Hydraulic Lifts Experts in Kenya: Industrial, Commercial and Home Elevators.

What is a hydraulic lift?

Hydraulic elevators are like the heavy-duty workhorses of the elevator world, designed to handle lots of people going up and down regularly without breaking a sweat. Not only do they provide a super smooth and quiet ride, but they’re also known for being tough cookies, able to handle heavier loads and serve buildings with more floors. In Kenya, if you’re looking for a reliable lift that can efficiently serve up to 6 floors, StarCraft Technologies Limited has got you covered with their top-notch hydraulic lifts. However, if you’re aiming higher than 6 floors, they might recommend checking out traction lifts. So, how do these hydraulic lifts do their magic?  Well, they’ve been around for a while, especially in buildings from the latter part of the 20th century. The trick lies in an electric pump that pushes oil through a system to lift the elevator. Picture a piston in a cylinder at the base of the elevator doing the heavy lifting – quite literally. When you press the call button from a higher floor, the hydraulic fluid gets pumped into the cylinder, making the elevator go up. Now, going down is just as smooth. The controller opens a valve, slowly releasing the pressure in the hydraulic tank after a call from a lower floor. It’s like a controlled descent using gravity, which is not just cool but also makes them pretty power-efficient. And here’s a nifty feature – if the power decides to take a break, these elevators won’t. Thanks to a battery backup, they can gracefully lower the elevator during a power outage, all on their own. Talk about being prepared for anything! Hydraulic elevators can serve up to 6 stops or 50′ of travel and are available in a wide variety of cab styles with different configurations. There are several things to keep in mind when planning for this type of elevator:

• Working mechanism and major components of an hydraulic lift
• The elevator and installation
• Equipment layout, design, and machine room
• Cab style and finish details
• Hoistway construction
• Landing doors and types
• Service and maintenance of your elevator

Working mechanism and major components of an hydraulic lift

Hydraulic lifts operate on the principle of Pascal’s law, which states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure is transmitted equally in all directions. This allows hydraulic lifts to lift heavy loads with relatively small amounts of force. The major components of a hydraulic lift and their working mechanism include:

1. Hydraulic Pump: The hydraulic pump is the primary component that generates pressure by forcing hydraulic fluid into the system. It may be powered by an electric motor or an internal combustion engine. The pump creates a flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid, which is essential for the lift’s operation.
2. Fluid Reservoir: The fluid reservoir stores hydraulic fluid, which is necessary for the operation of the hydraulic system. It ensures that an adequate supply of fluid is available to the pump and other components of the hydraulic lift.
3. Hydraulic Fluid: Hydraulic fluid is a specially formulated liquid that is used to transmit power within the hydraulic system. It is non-compressible and serves as a medium for transferring force from one component to another. Hydraulic fluid is selected based on its viscosity, temperature range, and compatibility with system components.
4. Hydraulic Cylinders: Hydraulic cylinders are the actuators responsible for lifting or lowering the load. They consist of a cylinder barrel, piston, and rod. When pressurized hydraulic fluid is directed into the cylinder, it pushes against the piston, causing it to move and exert force on the load. The size and stroke length of the cylinder determine the lifting capacity and travel distance of the hydraulic lift.
5. Control Valves: Control valves regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid within the system. They direct the fluid to the hydraulic cylinders to initiate lifting or lowering movements. Control valves may be manually operated or automated, depending on the design of the hydraulic lift.
6. Check Valves: Check valves prevent the backflow of hydraulic fluid and maintain pressure within the system. They ensure that the load remains lifted even when the hydraulic pump is turned off or when the lift is in a stationary position.
7. Pressure Relief Valve: The pressure relief valve is a safety device designed to prevent overloading and excessive pressure buildup within the hydraulic system. It automatically opens when the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold, allowing excess fluid to escape and relieving pressure on the system components.
8. Safety Features: Hydraulic lifts are equipped with various safety features to protect against accidents and ensure the safety of users and property. These may include emergency stop buttons, safety rails, interlocks, and overload protection devices.

