraulic fluid acts on the lifting cylinders, causing the scissor arms to extend and raise the vehicle platform vertically. The scissor mechanism converts hydraulic force into controlled lifting motion while its rigid geometry distributes the supported load through the structure. During lowering, hydraulic controls regulate platform descent for predictable vehicle positioning.

The hydraulic power pack is arranged for service access and is selected with the motor, cylinders, controls, travel, and rated capacity as an engineered system. Depending on the final configuration, motor power ranges from 5.5 kW to 15 kW, with a specified 415 V, three-phase, 50 Hz electrical supply.

Vertical Parking Role

The lift creates a controlled vertical route where ramps, extensive circulation lanes, or repeated manual vehicle repositioning may be impractical. In stacking applications, it helps use the available height above a parking footprint; in transfer applications, it connects a loading position with a basement, workshop, storage, or production elevation. This can improve parking organization without changing the equipment into a horizontal vehicle transfer system.

Vehicle movement remains governed by the site layout. Clear ingress and egress paths, landing interfaces, traffic controls, wheel positioning, and safe access boundaries must therefore be considered together with the lifting equipment.

Operating Environment

Typical operating locations include indoor or covered parking areas, clean industrial spaces, basements, workshops, vehicle storage buildings, and protected production facilities with stable foundations. The standard operating context assumes a controlled environment and protection from severe exposure. Outdoor or corrosive locations require project review and may call for weather-resistant paint, custom coating, or hot-dip galvanizing.

The lift can be pit mounted for a low-profile loading interface or floor mounted where excavation is restricted. Its collapsed height ranges from 350 mm to 700 mm, so approach geometry, available headroom, excavation depth, and vehicle ground clearance must be assessed before selecting the arrangement.

Applications

Multi-Level Car Parking

In a multi-level parking workflow, a driver or authorized operator positions the vehicle on the full-width platform at the designated loading point. The hydraulic system then raises or lowers the vehicle to a defined parking or transfer elevation, subject to the building layout and access-control plan. This arrangement is useful where conventional ramps would consume valuable floor area or create difficult circulation paths.

Platform dimensions, travel, control method, and landing protection must match the parking architecture. Photoelectric sensing, wheel stop barriers, mechanical locks, and coordinated operating controls support controlled movement around the lift zone.

Vehicle Stacking Systems

The Car Parking Scissor Lift can form the vertical lifting element in a vehicle stacking arrangement designed to use otherwise unoccupied overhead space. A vehicle is centered within the permitted platform area, lifted to the required stack clearance, and secured according to the operating procedure before the surrounding parking position is used. The selected travel and platform geometry must preserve vehicle, building, and equipment clearances throughout the cycle.

This application is particularly relevant for high-density garages, residential properties, valet operations, and vehicle storage locations. The lift travel can be engineered within the supported 1800 mm to 3000 mm range to suit the intended stack or transfer height.

Basement Vehicle Access

Where a ramp cannot be accommodated efficiently, the lift can provide controlled vertical vehicle transfer between an access level and a basement parking area. The workflow requires suitable vehicle approach space at both levels, protected landing zones, traffic coordination, and structural provisions around the lift opening. It also requires careful planning for drainage, environmental exposure, power-pack placement, and emergency access.

A pit-mounted configuration can provide a more level loading interface when site excavation is feasible. If pit construction is restricted, a floor-mounted arrangement may be evaluated with appropriate ramps, approach transitions, and clearance checks.

Dealership Stock Storage

Vehicle dealerships can use the lift to move display, inventory, demonstration, or service vehicles between showroom, storage, and workshop elevations. Controlled vertical transfer helps organize stock where frontage and internal floor space are constrained. Configurable platform dimensions allow the equipment to be matched to the dealership's expected mix of compact cars, sedans, and utility vehicles.

The operating process can be supervised through pendant, remote, PLC, or HMI-based controls, depending on the required level of integration. Vehicle identification, operator authorization, and local traffic procedures remain part of the facility management system.

Workshop Level Access

Automotive service and engineering facilities may use the lift to transfer complete vehicles between workshop bays, test areas, storage floors, or controlled work-in-progress locations. Its full-width chequered plate platform supports the complete vehicle footprint rather than lifting from localized chassis points. This distinguishes the application from service hoists intended to expose a vehicle underbody for repair.

