Abstract –
A scissor lift or mechanism is a device used to extend or position a platform by mechanical means. The term “scissor” comes from the mechanic which has folding supports in crisscross “X” pattern. The extension or displacement motion is achieved by the application of force to one or more supports, resulting in an elongation of the cross pattern. The force applied to extend the scissors mechanism may by hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical (via a lead screw or rack and pinion system). The need for the use of lift is very paramount and it runs across labs, workshops, factories to lift load, machine etc. expanded and less-efficient, the engineers may run into one or more problems when in various use. The name scissors lift originated from the ability of the device to open (expand) and close (contract) just like a scissors. Considering the need for this kind of mechanism, estimating as well the cost of expanding energy more that result gotten as well the maintenance etc. it is better to adopt this design concept to the production of the machine. The maximum lift of table is 1380mm and minimum lift of table 800mm. It is has mechanism which is completely mechanical which has lead screw and motor unit for to opening and closing of lift
