There is an article on hydraulic lifts at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> I know this is not what you are looking for but it is interesting.

Contact Handling Specialty, Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. They build scissors lifts and will perform special analysis if needed. Most manufacturers of these lifts need to make many many copies of a single design to break even so they are not likely to do specific design work - once they get it right they "stack 'em deep and sell 'em cheap!" <br>
<br>
The basic sizing requirements of these lifts are not too hard to analyze - it just takes time. Friction can significantly complicate analysis, especially as multiple stages are used.
