Oktagon - Model ATLAS -Car Lifts

Furthermore, due to the many joints in their complicated steel structure there are high costs for maintenance and spare parts. The car lifts of fork-type are usually manufactured with indirect load lifting. Indirect load lifting usually means lifting the load not directly by one or two hydraulic cylinders, but through wire ropes or chains. I n the event these wire ropes or chains break, the load is stopped by strong grabs.

In addition, the wire ropes and the chains must be regularly maintained and replaced when worn out.

The car lifts of Atlas-type is the latest invention in the lift technology with direct load suspension, without ropes, chains or articulated steel levers. Atlas car lifts have very small capacity properties due to the platformr`s central support throughout its entire length. Their simple construction guarantees long-term safe operation without any problems with a minimum of service requirements. There is also the option, to incorporate in an Atlas-lift a submergible fence and by appropriate modification a laterally sliding orturning car platform
