HOYNOR has used screwjacks to raise and lower forms on its new drawbar trailer car transporter. the upper plat Danfoss hydraulic motors drive the screwjacks located in the lift columns providing a lift capacity of up to four tonne. Deck levels can be adjusted to suit the size of vehicle carried up to a maximum of 2.3m (7ft 61n) and there are no mechanical locks to be engaged.
Limit switches, fitted top and bottom, automatically release the hydraulic pressure to the screwjack motors before the jacks reach the end of their travel so preventing distortion of the end bearing housings.
One centrally mounted hydraulic motor drives each pair of screwjacks so that right and left lift and lower in unison.
