Platform lifters are simple machines that are used to lift platforms horizontally. This model uses the same principles as those in real situations, except you use water instead of hydraulic fluid - much cleaner!
This kit is similar to the Cherry Picker except that the platform swings freely. Fully extended it stands over 22 cm high (this is taller than many salt shakers!). This makes for some interesting fun as you can balance an object as you raise up the platform.
Easy to assemble in less than an hour, this kit uses one hydraulic piston attached to the main arm.
These kits are great for teachers and kids to get going on the study of levers and simple machines, and a great beginning to make their own machines!
- All pieces are pre-cut and pre-drilled for easy and very sturdy construction.
- Has an excellent, easy to read and understand building manual with clear illustrations.
- Comes with glue
- Stands 22 cm high when completed
NOTE: This item uses the metric system.
