Product Definition and Uses

Lift table bellows covers are safety components specifically designed for hydraulic lifting table, scissor lift mechanisms, and various industrial lifting equipment. Their main function is to prevent personnel from accidentally entering the scissor lift mechanism during operation, thus avoiding injuries or industrial accidents. They also prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the lifting mechanism, thereby protecting the equipment and extending its service life.

These dust covers not only provide equipment protection but also play a crucial role as **industrial safety guards**. They are widely used in machine tools, hydraulic lifting platforms, hydraulic lifting platform carts, truck lifting platforms, and various other industrial lifting equipment. Commonly used materials comply with EU RoHS regulations.

In what situations is it appropriate to use a Lift table bellows cover?

In practical industrial and equipment safety applications, lift table bellows covers are particularly suitable for the following conditions:

• Equipment uses a scissor lift or hydraulic lift structure

• Operators may approach or pass through the vicinity of the lifting equipment

• The risk of pinching or accidental entry into the structure needs to be reduced

• The lifting mechanism needs to prevent dust, foreign objects, or oil from entering

• The equipment needs to operate at high frequency and for extended periods. Compared to unprotected lifting structures, dust covers for lifting platforms can simultaneously improve personnel safety and equipment durability.

Structural and Material Design Specifications

Lift table bellows covers can be fully customized according to lifting stroke, structural form, and usage environment. Common components include:

• Dust cover body: Rubber/plastic leather or coated fabric

• Front and rear mounting flanges: Metal sheet (steel or stainless steel)

• Internal structure and accessories (optional):

o Rollers (reduce lifting resistance and improve smooth operation)

o Steel scissor clamps (support long-stroke lifting structures)

o Light-blocking or shielding materials (improve safety visibility)

o Stroke limiting structure (prevents excessive stretching)

The actual materials and configuration will be evaluated based on the following conditions:

• Hydraulic and industrial environments: Oil-resistant and waterproof materials

• Outdoor or high-light environments: UV-resistant and weather-resistant design

• High-frequency lifting use: High fatigue-resistant and wear-resistant materials

• Safety regulations: Warning colors or shielding designs can be added as needed.

Main advantages of lift table bellows covers

• Effectively prevents personnel from accidentally entering the scissor lift structure, reducing the risk of industrial accidents.

• Can be selected based on materials to achieve dustproof, waterproof, oil-proof, and acid/alkali-resistant protection.

• Specific materials can meet antistatic, UV-resistant, high-temperature resistant, or IP rating requirements.

• Protects the lifting structure, reducing wear and malfunctions caused by foreign objects entering.

• Supports complete customized design to meet different lifting height, stroke, and service life requirements.

Customized design and manufacturing capabilities

Lift table bellows covers can be fully customized to meet specific customer equipment requirements, including:

• Lifting table dimensions and installation method

• Compressed length and maximum lifting stroke

• Operating environment conditions (hydraulic, dust, indoor/outdoor)

• Expected service life and lifting frequency

• Safety and regulatory requirements (e.g., RoHS)

During the design phase, a comprehensive evaluation of the lifting structure type, usage frequency, and safety risks is conducted to assist customers in selecting the most suitable materials and structural configurations to ensure effective protection and long-term reliability.

Application Scope

Common applications of lift table bellows covers include:

• Hydraulic lifting platforms

• Hydraulic lifting platform trolleys

• Automotive lifting platforms

• Industrial lifting trolleys

• Machine tools and EDM equipment

• Lifting structures of electronic instruments and semiconductor equipment

Properly designed lift table bellows cover can effectively improve operational safety and prevent foreign objects from entering the lifting structure and affecting equipment functionality and lifespan.

FAQ | Common Issues Regarding Lift Table Bellows Covers

Q1: Why must dust covers be installed on lifting platforms?

A: The main purpose of installing lift table bellows cover is to prevent personnel from accidentally entering the scissor lift structure, reducing the risk of workplace accidents such as pinching injuries, and protecting the lifting mechanism. This is especially important in high-frequency use or high-traffic areas.

Q2: Are lift table bellows covers primarily for safety or equipment protection?

A: Dust covers for lifting platforms serve both safety and equipment protection functions, but in most applications, safety is the top priority.

Q3: Can the size and stroke of lift table bellows covers be customized?

A: Yes, lift table bellows covers can be completely customized according to lifting height, compression dimensions, and equipment structure.

Q4: Are lift table bellows covers suitable for outdoor equipment?

A: Yes, for outdoor use, materials with UV resistance, weather resistance, and waterproof properties can be selected.

Q5: What factors affect the service life of dust covers for lifting platforms? A: Service life is mainly affected by lifting frequency, stroke length, operating environment (oil, water, dust) and material selection. Proper material selection and structural design can effectively extend the actual service life.
