✅ Facade lift ZLP-630 (China): construction cradles, characteristics

Chinese-made devices have become widespread not only in the field of household appliances, but also in a number of industrial areas. An example of functional and quite high-quality samples is the ZLP series of construction hoists, produced in China by several companies. Let's consider the 630 model lift, which is average in its technical and operational parameters, suitable for most repairs and related work.

Device

The design of the construction cradle of facade lifts consists of a frame and a console. The engine and control system are installed on the frame. The device is used in construction and repairs inside and outside buildings, for lifting loads.

Scope of application of the facade lift:

wall covering;
painting walls;
external window decoration;
building maintenance;
lifting construction formwork;
cleaning of technological units;
work in an elevator shaft;
welding work in shipping;
painting of bridges, dams, tanks.

The consoles are made as a retractable structure, which is convenient to use. The offset can be adjusted, which allows you to maintain the desired distance between the cradle and the wall or work with inclined walls. Horizontal installation of the platform is carried out by a catching mechanism, which blocks the movement of the platform if the cable breaks. The frame has a folding design, allowing you to adjust the length of the platform.

By increasing the width of the cradle, you can increase the number of workers and the volume of building materials for one transportation.

The façade lift kit includes:

frame;
gearbox;
console;
electrical adjustment system;
manual stackers made of aluminum;
catchers;
steel rope.

The cradle consists of a frame to which catchers, a gearbox, and a control system are attached. The console is connected to the frame using a cable. The platform is made of steel pipes connected by bolts. The length of the pipe sections is from 2 to 2.5 m. The coating of the base of the frame has anti-slip properties.

Under the frame there are wheels for moving on the ground. The front railing is 970mm high and the rear railing is 1.12m high. This allows you to work with vertical walls and reduces the risk of tipping over the railing. The gearbox system includes an electric motor and a speed limiter.

The dual speed reduction system ensures uniform movement of both edges of the platform. The lifting mechanism operates and switches various modes. The catcher device uses centrifugal force and stops the platform if the descent speed exceeds 22 m/min. Automatic locking is triggered in an emergency. Control is carried out using the remote control. The design has a spare brake. A locking system allows descent in the event of a power failure.

The cable has a thickness of 8.3 mm. This allows you to work on the platform at a height of up to 100 m. To ensure stability, there are several counterweights with a total weight of 900 kg. To start the lift, the lower end of the cable is installed in the winch. The electrical control system must be connected to the network. By pressing the movement button, the platform begins to rise. Smooth movement is guaranteed by electromagnetic brakes.

Specifications

The construction hoist has a universal design and is used in various enterprises. If you need to provide a larger load capacity and width of the working platform, use the ZLP 800 lift. The delivery set includes 3 sections of the platform, each 2 m. There is one console, 2 catchers, 2 winches, a remote control, 4 ropes, a cable.

Technical parameters of the ZLP-630 lift:

Maximum load capacity - 630 kg.
Lifting speed - 9.6 m/min.
Electric motor power - 2 kW.
Cable length - 150 m.
The maximum lifting height is 200 m.
Console weight - 310 kg.
Platform weight - 120 kg.

The design has high operational reliability of all systems, which reduces the risk of accidents.

Design features

The facade lift is divided into 2 main types: mast and cantilever. Both of them can ensure the movement of certain masses in both planes - vertical and horizontal. The difference between a mast facade lift is that the platform on it is permanently installed on a rigid frame made of masts assembled from a steel profile. Cantilever-type facade lifts are attached directly to the roof or balcony gallery of a building and operate using flexible steel cables. Each such lift consists of 4 components:

Frame structures. These are consoles that attach the lift to the roof, having a system of cast iron counterweights.
Electrical equipment. This is an electric motor that moves the platform, and a remote control.
A lift, usually in the form of a winch with a steel cable wound around it.
A safety system consisting of additional cables with brake devices attached to them.

Design of a mast façade lift.

The advantage of a mast façade lift is its power and lifting capacity, which allows you to move significantly larger masses of cargo. But the façade cantilever lift is more mobile and has a collapsible design. That's why they are used in different areas. The first ones are used most often for moving goods in warehouses. The latter are actively used to move workers, tools and consumables along the facades of buildings. Consoles have the advantage that the facade lifts equipped with them ensure that the platform does not move close to the wall, but at some distance from it. This allows you to work around wall overhangs or moldings. It can be either single-hung, moved on 1 console, or double-hung, which is moved by 2. A console lift cannot have more than 2.

