Move 30L

The high quality Move 30L car parking lift, while similar to the Move 30N, differs in that its lifting columns are both placed on one of the two longer platform sides.

This clever arrangement allows the whole area of the Move 30L platform to be used.

Another major advantage of the Move 30L is the way it can be installed into existing buildings without the need of major building works.

At the maximum travel height, the piston assembly, shoulder-guide and lock mechanisms protrude by 1,618 mm.

The shoulder-guide can be hidden if a protrusion-free platform (where the top part does not protrude at all) is required. In this situation, Cloud Parking Solutions can increase the depth of the pit from 215 mm to 1,715 mm.

Detail of the front or rear wheel stop which guarantees that the vehicle is properly positioned, and prevents it from shifting while the platform is moving.

Move 30L’s column is secured to the wall using plates pre-welded to the column and chemical anchors. The photo also shows the lift chain and pulley connection. A guard on the outside of the pulley prevents the chain from leaving its seat.

This angle shows the operation of the stop limit switch, located on the column opposite the deceleration limit switch, and highlights the shorter operating cam.

This series of photos shows the mechanical assembly that hydraulically locks the platform to the floor.

The shoulder then drops down again and the connection block engages so that it rests on the piston itself, protruding from its housing and ensuring overall stability. At this point the hydraulic lift system of the two pistons under the platform reverts to the resting position, preventing the continuous stress the hydraulic circuit would be subjected to if they were to remain constantly pressurised.

This arrangement means there is no movement as the vehicle drives on, which would be the case if the platform were supported only by the pressure of the pistons. This provides greater peace-of-mind for the end user.

The piston that mechanically locks the unit to the floor is further controlled by an “all out, all in” limit switch that analyses the correct position. In case of piston malfunction – when it is not possible to set the platform in safety mode with pulsed operation from the electrical control panel – the limit switch sends the platform to the next floor so that it can then be secured. The shoulder of the platform passes beyond the point where the piston is mechanically blocked to the floor, thus allowing it to protrude.

The head pinion on the torsion bar has a notched ring (one on each end) that is engaged and runs along the rack (one per column). The same torsion bar has position adjustable supports so that it is perfectly coupled to the racks.
