A Study of Scissor Lifts Using Parameter Design

Scissor lifts are applied for transporting or lifting various objects. Hydraulic cylinders are used to raise or lower platforms which have many ways to arrange. This study aims to determine appropriate dimensions in design 1X hydraulic scissor lifts. Using symbolic variables to control the dimensions, positions of the cylinder are calculated to ensure the effectiveness of working space and forces in the cylinders. Results obtained from the calculations indicate the practice of numerical methods and can be used to determine optimal dimensions for design 1X scissor lifts.
