Pallet Lifting Device Modification Idea-Replace Motor with Cylinders
(OP)
Thanks for taking my post,
I have a pallet lifting device ,and it has an electrical motor running it at the moment, it lifts up
about 12 in. , we have alot of problems with the brake,and
stopping at the right position. I would like to replace
the motor with air cylinders. My co-workers think that we
would have a problem with 1 cylinder being ahead of the
others and it raising unevenly. We would have 4 cylinders
on this. I think that if we went with the same length of hose for each cylinder, that would help. Would you have any ideas or devices that would help.
Thanks in Advance

For the price of available lifts, it would be hard to design one, spec and purchase components, then assemble it and eliminate the years of practical experience that is built into the purchased units. Maybe your situation doesn't allow it, but would a new unit fit?
