In China, the lack of popularity of lifting columns means that many ordinary users and integrators are ill – informed about these products, often relying on equipment vendors’ recommendations. This has led to a situation where users frequently focus only on basic functions and end up overpaying for products that may not offer optimal performance.
GeMinG is stepping in to change this. The company has provided a comprehensive guide on how to choose a fully automatic electric lifting column. When making a selection, several key factors need to be considered.
Firstly, the channel width is crucial as it determines the number of devices required. The center distance of cylinders typically should not exceed 1.5 meters, and the gap width can be adjusted according to the actual needs of different usage scenarios. Traffic volume, both annual/monthly total and average daily, is another important parameter that is often overlooked. The frequency of use, especially during peak vehicle periods, also matters.
Lifting speed is a parameter that users usually pay attention to, but other equally important aspects include the safety level of the usage location. The blocking effect varies greatly between civilian and professional – grade anti – terrorism lifting columns. Group management requirements, such as separating lanes, affect the configuration of the control system.
Rainfall and drainage conditions at the installation site are also vital. If the area has heavy rainfall, poor drainage, or a low terrain, the equipment’s water – resistance and structure need to be carefully evaluated to avoid potential hazards. The location of the installation site is another consideration; if it’s remote, the ease of maintenance and availability of parts should be factored in.
Finally, the protection function of the lifting column, which can be achieved through external infrared or vehicle monitors, is an essential feature to look for. GeMinG’s guidance aims to help users make more informed decisions and choose lifting columns that best suit their needs.
