Conceptual Design And Prototype Production Of Innovative Hydraulic Walking Power Steering Controlled Scissor Lift Platform

Abstract

Nowadays, more than the workforce is needed to transport heavy tonnage loads. So, movable scissors platforms are used when it is desired to transport loads from one location to another and lift them to a certain level. In this study, for the first time, the concept design and prototype production of the new generation scissor lift platform, which has a hydraulically assisted and automation-managed steering control system that will enable loads up to 6 tons of capacity to be transported and delivered to the appropriate height with precise control, has been carried out within Önder Group Inc. Design Center as a domestic product. Within the scope of the study, an automation-controlled hydraulic steering system was developed, unlike the manual steering control system used in equivalent models. This way, easy driving and control of high-tonnage mobile scissor lifts have been achieved. In addition, with the innovative linear bearing hydraulically driven movable upper table design, the materials placed on the table can be moved left and right precisely without moving the platform, thus providing ease of material assembly and time-saving. Within the scope of the study, static strength calculations were made using finite element analysis of the designed system. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that the stresses occurring in the system under service conditions affect the components homogeneously and that no plastic deformation will occur in the entire system. Thus, the design can be used safely.
