An electric lifting device is an apparatus powered by electricity that can raise, lower, and adjust the height of objects such as tables, chairs, and beds.
Widely used across various sectors, including factories, offices, and hospitals, these devices enable adjustment of working heights to suit user requirements. They are recognized for their health benefits, offering postural adaptability to match individual heights and preferences.
The device operates easily with a simple switch and is designed for safety, featuring an automatic stop function if an obstacle is detected by its sensors.
Electric lifting devices find diverse applications in hospitals, factories, and offices.
In healthcare settings, they are utilized for patient examination chairs, tables, stretchers, nursing beds, and wheelchairs.
In industrial and office environments, they enhance the ergonomics of desks, worktables, and chairs, helping alleviate worker fatigue through adjustable heights. Additionally, they are employed in electric cylinders used on ships.
These devices range from multi-lifts (e.g., industrial work platforms) and slim, low-noise lifts, to highly rigid models designed for heavy loads.
There are also synchronized types that enable coordinated lifting and lowering, suitable for use with multiple units. Features include safety measures like automatic power shutdown in case of sensor-detected failures during operation, and automatic shutdown at end points. Below are details on various types and their features.