Where to find professionals?

Professionals are nearby! The VIRAMAX group of companies has been successfully and safely installing load-lifting equipment for more than 15 years: facade cradles, mast cargo-passenger lifts, facade platforms and BMU systems for continuous maintenance of facades.

VIRAMAX has all the permits necessary for installation and operation of lifting equipment. It has its own professional technical service, capable of solving any technical issue quickly and efficiently.

Device

The design of the cradle is made in a detachable version, which simplifies transportation to the work site. Most elements of the mechanism have a wide range of technical characteristics, which increases the versatility of the lift.

Equipment

The façade lift circuit includes a frame, console, gearbox, catchers, electrical control system and metal cable. The cradle itself consists of a frame that acts as a platform, to which a gearbox, catcher and control system are attached. The console is connected to the platform by a cable.

The frame is made of steel pipes fastened together with bolts and nuts. The length of the pipe sections for assembling the frame is 2 and 2.5 m. The base of the platform has an anti-slip coating, and at the bottom of the frame there are wheels for moving on the ground.

The height of the front fence (working balustrade) reaches 970 mm, and the rear wall - 1.12 m. This increases the convenience of working with vertical surfaces and eliminates the danger of tipping over the rear balustrade.

The gearbox for the cradle is equipped with an electric motor and a speed limiter, and the implemented dual speed reduction system ensures uniform movement of both edges of the cradle. The descent and ascent mechanism is responsible for actuating and switching modes.

The design of the catcher is based on the use of centrifugal force and ensures that the cradle stops when the threshold speed of descent is exceeded (22 m/min). Automatic activation reliably stops the lift in an emergency.

The electric control system is equipped with an additional control panel (up/down) and also has a spare brake. The blocking circuit allows you to descend during a power outage in a “soft” mode.

The included cable with a thickness of up to 8.3 mm ensures operation with a maximum load capacity at heights of up to 100 m. To ensure stationarity during ascent and descent cycles, the design includes a set of counterweights with a total mass of 900 kg (25 plates in total).

Principle of operation

To put the lift into operation, the lower end of the cable (soldered and turned) is inserted into the lifting mechanism (winch). The electrical control system must be connected to the mains supply. After pressing the movement button, the platform is put into operation.

Lift registration

The procedure and rules for registration are regulated by four regulatory documents:

Federal Law of June 21, 1997 No. 116-FZ “On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities”[14];
Rules for registering facilities in the State Register of Hazardous Industrial Facilities[15];
FNP PS;
Administrative regulations of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision for the provision of state services for registration of hazardous production facilities in the State Register of Hazardous Production Facilities[16].

To register a lift as a technical device in the HPF Register, you must collect the following documents:

1. Statement. We fill out the form, which is given in Appendix No. 1 to Administrative Regulation No. 140.

2. Information characterizing each OPO. We fill in two copies of the form given in Appendix No. 2 to Administrative Regulation No. 140.

3. Copies of documents confirming the existence of a hazardous facility on the right of ownership or other legal basis, as well as the real estate within which it is located, if the rights to them are not registered in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (certificate of ownership, lease agreement).

4. Justification of the safety of the hazardous production facility, indicating the details of the positive conclusion of the industrial safety examination[17].

5. The text part of the “Technological Solutions” subsection of the design documentation for capital construction production facilities.

who have undergone instruction on labor protection, tested their knowledge of labor protection requirements, have undergone on-the-job training and have been trained in safe methods and techniques for performing work[6].

An important condition for safe operation is the ease of assembly of the lift structure, as well as the possibility of its transportation. In Fig. Figure 5 shows a general view of the ZLP facade lift and its assembly option.

Construction platform ZLP 630: characteristics and advantages

Repair and finishing work on facades is convenient and safe to carry out using the ZLP 630 - a suspended platform with a lifting mechanism that is capable of lifting a load, workers or tools with a total weight of 630 kg to a height of up to 100 m. The design of the cradle was developed by Chinese specialists at the SMAAN Institute. Today, the ZLP 630 facade lift, the instructions for which are necessarily supplied with the equipment, is considered the safest, most convenient and practical equipment for lifting to heights. The platform can easily replace construction hoists and scaffolding systems.

