Abstract
Scissor-type systems are frequently used as lifting systems in the industry. These systems are mainly preferred to do maintenance, repair, and clean. In this study, the design and analysis of a scissor lift system were performed with having a load carrying capacity of 500kg and a working height of 2m. The solid model and assembly of the system have been developed by the SolidWorks program. The structural analysis of the system was also investigated with the help of the same program i.e. stress, deflection, and safety factor values of system elements were obtained. As a result of the analyses, it was concluded that the system designed could safely be used during load/unload operations.

Introduction coordinatesThese systems are safer than telescopic lifting systems
In the scissors lifting systems, the platforms are elevated by opening the scissors which are connected to each other by hydraulic cylinder
The load carrying capacity and the working height of the designed scissor lifting system were determined as 500kg and 2m, respectively
Summary
These systems are safer than telescopic lifting systems. The systems are not designed to lift loads and these systems carry only one person on the platform. The most popular lifting systems in the industry are scissors lifting systems. These systems are especially used for maintenance-repair and cleaning. In the scissors lifting systems, the platforms are elevated by opening the scissors which are connected to each other by hydraulic cylinder. Each platform has a certain carrying and height capacity [1, 2]. In the mechanical design of the platform, the sizes of profiles, the selection of hydraulic cylinder and electric motor are very important in terms of user safety