Capacity selection must account for vehicle mass, axle loading, equipment carried in the vehicle, and load distribution. The workshop layout should also preserve access for maintenance, vehicle maneuvering, and safe separation of personnel from the moving platform.

Fleet Parking Management

Fleet operators and car rental facilities can apply the lift to organize vehicle storage across multiple elevations or stacking positions. By creating a repeatable vertical transfer point, the equipment can reduce unnecessary vehicle shuffling and support more orderly dispatch, return, inspection, and storage workflows. Platform size and rated capacity should be based on the heaviest and largest vehicles expected in the managed fleet.

Where the fleet includes unusual wheelbases, utility vehicles, or uneven axle loads, project-specific engineering is advisable. Control integration may also be considered where vehicle movement is coordinated through a wider parking or facility management system.

Automotive Production Transfer

Within automotive manufacturing, the lift can transfer production vehicles, engineering test vehicles, or work-in-progress units between defined production, inspection, staging, and storage elevations. Smooth hydraulic lifting supports controlled movement where interruptions or uncontrolled vehicle positioning could affect adjoining operations. The fixed installation can become part of a planned material-flow route rather than relying on improvised vehicle movement.

Production applications should be reviewed for operating frequency, vehicle condition, axle distribution, required speed, and interface with line controls. Very high cycle demands, complex automation, or non-standard carrier arrangements require engineering evaluation before configuration.

Benefits

Improved Space Utilization

The principal operational benefit is the ability to use vertical space for vehicle storage or transfer. This can increase parking density and reduce the floor area consumed by ramps, circulation routes, or single-level parking layouts. The actual space benefit depends on building geometry, required clearances, traffic planning, and the selected stacking arrangement.

Pit mounting can further improve the loading interface by allowing the collapsed platform to sit closer to the surrounding floor level. Floor mounting provides an alternative where excavation is unavailable, although approach space must then be planned around the collapsed platform height.

Controlled Vehicle Movement

Hydraulic operation provides regulated lifting and lowering rather than relying on manual vehicle handling between elevations. The heavy-duty scissor structure, full-width platform, and rigid lifting geometry support stable vertical movement when the vehicle is correctly positioned within the rated operating envelope. Controlled speed also assists operators in aligning the platform with the intended parking or transfer position.

Mechanical safety locks, an upper travel limit switch, overload protection, and a hydraulic hose burst valve address foreseeable lifting hazards. These systems work with operating procedures and access controls; they do not replace correct loading or trained supervision.

Mixed Fleet Flexibility

Available capacities from 2,000 kg to 5,000 kg and platform sizes from 2500 x 5000 mm to 3000 x 6200 mm allow the lift to be selected for different passenger vehicle profiles. Custom platform geometry can be considered for compact cars, sedans, utility vehicles, or project-specific wheelbases. Selection should be based on the complete fleet envelope rather than a single typical vehicle.

This flexibility can simplify parking operations where several vehicle classes share one facility. It remains essential to verify maximum weight, axle loading, wheel placement, ground clearance, and overall dimensions before permitting each vehicle type.

Workflow Integration

The lift can establish a defined transfer point between parking, basement, workshop, storage, or production levels. This helps coordinate vehicle flow and can reduce repeated manual relocation within congested areas. Pendant, remote, foot-switch, PLC, or HMI control packages may be configured to suit supervised operation or integration with a broader parking system.

Integration can also improve consistency in vehicle positioning and access sequencing. The appropriate control architecture depends on operator visibility, landing arrangement, access restrictions, automation requirements, and the facility's safety strategy.

Lifecycle Service Access

The service-accessible hydraulic power pack supports inspection of the pump, reservoir, controls, hoses, and associated connections. Accessible maintenance points make it easier to perform routine leakage checks, oil-condition reviews, and functional testing without unnecessarily disturbing the vehicle platform. Regular attention to pivots, locks, sensors, fasteners, and structural members supports continued operating reliability.

A fixed, application-specific installation also enables maintenance planning around known loads and movement paths. Equipment life and operating consistency depend on following the supplied documentation and adjusting maintenance activity to usage and environmental conditions.

