Modern lifting equipment is used in almost all areas of the national economy. It is used in restaurants and canteens, warehouses and hospitals, large businesses and residential buildings. Without elevator equipment, the life of modern society would probably stop.
All lifting equipment can be roughly divided into two large groups: lifts and hoists. What is the difference between lifts and lifts? We can say that lifts are simplified versions of lifts. Their main advantages are mobility and lower cost. What are the features of freight elevators and lifts? What are their types? Let's take a look.

Lifts
There are cantilever, shaft and scissor lifts. Cantilever lifts consist of one or two truss-masts, along which the loading platform moves. They are widely used in industrial plants, construction sites, warehouses.
Shaft-type mechanisms are devices in which the loading platform is moved inside a steel shaft. These are more basic structures, usually designed for the movement of people and goods.
Scissor lifts or lifting tables are a platform that is lifted by a hydraulic scissor mechanism. Such systems are successfully used in auto workshops, in construction, in industrial enterprises. They are designed for lifting loads weighing up to 1 ton.
