A hydraulic scissor lift is a mechanical device used for various applications for lifting of the loads to a height or level. A lift table is defined as a scissor lift used to stack, raise or lower, convey and/or transfer material between two or more elevations. The main objective of the devices used for lifting purposes is to make the table adjustable to a desired height. A scissor lift provides most economic dependable & versatile methods of lifting loads; it has few moving parts which may only require lubrication. This lift table raises load smoothly to any desired height. The scissor lift can be used in combination with any of applications such as pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, etc. Lift tables may incorporate rotating platforms (manual or powered); tilt platforms, etc, as a part of the design. Scissor lift design is used because of its ergonomics as compared to other heavy lifting devices available in the market. The frame is very sturdy & strong enough with increase in structural integrity. A multiple height scissor lift is made up of two or more leg sets. As per the discussion with the concern person of DS Engineering, Pune, It is found that they are facing some problems regarding hydraulic scissor lift like job to be lifted are heavier which causes more deformations in hydraulic lift frame checking deformations & stresses induced in it is a major objective of this project. It is also found that weight of the present lift is high weight optimization is also prime objective of this project. As loading & unloading is repeated there may be chances of fatigue failure, to check the life of lift. Design & Analysis of the Hydraulic lift that should with stand maximum load without failure in working conditions. To check vibration of hydraulic lift during working time by modal analysis.

Keywords- Keywords: Analysis, Fatigue Analysis, Hydraulic Lift, Weight Optimization, etc.
