Our Project relates to an Aerial Scissor Lift working on the Lead Screw Mechanism. An Aerial Scissor Lift
is basically an Aerial Work Platform used for the Material Handling as well as Maintenance in Industries, Automobile
Garages, Street Light Repairing etc. It is a lifting mechanism, operated by Hydraulic, Pneumatic as well as by
Mechanical Means. Our Research relates to the accessories that should be included in the Design of an Aerial Scissor
Lift, which will increase its Efficiency, Power, Safety and Ease of Working. This Aerial Scissor Lift consists of Linkages,
arranged into criss-cross pattern, better known as a Pantograph. And the lift operates, because of the movement done by
these linkages. The Accessories included consists of Saddle Plate for reducing thrust on the Lift, A Blocking Mechanism
for holding the Lift in Elevated Position, Multiple Lift Sections for avoiding the issue of Collapsing of Lift, A Controller
Mechanism for the Effective Movement of the Scissor Lift. We have also presented the brief study of Dynamic and Static
Stability, as well as Brief Design Procedure of Scissor Lift.