Technical Highlights

Rated Performance Range

The Car Parking Scissor Lift is available with rated capacities from 2,000 kg to 5,000 kg. Standard selection parameters include platform dimensions from 2500 x 5000 mm to 3000 x 6200 mm, vertical travel from 1800 mm to 3000 mm, and collapsed heights from 350 mm to 700 mm. Supported lifting speeds range from 0.04 m/s to 0.10 m/s, subject to the engineered configuration.

These values must be considered as interdependent rather than selected in isolation. Capacity, platform geometry, travel, speed, motor rating, cylinder sizing, foundation reactions, and duty requirements influence the final design.

Scissor Structure Design

The load-bearing assembly uses heavy-duty fabricated mild steel scissor arms arranged beneath the vehicle platform. As the hydraulic cylinders actuate, the arms rotate around their pivots and extend the platform vertically. The rigid geometry contributes to platform stability and distributes load into the base structure and supporting foundation.

Structural selection must account for gross vehicle weight as well as axle concentration and load distribution. Vehicles with unusual weight bias or non-standard wheel positions should be reviewed rather than assessed only against total rated capacity.

Full-Width Vehicle Platform

A mild steel chequered plate surface provides a durable load interface across the vehicle footprint. The full-width arrangement supports vehicle ingress, wheel placement, and stable parking without relying on narrow lifting points. Wheel stop barriers help define the permitted vehicle position and reduce the risk of unintended movement at the platform edge.

Platform length and width may be customized within project engineering constraints. Vehicle overhang, wheelbase, track width, turning approach, ground clearance, and door-opening needs should all be checked when defining the usable platform envelope.

Hydraulic Power System

A hydraulic power pack supplies pressurized fluid to the lifting cylinders, producing controlled scissor extension and platform elevation. The specified electrical input is 415 V, three-phase, 50 Hz, while motor power ranges from 5.5 kW to 15 kW according to capacity, speed, travel, and application demands. Power-pack placement should allow ventilation, inspection, hose routing, and maintenance access.

A hose burst valve is incorporated to help prevent uncontrolled descent following a hydraulic line failure. Controlled lowering and pressure monitoring complement the mechanical locking system and overload protection.

Control Configuration Options

The control package can be adapted to the operating workflow using pendant, remote, foot-switch, PLC, or HMI interfaces. A simple supervised installation may require direct local control, while a multi-level parking system may require interlocks and coordination with access equipment. The selected package must maintain clear command authority and prevent conflicting movement instructions.

An emergency stop and upper travel limit switch form part of the supported safety arrangement. Photoelectric sensors detect obstructions around the platform, while the final sensor positions and control logic should be coordinated with the site layout.

Protective System Integration

Overload protection prevents operation beyond the selected rated capacity, and mechanical safety locks secure the platform at designated positions. The hydraulic hose burst valve addresses loss-of-pressure descent risk, while the upper limit switch prevents travel beyond the intended upper position. Wheel stop barriers and photoelectric safety sensors provide additional protection at the vehicle and access interfaces.

These devices function as an integrated protective system and require verification during commissioning and maintenance. Site-specific guarding, landing barriers, signage, interlocks, and access controls may also be required according to the installation arrangement.

Industries Served

Commercial Parking Facilities

Commercial garages, valet facilities, shared parking hubs, and high-density urban parking sites use vertical vehicle movement to accommodate more cars within constrained footprints. The lift can connect parking elevations or support stacking workflows while reducing reliance on space-intensive ramp layouts. Typical handled loads include passenger cars, sedans, utility vehicles, rental cars, and managed fleet vehicles.

Configuration depends on vehicle turnover, access direction, floor heights, operator supervision, and integration with barriers or parking controls. Repeated-cycle requirements should be established during engineering selection.

Automotive Manufacturing

Automotive plants may need to move production vehicles, work-in-progress units, engineering vehicles, or test vehicles between assembly, inspection, staging, and storage levels. A fixed hydraulic vehicle lift provides a controlled vertical interface within this material-flow route. It can help coordinate movement where ramps or indirect travel paths would interrupt adjoining operations.

Manufacturing applications may require PLC or HMI controls, line interlocks, custom platform dimensions, or application-specific operating logic. Cycle frequency, vehicle condition, load distribution, and production interfaces should be reviewed before final design.

