 WHAT IS HYDRAULIC LIFT?
Hydraulic lift is a device used for carrying
passenger or goods from one floor to another
in multi- storied building to raise heavy
objects.
History of hydraulic lift

 The need for vertical transport is as old as

civilization. Over the centuries, mankind has
employed ingenious forms of lifting.
 The first elevator designed for a passenger was built
in 1743 for King Louis XV at his palace in France. The
one-person contraption went up only one floor, from
the first to the second. Known as the "Flying Chair," it
was on the outside of the building, and was entered
by the king via his balcony.
 By 1850 steam and hydraulic elevators had been
introduced, but it was in 1852 that the landmark
event in elevator history occurred: the invention of
the world's first safety elevator by Elisha Graves Otis.
The first passenger elevator was installed by Otis in
New York in 1857.
WORKING PRINCIPLE

 Pascal's law is a principle in fluid

mechanics that states that pressure exerted
anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is
transmitted equally in all directions throughout
the fluid such that the pressure variations
(initial differences) remain the same.
 This law is applied to lifts.

DIRECT ACTING HYDRAULIC
LIFT

 When fluid under pressure is forced into the

cylinder, the ram gets a push upward. The
platform carries loads or passengers and
moves between the guides. At required
height, it can be made to stay in level with
each floor so that the good or passengers can
be transferred.
 In direct acting hydraulic lift, stroke of the
ram is equal to the lift of the cage.
 CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Components of direct acting
hydraulic lift:
 Fixed cylinder: It is fixed with the
wall of the floor, where the sliding
ram reciprocate when we apply the
pressure.
 Cage: It is fitted on the top of the
sliding ram where the load is placed
(i.e. lifted load).
 Sliding ram: It is fitted in the fixed
cylinder which is reciprocate
(upward or downward direction)
when we applied the pressure (i.e.
reaches the floor wise.)
SUSPENDED HYDRAULIC LIFT

WORKING :-
 When fluid under pressure is forced into the cylinder,
the ram gets reciprocate to the movable pulleys. With
the help of arrangement of hydraulic jigger; pulley can
rotates; with the help of wire rope the cage is maintain
there pressure force with there floor. At required
height, it can be made to stay in level with each floor
so that the good or passengers can be transferred.
 Working period of the lift is ratio of the height of lift to
the velocity of lift.
 Idle period of lift is the difference of the total time for
one operation and the working period of the lift.
 CONSTRUCTION:-
 Cage: It is fitted on the top of the sliding
ram where the load is placed (i.e. lifted
load).
 Wire rope: It connects the cage to pulley.
 Sliding ram: It is fitted in the fixed
cylinder which is reciprocate (upward or
downward direction) when we applied
the pressure (i.e. reaches the floor wise)
 Pulleys: pulleys are connected to the
sliding ram and fixed cylinder; where one
pulley is fixed and other pulley is
movable.
 Hydraulic jigger: It consists of a moving
ram which slides inside a fixed hydraulic
cylinder.
 Fixed cylinder-: It is fixed with the wall
of the floor, where the sliding ram
reciprocate when we apply the pressure.
APPLICATIONS OF HYDRAULIC
LIFTS:
1. • Wheel chair lift.

2. • Industrial hydraulic applications.

• Material handling.
3.
• Truck trailers.
MODERN INNOVATIONS

 Now days the speed of hydraulic lifts has been increased

enormously.
 By using working oils in hydraulic actuators while energy
recovering operation is performed by the hydraulic lift
device, occurrence of pressure pulsation in the working
oil can be prevented, and energy recovering efficiency
is increased.
