Here we explain how an electric telescopic lifting column works. The function of an electric lifting column is to serve people. Electric lifting columns lift heavy loads to other levels at the workplace. This protects people's backs and the spine and joints of the body are not overloaded. Overloading over a longer period of time damages the spine, joints, muscles and tendons. It is therefore advisable to always get support from an electric or hydraulic lifting column or scissor lift for heavy loads.
How does an electric telescopic lifting column work
The function of an electric telescopic lifting column is as follows: Two differently sized profiles inserted into each other are pushed apart by an internal electric geared motor and a spindle attached to the motor. This creates the lifting movement. The profiles have fixing plates on the bottom and top sides. The load level is attached to the top side. The base plate is attached to the standing surface. Sliding blocks between the profiles keep them at a distance so that they can move up and down without rubbing against each other. A telescopic lifting column is operated by remote control, with a wired handset or via a control app (Linak). The lifting column can also be operated remotely via room control. The lifting column then requires a control unit, which is connected to the socket using a mains cable. The lifting column is connected to the control unit via a motorised cable and can then be used.