Dealerships And Workshops

Dealerships use vehicle storage space for inventory, display cars, customer vehicles, and workshop queues, often within buildings that have limited frontage. The lift can transfer these vehicles between showrooms, stock floors, basements, preparation areas, and service levels. Its full-width platform supports complete vehicles and should not be confused with an underbody service hoist.

Workshops can also use the equipment for controlled access between bay levels or engineering test areas. Platform geometry and capacity may be configured around the facility's expected vehicle mix.

Property And Residential

Residential developments and property infrastructure projects frequently face restricted parking footprints, structural columns, basement limitations, and planning constraints. A pit-mounted or floor-mounted automotive parking lift can support private vehicle storage, shared resident parking, or transfer to a basement level. Typical loads include compact cars, family sedans, and compatible utility vehicles.

Selection should consider user simplicity, access control, noise-sensitive surroundings, vehicle variation, power availability, and maintenance access. Civil works and landing protection must be coordinated early with the building design.

Hospitality And Valet Operations

Hotels and hospitality properties may require organized vehicle storage without allocating extensive guest-facing space to ramps and circulation. A supervised Car Parking Scissor Lift can support valet parking, basement transfer, and structured vehicle stacking. The operating workflow should separate guests and pedestrians from the controlled lifting zone.

Control placement, authorization, platform size, traffic sequencing, and emergency arrangements are particularly important in public-facing facilities. Surface finishes may also be selected to suit basement moisture or partially exposed parking environments.

Fleet And Logistics Operations

Fleet operators, automotive logistics facilities, and vehicle dispatch locations manage receiving, inspection, staging, storage, and release of multiple vehicles. The lift can move compatible fleet cars or operational vehicles between defined storage and dispatch elevations, improving organization where floor space is limited. It may also reduce repeated vehicle relocation caused by poorly coordinated storage positions.

Mixed fleets require selection against the largest vehicle footprint, maximum weight, and most demanding axle distribution. Where horizontal transfer dominates the workflow, a dedicated car transfer lift may be more appropriate than a vertical scissor lift.

Why Choose NIO Equipment

Application-Specific Engineering

Nio Equipment approaches the Car Parking Scissor Lift as an engineered vehicle-handling system rather than a generic lift table. Selection can account for vehicle mass, axle loading, platform footprint, travel height, approach geometry, installation arrangement, operating frequency, and surrounding parking workflow. This is especially important where mixed fleets or constrained building layouts make catalogue-only selection unsuitable.

Engineering consultation is appropriate when capacity exceeds the standard 5,000 kg range, platform geometry is non-standard, travel requirements are complex, or foundation conditions restrict a conventional installation. These cases require evaluation rather than unsupported modification of a standard configuration.

Configurable Project Integration

Nio Equipment can configure load capacity, platform dimensions, lift travel, pit or floor mounting, control package, and surface finish according to application requirements. Pendant, remote, foot-switch, PLC, or HMI controls may be selected for supervised operation or parking-system integration. Painted, custom-color, weather-resistant, or hot-dip galvanized finishes can be considered for the intended environment.

Configuration choices are coordinated with practical issues such as excavation availability, vehicle clearances, access direction, operator visibility, and hydraulic power-pack location. This helps procurement teams compare proposals against the actual site requirement rather than only nominal capacity.

In-House Manufacturing Capability

As an India-based manufacturer in Pune, Maharashtra, Nio Equipment combines equipment design and manufacturing capability for hydraulic lifting and material handling applications. This supports coordination between the fabricated mild steel structure, hydraulic system, platform geometry, controls, and protective devices. A manufacturing-led approach is valuable when design changes in one subsystem affect foundation reactions, power requirements, or operating behavior elsewhere.

The resulting specification can be aligned with vehicle handling needs while remaining within the supported technical range. Project documentation and final engineering should identify which features are included and which elements depend on the installation.

Installation Lifecycle Support

Nio Equipment provides installation planning, commissioning support, and after-sales support across India. Site-specific planning can address foundation preparation, pit or floor mounting, electrical availability, hydraulic power-pack placement, clearances, controls, and vehicle access. Commissioning support helps verify that structural, hydraulic, electrical, and safety functions operate together as intended.