The working mechanism of a hydraulic lift involves the following steps:

• The hydraulic pump pressurizes hydraulic fluid and sends it through the hydraulic system.
• The control valves direct the pressurized fluid to the hydraulic cylinders.
• The hydraulic cylinders extend or retract, depending on the direction of fluid flow, thereby lifting or lowering the load.
• The pressure relief valve maintains safe operating pressure within the system and prevents overloading.
• Safety features ensure the safe operation of the hydraulic lift and protect against potential hazards.

Overall, the hydraulic lift’s efficient and reliable operation relies on the coordinated functioning of its major components within the hydraulic system.

The Elevator and Installation

The most popular type of hydraulic home elevator is called a 1:2 roped hydraulic elevator. This means that for every inch the piston moves, the cab moves two inches. This ratio allows for a longer travel range and a shorter cylinder assembly. It’s great for homes with standard 8-foot ceilings because it fits well. Ideally, installers prefer a floor-to-ceiling height of 9 feet 6 inches for the top level, but sometimes, there isn’t enough space for that. Another important thing to notice is the wide distance between the guide rails (DBG). This is crucial for a smooth and stable ride between floors. The guide rails are like the foundation of the elevator system. A wider space reduces side-to-side movement. In the picture, you can see that the rails on the left and right sides are almost touching the shaftway walls. Just like any other product, home elevators are made by different companies with varying levels of quality and design. When choosing a hydraulic elevator, it’s important to look for high-quality components and materials to ensure safety and reliability.

Specs of a typical hydraulic lift (info is based on a GLF MRL model)

Hydraulic elevators are some of the safest in the industry. The systems have several features built-in for fail-safe operation. One of the best features of hydraulic systems is the elevators are engineered and designed specifically for each individual installation. Because of this, they will only travel to the maximum total floor-to-floor distance plus 2″-3″ of runby or overtravel (extra buffer space), meaning they can never move more than a few inches past the top landing. The elevators will also include a flow control switch to prevent overspeed in the down direction and a pump-run timer to monitor the travel time between landings. The rated speed for an in-home hydraulic elevator is 40 fpm, traveling 20 feet will take approximately 30 seconds. The cabs are supported with two 3/8” diameter steel cables rated for thousands of pounds. The cables are connected to an instantaneous braking system that is also continuously monitored by a PLC-based controller. Hydraulic elevator control valve and tank enclosed with submersible pump monitoring fluid pressure. The manual lowering valve and gate valve are easily accessible for service.

Keeping an eye out for the following issues can prevent problems occurring to your generator which may bring huge costs and major breakdowns down the road.

• You have not Run Your Generator in a Long Time

It’s important that you test run your generator every six months or so just to ensure that everything is working properly. An even better idea is scheduling routine maintenance so experienced electrical contractors can keep it in great running condition. If you haven’t run your generator in a long time, you may be in for a surprise when the power goes out.

• Your Generator has Trouble Supplying Power

You should have a general idea of how much power your generator is able to supply. If you’re running yours and you get the sense that there’s low power flow for some reason, repairs may be in order. Call in a professional and have them take a look.

• Your Generator Turning On and Off

This may seem obvious, but if the issue does not occur too frequently, many people will just ignore it and go about their business. However, this could be a sign of greater trouble to come. Don’t leave it until then to get serious about the issue, contact us about our generator repair services as soon as possible.

• Your Generator Has Leaks

If your generator is leaking anything at all, that’s not a good sign. As parts age, liquids such as coolant, oil, and fuel may start finding their way out, which will inevitably lead to a breakdown of some kind. When you notice any puddles forming around your generator, give us a call.

• Your generator produces Strange Sounds and / or Smells

If you test run your generator regularly as you should, you will have become familiar with the sounds it makes and any smells it might produce. If you hear or smell anything out of the ordinary, it may be a sign that something is wrong internally that is going to need to be looked at. Strange smells may indicate a potentially dangerous gas leak. Call a repair service as soon as possible.
