Series 35 Scissor Lift Mounts to Automatic Guided Vehicle
Introduction
Series 35 scissor lift integrates with automated guide vehicle for seeding process.
Project Challenge
Innovative Fluid Power – manufacturer of mobile and industrial motion control products contacted Autoquip seeking a lifting product to integrate with an automatic guided vehicle they were developing for one of their agricultural customers. The lift will be used within the customer’s factory as part of their assembly process of seeding equipment.
The customer had used a low cost lift in the past and had encountered mechanical problems and leaky cylinders. The expectations were high to deliver a quality, medium-cycle lift that would not leak, and one that would fit within the design requirements of the automated guide vehicle.
Our Solution
Autoquip presented a Series 35 Scissor Lift – Model #24S35 which is a proven, economical lift product with high quality components. The lift is rated for 2,500 pound capacity, 24 inches of travel and equipped with a 24VDC Power Unit for mobile transport which will perfectly integrate with the automated guided vehicle. We also added accordion skirting to keep the scissor mechanisms including the cylinders protected from debris which will provide longer life and reliability.
