1.Steel Material Selection for Warehouse Cargo Lift:
The choice of steel material plays a crucial role in the construction of a durable and reliable warehouse cargo lift. XYZLIFT purchase steel are all from China big and famouse brand steel company, comply with China standard.
Key components to consider include:
- Guardrail: Utilizing high-quality H steel, cargo lift load capacity less than 3000kg preferably 125#H steel, more than 3000kg choose 150 H steel, load capacity more than 5000kg use 175 H steel. ensures the guardrail’s verticality even after extended use.
- Guardrail Beams: Incorporating robust rectangular steel tube beams at a distance of 1.2m enhances the strength and stability of the guardrail. Near lifting system,we choose stronger rectangular steel tube. Below drawing showed the load 3000kg and lift height 5m cargo lift for your reference.
Platform: All platform surface are anti-skid plate, but under the anti-skid plate, it is the base. Base structure decide the load capacity. Before produce warehouse cargo lift, our engineer will calculate and choose right size rectangular steel tube and make drawing. Worker will produce platform accordingly.From cargo lift picture, we could not see the base structure, but it is the important factor. Below drawing is XYZLIFT cargo lift platform base drawing.
- Lift plate: Lift plate height and material use, we may not concern it, but as professional cargo lift manufacturer, we want to share with you, it is really important, because if lift stable is not stronger, the when lift working, lift platform may sway. And cargo lift sliding wheels are all galvanized.
2.Hydraulic motor pump station:
