Algorithm for designing a hydraulic scissor lifting platform

The paper describes the hydraulic scissor platforms and presents an algorithm for their design and optimization. Depending on the dimensions of the platform, the maximum height at which it rises and the maximum load is presented a program for calculating the number of scissors and the forces in the joints. The obtained data allow to choose the type of hydraulic table (with one, two or three scissors) and sizing the elements according to the beneficiary's requirements.