After handover, maintenance guidance supports inspection of hydraulic components, scissor pivots, locks, sensors, fasteners, controls, and the platform surface. This lifecycle perspective helps buyers plan not only equipment procurement, but also safe installation, routine service access, and long-term operational responsibility.

Installation Guide

Site And Workflow Assessment

Installation planning should begin with a survey of vehicle routes, parking positions, operating elevations, available headroom, structural constraints, and operator sightlines. The assessment should identify the largest and heaviest vehicle, expected axle loading, operating frequency, approach direction, turning space, and required transfer height. It should also determine how the lift interacts with doors, barriers, traffic lanes, building services, and adjacent operations.

Projects involving unusual fleet profiles, multiple landing heights, demanding cycle rates, or automated parking controls require application-specific review. The selected equipment should be based on measured site and vehicle data rather than nominal parking-bay dimensions alone.

Foundation And Load Path

A level, reinforced foundation is necessary to receive reactions from the lift base and transfer them into the supporting structure. Foundation design should consider the rated vehicle load, lift self-weight, dynamic operating forces, anchor locations, and local building conditions. The civil and structural design remains project-specific and should be coordinated with the final equipment arrangement.

For installations above occupied areas or on suspended slabs, structural suitability requires particular attention. Adequate drainage and protection from water accumulation should also be considered, especially in basements, wash-prone areas, or partially exposed locations.

Pit Mounted Arrangement

A pit-mounted lift can provide a near-level approach by accommodating the collapsed structure below the surrounding floor. Pit dimensions must reflect the selected platform, collapsed height of 350 mm to 700 mm, structural clearances, drainage strategy, service access, and installation tolerances. Excavation should not proceed from preliminary assumptions because the final arrangement may vary with capacity and travel.

The pit perimeter requires suitable edge protection and coordination with platform movement. Access for cleaning, inspection, and safe maintenance must be included without creating uncontrolled entry into the machinery zone.

Floor Mounted Arrangement

Floor mounting avoids a dedicated excavation but places the collapsed platform above floor level. Approach ramps or transitions may therefore be needed to accommodate vehicle ground clearance and provide controlled loading. The layout must allow sufficient run-up distance and prevent contact between the vehicle underbody and the approach interface.

Floor mounting can be useful where excavation is restricted or building conditions make a pit impractical. It still requires a verified foundation, anchoring arrangement, operating clearances, and protection around the exposed mechanism.

Power And Control Planning

The installation requires access to a 415 V, three-phase, 50 Hz supply suitable for the selected 5.5 kW to 15 kW motor configuration. Electrical planning should include the control panel, emergency stop locations, isolation provisions, cable routing, earthing, and protection appropriate to the operating environment. The hydraulic power pack should be located where hose runs can be managed and service personnel can work safely.

PLC or HMI integration, remote commands, automated barriers, and multi-level interlocks must be defined before control manufacture. The control philosophy should establish who can operate the lift, from which positions, and under what access conditions.

Commissioning And Handover

Commissioning should verify platform alignment, full travel, controlled lowering, limit-switch operation, mechanical lock engagement, sensor response, overload protection, emergency stopping, and hydraulic integrity. Functional checks should be completed first under controlled conditions and then with an appropriate test load in accordance with the equipment documentation. Landing interfaces, wheel stops, signage, barriers, and access controls should also be reviewed as part of the complete installation.

Operators and maintenance personnel require instruction before the lift enters service. Handover should include the approved operating procedure, equipment documentation, maintenance requirements, isolation method, and project-specific loading restrictions.

Maintenance Guide

Routine Condition Inspection

Routine inspection should check the platform for deformation, damaged chequered plate, contamination, corrosion, and loose wheel stop barriers. The scissor arms, base frame, weld areas, pivot locations, and visible fasteners should be examined for wear, cracking, movement, or impact damage. Any unusual noise, vibration, platform tilt, or change in lifting behavior should be investigated before continued operation.

Inspection frequency should reflect operating cycles, vehicle loads, environmental exposure, and the equipment documentation. Observations should be recorded so gradual changes can be identified rather than treated as isolated events.

Hydraulic System Care

The hydraulic reservoir, oil condition, cylinders, seals, hoses, fittings, valves, and power-pack connections require periodic attention. Leakage, hose abrasion, damaged fittings, abnormal temperature, slow response, or inconsistent motion can indicate developing hydraulic problems. Hydraulic oil should be inspected and serviced according to operating conditions and the recommendations supplied with the equipment.

