Jema Autolifte · Vehicle scissor lift

The safety lock and latch of the product might fail, causing the carrying device to fall, leading to injuries. There is no protection of the hoses and against hydraulic fluid spray. If the hydraulic fluid hose is damaged, the high pressure fluid may cause injuries to the operator. The product's pressure gauge and the pressure relief valve did not properly work. This could lead to excessive pressure of the hydraulic system of the lift, causing hydraulic fluid to leak under high pressure, causing injuries to a person close the lift. The carrying arms, carrying device and vehicle plate are not sufficiently locked. Consequently, they could inadvertently move, leading to injuries to persons close to the product. Moreover, there is no limiting of the lowering speed, which could result in a fast descend of the lift, causing injuries to a person close to or underneath the lift. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 1493.