If you need a ZLP 630 facade lift to carry out installation and restoration work at height, you can buy it or rent it in Moscow from our company. We supply construction baskets produced by leading Chinese brands “Wuxi Boyu”, “Ketong”, “Truemax” and “Shenxi”. The models presented in the catalog have passed certification and registration tests.

Scope of use of the façade cradle ZLP 630

cleaning of components and equipment at high-rise facilities;
shipbuilding: the ZLP 630 platform is indispensable for hull repair and welding;
laying and repairing engineering facilities on structures of considerable height;
installation and repair of window structures;
installation of decorative window elements: the construction lift ZLP 630 facilitates the installation of stained glass windows, mosaics, etc.;

Putting the lift into operation

For facade lifts, a special commissioning procedure has been defined. The equipment is installed according to standard technical specifications (Standard technological map “Operation of façade lifts (cradles) ZLP-630”) and PPR (clauses 155–163 of FNP PS), it must be subject to technical inspection before putting into operation, as well as during operation. The scope of work, the procedure and frequency of technical examinations are determined by the operating manual (instructions). If the operating manual (instructions) for the lift does not contain instructions for conducting a technical examination, the latter is carried out in accordance with paragraphs. 164–169 FNP PS.

Technical examination of the substation must be carried out by an engineer and technical worker responsible for carrying out production control during the operation of the substation, as well as with the participation of an engineer and technical worker responsible for maintaining the substation in working condition (clause 167 of the Federal Tax Code of the Substation).

Each facade lift must have its own technical passport. If several pieces of equipment are installed, the inspection is carried out separately for each of them, and the appropriate marks are placed in each of the passports by the engineering and technical worker responsible for carrying out production control.

During its service life, the substations must undergo periodic technical inspection:

a) partial – at least once every 12 months;

b) complete - at least once every 3 years, with the exception of rarely used substations (substation for servicing machine rooms, electrical and pumping stations, compressor units, as well as other substations used only for equipment repairs, for which a full technical examination is carried out 1 once every 5 years) (clause 165 of the FNP PS).

The results of the examination are documented in an act of acceptance of the PS (clauses 168–194 of the FNP PS) (see example).

Immediately after installing the lift, the work site must be fenced along the border of the dangerous zone of the lift using an inventory fence (see GOST R 58967-2020).

Safety signs must be posted in required places (see GOST 12.4.026-2015) in accordance with the PPR.

Places where work is carried out must have sufficient natural and artificial lighting, and the illumination must be uniform, without the glare of lamps on workers[8], meet fire safety requirements[9] (see Table 1) and electrical safety requirements[10].

Each cradle and console must have a plate containing the following data (clause 121 of the FNP PS):

registration number (the registration number is assigned to the substation by the territorial body of Rostechnadzor or another federal executive body in the field of industrial safety, which, in accordance with the established procedure, is granted the right to register subordinate facilities in the state register of hazardous production facilities);
PS serial number;
nameplate carrying capacity;
date of the next full and partial technical examination.

Equipment operating rules are publicly available, which must indicate:

method of loading the working platform;
list of service activities;
signaling methods used;
procedure before the start of a work shift and after its completion;
other necessary information.

So, we have decided what operational documents should be included in the kit and in the organization. In accordance with clause 2 of the FNP PS, a façade lift is subject to registration with the Rostechnadzor authorities, with the exception of lifts (towers) designed to move people, people and cargo (lifts with working platforms) with a lifting height of up to 6 m inclusive.

The design is equipped with special safety control mechanisms - tilt maintenance pendulums and locking systems that secure the cable. Among the existing construction lifting systems, the construction façade cradle ZLP 630 is considered the safest and easiest to operate.

The platform is manufactured from steel or aluminum. The second version of the ZLP 630 lift has less weight and is less susceptible to corrosion. Resistance to atmospheric and weather loads of steel cradles is ensured by galvanizing or powder painting of metal elements. The operational period of the façade cradle ZLP 630 is 24 months without the need for repairs. If you rent a lifting platform from our company, we provide you with fully functional and safe equipment. In our company, renting a ZLP 630 façade lift will amount to 30% of the total cost of the structure. You can rent a lift for any period of time.

