3-Ton E-Type Lift: High-Efficiency Lifting and Transfer Equipment for Heavy Material Production Line Connection

   The 3-ton E-type lift is a hydraulic lifting device specially designed for vertical lifting and workstation connection of heavy materials. Named for its E-shaped hollow tabletop structure, it is mainly suitable for handling plates, bins, pallets and other materials within 3 tons. It is widely used in production line height connection scenarios in industries such as panel furniture and warehousing logistics. Especially, it is ideal for matching with heavy-duty transfer equipment like gantry loading and unloading machines to build a three-dimensional material conveying link of "horizontal transfer + vertical lifting".

  The structure of the 3-ton E-type lift is built around three core requirements: heavy-load stability, construction-free adaptability, and intelligent linkage. All components work together to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the equipment, which is specifically divided into six core modules:

1. E-Shaped Bearing Tabletop

  The tabletop is processed with 6mm thick carbon steel plates, with a conventional overall size of 2000mm×1450mm. A hollow channel is reserved in the middle, which is suitable for the entry and exit of forks of manual pallet trucks and forklifts, enabling rapid loading and unloading of materials without additional transfer tools. The edge of the tabletop is treated with anti-skid and anti-falling measures to prevent materials from shifting and sliding during lifting. Meanwhile, the surface is powder-coated for rust prevention, adapting to humid working conditions in workshops.

2. Hydraulic Drive System

  Equipped with 6 sets of hydraulic cylinders (some models adopt a combination of 3 large and 3 small cylinders), matched with a 3kW pump station from Haojiesi in Foshan, Guangdong or a 2.2kW drive motor, the system can reach a maximum pressure of 15MPa, ensuring stable lifting under 3-ton heavy load. It adopts iron oil pipes for hydraulic oil transmission, which are resistant to high pressure and wear. In addition, an external pressure relief valve is installed to precisely control the descending speed and achieve overload protection, preventing equipment damage due to overloading.

3. Scissor Support Frame

  The support arms are made of 14mm thick high-strength steel plates, and the frame is welded with 80×5mm angle steel, featuring strong overall rigidity that can resist stress deformation caused by high-frequency lifting. The scissor structure, combined with solid main shafts (some models are equipped with 60 thickened solid main shafts) and dynamic bearings, ensures smooth lifting without jamming. The minimum height can be lowered to 150mm and the maximum height can be raised to 950-980mm, meeting the height connection requirements of different workstations.

4. Intelligent Control System

  Adopting Delixi complete electric control, it supports three operation modes: manual, automatic and foot pedal. The manual mode allows fine adjustment of height as needed; the foot pedal mode frees hands for workstation coordination; the automatic mode is equipped with an infrared induction device, which can realize intelligent position compensation of "automatically rising by one plate thickness when a plate is taken away and automatically descending by one plate thickness when a plate is placed", without manual intervention for height adjustment.

5. Auxiliary Protection Components

  Equipped with an electric plate anti-warping device to prevent the power shaft from warping under heavy load. Meanwhile, it is provided with an emergency stop button and an overload alarm module. Some models are additionally installed with an electric toe guard to avoid pinching operators during lifting, complying with industrial safety specifications.

6. Base and Installation Structure

  The whole machine adopts a pit-free design, and the anti-skid feet at the bottom can fine-tune the level, eliminating the need for destructive construction on the workshop floor. With a self-weight of about 530kg, it can be directly placed on a flat ground for use, adapting to the rapid transformation of existing production lines.

1. Core Advantages of the Equipment

• Construction-free Adaptability: No pit embedding is needed, and it can be used immediately after placement, greatly reducing the time and cost of production line transformation, especially suitable for production line upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises.
• Heavy-load Efficiency: The 3-ton rated load can transfer whole stacks of plates at one time, which is 4-6 times more efficient than traditional manual batch handling, and the lifting is stable without material damage.
• Intelligent Linkage:The infrared induction automatic position compensation function can seamlessly connect with the blanking workstation of the gantry loading and unloading machine, realizing continuous operation of "gantry blanking - lift automatic leveling - subsequent process loading", reducing workstation waiting time.
• Multi-tool Compatibility: The E-shaped tabletop is suitable for various transfer equipment such as manual pallet trucks, forklifts and roller lines, and can be flexibly embedded into different types of production links.
  

2. Production Line Coordination with Gantry Loading and Unloading Machines

  In the panel furniture automated production line, the 3-ton E-type lift often serves as the material storage and height connection node of the gantry loading and unloading machine:

• The gantry loading and unloading machine transfers the cut plates to the tabletop of the E-type lift;
• The lift automatically adjusts to the suitable height according to the height of the edge banding machine workstation;
• The flexible pusher of the edge banding machine directly grabs plates from the lift tabletop for feeding, without manual transfer and height calibration throughout the process, realizing seamless connection between the cutting and edge banding processes, and the single-shift production capacity can be increased by more than 20%.
