Process and Procedure of Refurbishing Scissor Lifts
In the world of aerial work platforms, scissor lifts are essential equipment for safely lifting personnel and materials to higher elevations. Over time, however, the heavy usage and environmental factors take a toll on these machines. To extend their service life and restore them to peak performance, our team specializes in refurbishing scissor lifts, bringing them back to like-new condition.
Here’s an inside look at our thorough process:
1. Initial Inspection and Assessment
Before any work begins, we start with a complete inspection of the scissor lift. This step is crucial to identify the areas that need attention—whether it’s surface wear, mechanical components, or electrical systems. We create a detailed report that outlines the scope of refurbishing work needed.
2. Removal of Old Decals
All old decals and labels, many of which may have become faded or worn, are carefully removed. Safety and operational labels are a critical part of any lift, so this step ensures that new, clear, and compliant decals can be applied later on.
3. Sanding and Surface Preparation
Once we’ve documented the lift’s condition, we begin the refurbishing process by sanding down the lift. This step is important to remove rust, chipped paint, and any other imperfections. A clean and smooth surface ensures that the next stages of the refurbishing process—such as painting and applying decals—adhere properly and last longer.
4. Mechanical Inspection & Repair
During this step, all mechanical components of the scissor lift are thoroughly inspected. Any worn, damaged, or faulty parts are either repaired or replaced to ensure optimal performance. This includes checking the lift’s drive system, hydraulic components, steering mechanisms, and other key mechanical systems. The goal is to restore the lift to a like-new working condition, ensuring safety and reliability for its next use.
5. Priming and Painting
Next, the lift is primed to protect it from rust and corrosion. Priming also enhances the adhesion of the paint. After the primer is applied, we use high-quality industrial paint to give the scissor lift a fresh, durable finish. This step not only improves aesthetics but also extends the longevity of the machine by adding a layer of protection.
6. Installing New Decals
After the paint has dried, we install new decals. These include operational instructions, safety labels, and any company-specific branding. Clear and accurate labeling is essential for both safety compliance and ensuring operators know how to use the equipment properly.
7. New Tires and Batteries
To further enhance the performance and reliability of the refurbished scissor lift, we replace the tires and batteries. New tires ensure the lift moves smoothly and safely across various job sites, while fresh batteries provide the necessary power to operate the lift efficiently.
8. Final Inspection and Testing
Before we consider the refurbishing process complete, we conduct a final round of inspections and testing. We check everything from the hydraulic system to the lift’s mobility and safety features to ensure it operates like new. Once the lift passes all tests, it’s ready for service again.
