A platform is a plane normally translated on the vertical axis with the help of various lifting systems, such as hydraulic or mechanical jacks. Unimec manufactures superb quality mechanical Screw Jacks and Bevel Gear Reducers with exceptional performance, absolute reliability and high accuracy. The use of a Screw Jack offers a variety of advantages such as its inherent self-locking mechanics allowing to maintain its position while supporting the load even in case of motor failures or power outages.

The fork grip is a synchronized system capable of grabbing, supporting, moving and releasing heavy loads in absolute safety. Unimec TPR DA Dual-Action Screw Jacks are the heart of the system: these models are characterized by two separate, opposite-thread spindles, operating simultaneously: the opposite thread allows the two translating nuts to travel simultaneously in opposite directions. Multiple screw jacks can be mechanically synchronized with the help of high rigidity transmission shafts. All of Unimec screw jacks can be manufactured in the DA Dual Action configuration and offer standard load capacities up to 55,000 lbs each.
