If you’ve ever stood in a workshop watching a technician struggle to get a heavy-duty truck level on a set of hydraulic mobile column lifts, you’ll know the frustration that comes with this old-school equipment.
With hydraulic lifts, you’re plagued with slow adjustments, inconsistent lift speeds, and the ever-present hum of fluid pressure fighting gravity. However, where safety and precision matter, you need something better to get the job done. That’s why so many professionals are now turning to electro-mechanical mobile column lifts as a more reliable and efficient alternative.
In the end, the choice between hydraulic and electromechanical systems can help or hurt your operation’s workflow, safety, and long-term maintenance costs.
What is the Difference Between Hydraulic And Electromechanical Lifts?
Traditional hydraulic lifts operate by pushing fluid through a sealed system to create movement. While this technology has been around for decades, it comes with some serious drawbacks.
Fluid leaks, temperature sensitivity, and the need for frequent servicing are just a few of the things that can create problems in your workshop. Worse still is that, over time, the performance of the hydraulic system tends to degrade, resulting in inconsistent lifting behaviour and slower operations.
Electromechanical systems, on the other hand, are much more reliable. Maha’s Extreme Duty 7.5 mobile column lifts, for example, operate on high-efficiency ball screws and worm gear motors for a smooth and consistent lift every time. With no hydraulic fluid to worry about, there’s less mess, fewer maintenance issues, and a much lower risk of failure.
Why are Electromechanical Lifts Safer And More Efficient?
One of the most notable advantages of electromechanical mobile column lifts is their superior precision. The spindle drive allows for fine-tuned height positioning without the risk of overshooting, which is a common problem with hydraulic systems.
Another upside is that the mechanical rigidity of each lifting column enhances safety, allowing the lift to maintain structural integrity under even the most extreme conditions.
Additionally, because each of the Extreme Duty 7.5 mobile column lifts is equipped with a built-in hydraulic dolly, you get the benefit of mobility without having to compromise on stability.
What’s more is that Maha offers a five-year warranty on the entire spindle drive. This means that, as a user, you get that extra peace of mind that the equipment will last.
