Chapter 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE
MACHINE
Four-post lifts are fixed installations, i.e. anchored to the
floor; the units are designed and built for lifting cars and
vans and holding them in an elevated position.
The units are essentially made up of a fixed part that is
anchored to the floor (posts) and a moving part (cross-
pieces and platforms). The operation is electro-hydraulic.
There are four basic parts of the lifts:
●Fixed structure assembly;
●Movable structure assembly;
●Lifting assembly;
●Safety devices.
Fig. 1 shows the various parts of the lift and the operating
zones in the surrounding area.
Fig. 1
The lift is composed of the following main parts:
●Control side post (conventionally the front right-hand
post) (Fig. 1-1)
●Front left post (Fig. 1-2)
●Rear left post (Fig. 1-3)
●Rear right post (Fig. 1-4)
●Control side cross-piece (front cross-piece) (Fig. 1-5)
●Rear cross-piece (Fig. 1-6)
●Right fixed platform (Fig. 1-7)
●Left moving platform (Fig. 1-8)
Operator side: this is the front of the lift, including the
area reserved for the operator with the control panel. The
operator side is opposite the vehicle access side.
Rear side: it is the side opposed the operator ’s one, with
the lift access ramps.
Right and left sides: the r ight and left is considered
from the operator’s standpoint when facing the lift.
Danger zone: an area that must be kept clear of persons
when the lift is in use; refer to Chapter “Safety devices” for
details.
1.1 FIXED STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY
The structure includes the four vertical posts in bent steel
plate with a pre-drilled base plate for expansion anchors to
secure the unit to the floor (see Chapter 4 “Installation”).
Each post houses:
●a safety rod with slots (Fig.2-2) to engage the safety
wedges;
●a steel cable for lifting (Fig. 2-1);
●a guide for the cross-piece vertical sliding (Fig. 2-3).
Fig. 2
The following parts are anchored to the top of each post:
●End of safety rod (Fig. 3-2), (secured with M20 nut
and lock nut, class 8.8);

●The end of the steel cable (Fig. 3-1), which is fitted
with an M20 threaded shank (fixed with M20 nut and
lock nut, class 6S).
The length of the cables can be perfectly adjusted, also to
take up slack due to stretching, thanks to the length of the
threaded shanks on the ends of the cables.
Fig. 3
1.2 MOVABLE STRUCTURE
The movable structure consist of two cross-pieces and two
platforms.
Each cross-piece translates vertically between two posts.
Fig. 6
As shown in Fig.6, the ends of the cross-pieces are fitted
with the following parts:
●Return pulleys (Fig. 6-4) for the lift cable
●Mechanical safety devices (wedges) (Fig. 6-1 and
Fig. 6-2)
The wedge (Fig. 6-2) will engage automatically during
lifting and when the lift is raised. To start the LOWERING
cycle the wedges must be disengaged by hand or using an
electro-pneumatic control (optional) when lowering.
The safety wedge (Fig. 6-1) take the weight in the event
of a cable failure; the wedge automatically engages with
the safety rods and immediately stops the movable section
of the lift together with the vehicle; the cable micro-switch
disconnects the electrical parts.
The two platforms (Fig. 7) are supported on the cross-
pieces.
Fig. 7
The right platform (Fig. 7-6) has no adjustment; the left
platform (Fig. 7-2) is free to slide across the width of the
lifting area to adapt to the track width of the vehicle being
lifted.
Both platforms have inside rails (Fig. 7-6) for rolling jack,
and fixed wheel stops (Fig. 7-7) to stop the vehicle from
going beyond the ends of the platforms.
The access ramps (Fig. 7-4), pivoted to the platforms,
automatically reach a vertical position when the platforms
lift, thereby securing the vehicle also from the access end.
The following components are located beneath the fixed
platform (Fig. 8), and are accessible only from underneath:
●Hydraulic lift cylinder (Fig. 8-3)
●Parachute safety valve (Fig. 8-2)
●Clevis coupling (Fig. 8-1) for the steel cables
●Two cable return pulley assemblies (Fig. 8-4)
