- Commonly used in places that need smooth and precise stops such as hospitals.
Limitations:
- Slower speed when compared to belt-driven or screw-driven system lifts.
- Require regular maintenance, such as oil changes in order to keep the hydraulic system running smoothly.
- Over time, the system may develop leaks, needing ongoing care.
2. Screw & Nut Driven System Lift
