Features

Durability and Quality

Engineered with a heavy-duty four-post structural steel frame enclosed in full-height wire mesh, this platform delivers rigid vertical guidance across a 7000mm stroke. Powered by a 5.5kW hydraulic unit equipped with a rotary flow divider synchronous motor, all four cylinders extend uniformly under a 2000kg payload. The platform deck incorporates custom removable and flip-up hollow tread plates with strict edge gaps under 150mm and 100mm respectively. Heavy-duty 1.2m perimeter guardrails and anti-fall toe boards (height >= 50mm) protect operators working around central vessel cutouts. Finished in durable industrial blue coating, all components adhere to OSHA workplace platform guidelines

Maintenance and Warranty

Designed for high-intensity equipment servicing, the platform features accessible hydraulic manifolds fitted with oil pressure gauges, liquid level meters, and explosion-proof burst valves. Hydraulic lines and power cables are protected within flexible drag chains and labeled with riveted metal tags for fast maintenance tracking. The control cabinet mounts directly to the structural post and includes PLC password protection. Includes a 12-month structural and hydraulic warranty supported by remote technical diagnostics.

Simplicity 

Operation is streamlined through inching jog controls using either a wireless remote or an overhead pendant wire controller with an emergency stop button. A 5.5kW Delixi electrical system with VFD speed control smoothly regulates hoisting between 2 to 4m/min. Integrated detachable lifting eyes facilitate overhead crane maneuvering during installation and maintenance, as demonstrated in our Custom Maintenance Lifts .

Safety 

Platform safety complies with rigorous ANSI/ASME industrial lift standards .

  • Hydraulic Explosion-Proof Valves: Velocity fuses installed directly on hydraulic cylinders prevent uncontrolled freefall in the event of hose rupture.

  • Synchronous Flow Divider Motor: Mechanical hydraulic flow divider guarantees level elevation across all 4 lifting posts.

  • Door Interlock Disconnect: Access gates feature safety switches that immediately cut power if opened during movement.

  • Safety Harness Anchor Points: 1.2m yellow perimeter guardrails incorporate dedicated safety belt tie-off points.

  • Visual & Audible Warning Array: A 3-color warning light tower with integrated buzzer signals active platform operation.

Application scenarios
  1. Electrolyzer Cell Frame Servicing: Surrounding large industrial electrolyzers and pressure vessels for stack assembly and maintenance.

  2. Heavy Machinery High-Altitude Fitting: Providing stable multi-operator access for assembling heavy hydraulic presses and turbines.

  3. Chemical Vessel & Tower Maintenance: Enclosing cylindrical processing towers with custom hollow tread plates for safe flange torquing.

  4. Energy & Power Plant Equipment Servicing: Elevating technicians and tooling around large generators, boilers, and transformers.

  5. Aero-Engine & Defense Fixture Assembly: Precision positioning of aerospace tooling fixtures using low-speed 2-4m/min VFD controls, as seen in Ergonomic Assembly Tables .

  6. Multi-Column Overhead Crane Servicing: Serving as an elevated staging platform for servicing overhead bridge cranes and hoist rails.

GRADIN OEM/ODM CUSTOMIZATION & DELIVERY POLICY

For this heavy-duty series, we can engineer load capacities up to [300] tons, with platform dimensions and lifting heights customized to your operational envelope. Requirements exceeding our standard engineering matrix will undergo a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by our engineering team to ensure structural viability before proposing a solution.

To initiate the engineering proposal, please provide the following baseline data:

  • Rated Load Capacity

  • Maximum Lifting Height & Closed Height

  • Platform Dimensions (L x W)

  • Duty Cycle (e.g., operational cycles per hour/day)

  • Environmental Conditions (e.g., indoor/outdoor, washdown, explosion-proof)

  • Pit depth or overhead clearance constraints

Yes. The control systems can be equipped with standard communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) utilizing [Siemens / Allen-Bradley / Omron] PLCs. This ensures seamless I/O signal synchronization with upstream/downstream conveyors, AGV/AMR units, and your central control room.

Every custom unit undergoes a mandatory Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) prior to dispatch. This includes continuous operational testing at 100% rated load, static overload testing at [120% / 125%] capacity, and the physical triggering of all mechanical anti-fall and hydraulic safety interlocks. FAT documentation and video proof are included in your engineering package.

Upon final approval of the General Arrangement (GA) drawings, the manufacturing lead time is typically 4 to 8 weeks. Oversized structural components are engineered with a modular design to fit into standard shipping containers (20FT/40HQ). On-site assembly utilizes pre-engineered bolted flange connections and heavy-duty aviation plugs, strictly eliminating the need for field welding.

We provide a standard [12/24]-month warranty covering the structural frame and primary hydraulic/electrical components. To minimize operational downtime, a comprehensive set of standard consumables (e.g., cylinder seal kits, travel switches, relays) is shipped alongside your equipment. During the warranty period, replacement parts for non-human-induced failures are dispatched via priority air freight (DHL/FedEx) within 48 hours.

Beyond the warranty, we guarantee lifetime engineering support. Your custom equipment's CAD drawings, electrical schematics, and BOM (Bill of Materials) are permanently archived in our system. This ensures you receive uninterrupted remote troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and exact spare parts matching for the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
