Project Background
Cebu Manufacturing Corp., a leading food processing company in the Philippines, required a robust scissor dock lift for their 5,000 sqm manufacturing facility. The lift needed to handle heavy cargo pallets and enable safe vertical transport between the ground-floor loading dock and the mezzanine storage area.
Challenges
- Heavy industrial load: 5-ton capacity requirement for loaded pallets
- Continuous operation: Must handle 200+ lift cycles per day
- Corrosion resistance: Exposure to food processing moisture and cleaning chemicals
- Speed & efficiency: 4-6 m/min travel speed for productivity
Solution
GP LIFT engineered a Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Scissor Dock Lift with industrial-grade specifications:
- Load capacity: 5000kg (5 tons)
- Lifting height: 6 meters
- Platform size: 4000mm × 2500mm
- Hydraulic cylinder: Hard-chrome plated for corrosion resistance
- Scissor arms: Heavy-duty steel profiles with anti-corrosion coating
- Control system: PLC-based with auto-leveling at top position
- Safety: Overload warning alarm, emergency stop, safety locking pins
Custom Features
- Stainless steel platform surface for food-grade environment
- Waterproof hydraulic power unit cabinet (IP65)
- Dual hydraulic cylinders for balanced lifting
- Auto-lubrication system for reduced maintenance
- Custom ramps for pitless installation option
Results
After 6 months of operation:
- Zero downtime incidents
- 30% improvement in loading/unloading efficiency
- Reduced manual labor by 2 workers per shift
- Full compliance with Philippine occupational safety standards
“GP LIFT understood our industrial requirements perfectly. The scissor lift has been a workhorse in our facility — reliable, efficient, and virtually maintenance-free.” — Plant Engineer, Cebu Manufacturing Corp.
