History of Lifting Platform

　　The History of Lifting Platforms

　　Lifting platform business can emerge with the economic and social impact of people's demand for vertical transportation, as long as the development of human civilization. The original lifting platform uses basic power means such as human, animal and hydraulic to lift the weight. Before the industrial development technological revolution, these enterprise work power way method has been widely studied by lifting device through the use.

　　Lifting platform in ancient Greece, Archimedes developed improved lifting device by the operation of ropes and pulleys, the use of winches and levers to wind winding rope.

　　The 1203 platform of a monastery on the French coast was mounted on a huge wheel, powered by a donkey and lifted by a rope wound around a huge pole.

　　In 1743, Louis XV of France authorized the installation of a private palace building project in Versailles to manage the platform by using a personnel lifting system that was also a counterweight.

　　In 1833, a system using reciprocating rods lifted miners in the Harz Mountains region of Germany.

　　In 1835, a belt-driven lifting platform called a "winch" was installed in a British factory.

　　In 1846, an industrial hydraulic lifting platform was introduced, followed by other powered elevators.

　　In 1854, the American mechanic Otis invented us as a ratchet mechanical device, and at the International Economic and Trade Market Development Exhibition in New York the Chinese culture demonstrated the safety management control lift system service platform. 1889, the tower was built with a steam-driven lifting platform, and later an elevator was built.

　　In 892, the lift system for the Chilean Mount Astillero to carry out the equipment can be built, until we now in China, 15 lifting technology management platform economic development issues are still using mechanical electronic information equipment from more than 110 years ago.

　　The high achievement of lifting platforms in the world is not the lifting platform on the Goto Costa Tunnel, which is currently under construction in the Swiss canton of Gros Grinden. The St. Gotthard Tunnel, a 57-kilometer underground railroad tunnel from the Alpine ski resort to the rest of Europe, is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 2016. The alpine high-speed railway station is about 800 meters above sea level and about 800 meters above ground. When completed, it will be the longest lift platform in the world. After reaching the ground through the lift platform, they can take the Alpine Ice Sightseeing Express train and reach the mountain resort in two hours.
