If you are working in a business venture it is doubtful that you can modify this machine and still comply with statute law.
Also, the motors are 110V for a reason as you have trailing flexes between columns, I see many of these in commercial vehicle garages.
They are this way for a reason.
Is the "machine" CE marked?
If so then to comply with the law you cannot modify it without re-CE marking it.
Mind looking at tha control box I doubt is is CE marked as it is such a shambles!
It may do though, on the face of it at least the colour codes seem correct.
You need to sort out the supply side to comply with the law unless you are not bothered.
I can't see no CE markings anywhere.
I had a feeling the machine was 110v due to the mobile nature of the machine. I would rather try and work with what is already there as I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Like you say, I could just bodge something together and make it work, But I am not that kind of person. Would rather do it and do it once. As I said before, I am only going to be using the lift once in a while for my own truck because my scissor lifts are not rated for 3.6 ton. I am planning on doing this with my lifts
If you have seen these in the field, Can you tell me how they did it? Did they have a transformer on the wall ???
