"Facilities and Engineering"

To accomplish Pentalift's objectives, the company has invested heavily in the latest, most sophisticated computer aided design engineering hardware and software. In the hands of our highly skilled staff of professional materials handling engineers, this technology has benefitted both us and our customers. The use of advanced solid modelling, finite element analysis systems and computer drafting software let us create a new or modified machine model right on the computer.




We can readily simulate load conditions and assess the structural integrity of every design by using finite element analysis software. Many costly and time-consuming prototype and testing steps are initially simulated on computers prior to actual construction.

Our unmatched commitment to offering the optimal solutions for positioning applications has established Pentalift Equipment Corporation as the industry leader.





The lift cylinder is the heart of any hydraulic lift system. Pentalift's exclusive design ensures the longest cylinder life, reduces maintenance and eliminates oil spills.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

Pentalift's PentaFlow cylinder is completely sealed from the surrounding atmosphere and all components are continuously bathed in fresh oil. Contamination and deterioration of the cylinder cannot occur.

When the cylinder reaches full extension, the bypass valve opens and allows oil to flow through the piston to the rod side of the cylinder, out the port and back to the reservoir. This prevents the cylinder from from dead ending and building high stresses in the cylinder, equipment structure and hydraulic system.

Air in the cylinder is automatically ejected through the by-pass valve. The need for manual bleeding which often results in oil spills is eliminated.

Note: Precision turned, ground, polished and chrome plated cylinder rod and drawn over mandrel precision honed barrel is standard on all PentaFlow cylinders.