Repairs must use compatible components and should not alter pressure settings or descent controls without authorization. Hydraulic energy must be safely isolated and the platform mechanically secured before personnel enter a hazardous maintenance area.

Pivots And Fasteners

Scissor-arm pivots and other designated lubrication points should be serviced with the specified lubricant to control friction and wear. Pivot pins, bushes, retaining elements, anchors, and structural fasteners should be checked for looseness, displacement, or deterioration. Fastener torque verification should follow the equipment documentation rather than relying on visual assessment alone.

Poor lubrication or loosened joints can affect alignment and produce irregular platform movement. Maintenance personnel should address the cause of recurring wear rather than repeatedly adjusting individual components.

Controls And Sensors

Emergency stops, control buttons, upper travel limit switches, photoelectric sensors, overload protection, and mechanical lock feedback should be functionally tested at appropriate intervals. Sensor lenses and detection paths must remain clean and correctly aligned, especially in dusty parking or workshop environments. Damaged cables, loose terminals, moisture ingress, or intermittent control response require prompt correction.

Control logic and safety settings should not be bypassed to maintain production or parking availability. Any software or hardware change should be reviewed against the approved operating sequence and recommissioned.

Safety Lock Verification

Mechanical safety locks must engage and release correctly through their intended operating range. The hydraulic hose burst valve and controlled lowering function should also be verified using approved test procedures. Wheel barriers, safety signage, access restrictions, and any site-installed guarding should remain secure and legible.

Preventive maintenance is important because the lift depends on structural, hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical systems working together. Returning equipment to service after repair should include a documented operational test without exposing personnel to the moving platform.

Safety Guide

Authorized Operation Only

Only trained and authorized personnel should control vehicle loading, lifting, lowering, and release from the platform. Operators must understand control functions, emergency stops, access restrictions, vehicle positioning, and the meaning of safety indications. The Car Parking Scissor Lift is intended for vehicle movement and must not be used for personnel transportation.

The operating area should be controlled so pedestrians cannot enter beneath or beside the moving platform. Site procedures should define traffic priority, communication between levels, and responsibility for confirming that the lift path is clear.

Capacity And Vehicle Checks

Every vehicle must remain within the configured rated capacity of 2,000 kg to 5,000 kg and within the approved platform envelope. Operators should consider total vehicle weight, accessories, carried contents, axle concentrations, wheelbase, track width, and load distribution. A vehicle should not be accepted merely because its overall mass appears to be below the nameplate rating.

Oversized vehicles or unusual axle arrangements require engineering review. Changes to platform dimensions, wheel stops, structural members, hydraulic settings, or capacity markings must not be made without authorization.

Safe Vehicle Positioning

The vehicle should enter at low speed, follow the designated approach, and stop within the approved wheel position on the full-width platform. Wheel stop barriers help define the safe loading limit, but operators must still verify overhang, clearance, and centered load placement. The vehicle should be secured against unintended movement before lifting begins.

Ingress and egress are permitted only when the platform is at the correct loading position and movement has been prevented. Doors, passengers, loose items, and surrounding obstructions should be managed according to the site operating procedure before activation.

Protective Device Use

Overload protection, mechanical safety locks, the hydraulic hose burst valve, upper travel limit switch, photoelectric sensors, wheel stop barriers, and emergency stops must remain operational. These devices should be checked before use as required by the equipment documentation and should never be bypassed. If a protective device activates unexpectedly, the cause should be identified before restarting the lift.

Photoelectric sensing helps detect obstructions but does not eliminate the need for controlled access and operator observation. Additional landing barriers, guarding, warning devices, or interlocks may be required according to the building and parking layout.

Maintenance Isolation Controls

Before maintenance, the electrical supply must be isolated and hydraulic energy controlled using the approved lockout method. The raised platform must be supported by the designated mechanical safety arrangement before anyone approaches a crush or shear zone. Reliance on hydraulic pressure alone is not an acceptable method of supporting the platform during service.

Maintenance should be performed by competent personnel using approved parts and procedures. After intervention, guards, locks, sensors, controls, and emergency systems must be restored and tested before normal vehicle operation resumes.