Domestic models of cantilever facade lifts

This type of construction equipment is produced by several manufacturers from different countries. Let's look at the most popular and widespread models in our country. The domestic industry offers a single-seat model under the brand name 3449b and a double model, designated 3851b. These models are based on 1 and 2 consoles, respectively. At the same time, the 3851b lift is more common because it is more stable and lifting loads, therefore, it has more areas of application and capabilities. It can be used on structures up to 150 m high and lift a total mass of up to 500 kg. Consoles allow you to vary the distance from the platform to the wall (90, 150 or 250 cm), which helps to use a variety of types of tools and devices. The lifting mechanism of model 3851b, which is a winch between 2 drums, is located directly under the platform deck. The 2.2 W electric motor provides a lifting speed of 500 kg at a speed of 5.5 m/min.

Lifts from domestic manufacturers are reliable and easy to maintain. They are installed easily and quickly enough: consoles are mounted, concrete or cast iron counterweights are placed on them, then a suspended platform is attached to the consoles using 4 cables, 2 of which are safety cables. Counterweights are suspended from it below. In the event of a break or sudden sagging of one of the lift's supporting cables, the brake system is automatically activated and the platform hangs on the safety cable. In this case, it is possible to turn off the power supply and lift it manually.

Facade lift ZLP 630

Today, not only numerous household appliances are manufactured in China, but also devices from various fields of industry. This type of equipment includes unique modern construction lifts ZLP, which are manufactured by several companies. Let us examine in more detail the main technical and operational characteristics of the 630 model lift, intended for repair and construction work.

The main company specializing in the manufacture of this equipment is Chinese. Somewhat inferior to it in terms of production volumes or “Ketong”. However, regardless of the manufacturer, each lifting device must be certified and also have an appropriate warranty (usually 1 year).

The ZLP 630 lift consists of two main parts: the cradle (the load-bearing frame and its constituent elements) and the console (which includes various systems that are necessary for the functioning of the entire device). The frame houses the power components and control system.

Purpose

The ZLP 630 lifting device is intended for construction and repair work, which can be carried out both inside and outside various structures. In addition, it can be used to move goods for the enterprise.

The main areas of use of this model are:

processing of walls and partitions;
painting of various elements of buildings, including their finishing with mosaics;
installation of window openings;
periodic monitoring of the condition of buildings;
repair of elevator shafts, as well as maintenance of the entire elevator facility;
shipbuilding industry;
maintenance of bridges and technical repairs of dams.

Features of the cradle structure

The lift is equipped with retractable consoles, which significantly increases its functionality and adds additional convenience in operation. The distance between the cradle and the wall is adjustable, which allows you to work on an inclined surface.

The presence of a universal catching system in the device allows you to achieve the required angle of inclination for a variety of purposes. At the same time, the lift is equipped with such a necessary safety element as a cable movement blocker in the event of a break in the cradle. The absence of electronic systems makes the device completely immune to various malfunctions, and also adds additional reliability to it.

The cradle itself is supplied in a detachable design, which greatly simplifies the delivery of all elements to the construction site. At the same time, numerous elements of the mechanism have the appropriate technical characteristics, which significantly increase the versatility of the lift.

Operating principle

Before starting work, the lower part of the cable is attached to the hoist and inserted into the lifting winch. After this, the electrical control system is connected to the power supply. After all the preparatory work has been completed, you can proceed to direct work on the site, which will be set in motion by the corresponding buttons.

Thanks to the built-in modern braking system, it is possible to achieve smooth movement of the platform, without jerks and unexpected accelerations. In addition, this system is responsible for the serviceability of the catcher.

Technical parameters of the ZLP 630 lift

maximum load capacity – 0.63 t;
movement speed (ascent, descent) – 9.6 m/min.;
power indicators of the electric motor – 2 kW (there are a total of 2 motors on the site);
dimensions (width x length) – 0.8 x 6 m;
cable length (standard) – 150 m. In addition, the cradle can be equipped with longer cables, which allows it to rise an additional 200 m;
the weight of the console and platform (respectively) is 310 and 120 kg.

The use of ZLP 630 lifts allows you to significantly minimize the costs of hiring additional workers specializing in work at heights. In addition, the useful area of the platform allows for more comfortable accommodation of personnel. Increased reliability of the entire system, which uses a minimum of various electronic systems, increases productivity and reduces the likelihood of extreme emergency situations.
