ABSTRACT:
A scissors-type work platform lift machine includes a mobile chassis having rear stationary wheels and front steerable wheels, a scissors lift mechanism mounted at a lower end on the chassis, a work platform mounted on an upper end of the lift mechanism, and an electro-mechanical actuation arrangement for operating the lift mechanism between retracted and expanded conditions so as to move the work platform between lowered and raised positions. The electro-mechanical actuation arrangement is mounted to and extends between the mobile chassis and the lower end of the lift mechanism and has a ballscrew shaft operable to rotate in a first angular direction and cause movement of the lift mechanism vertically toward the retracted condition and thereby movement of the work platform toward the lowered position and to rotate in a second angular direction opposite to the first angular direction and cause movement of the lift mechanism vertically toward the expanded condition and thereby movement of the work platform toward the raised position. The actuation arrangement also has an upper joint pivotally and threadably coupling an upper portion of the ballscrew shaft to the lower end of the lift mechanism and a lower joint coupling a lower portion of the ballscrew shaft to the chassis for undergoing limited universal pivotal movement relative thereto. The actuation arrangement further includes an electric motor drivingly coupled to the lower portion of the ballscrew shaft below the lower joint.
