Hydraulic lifter (pantograph) for raising the bottom of autoclave baskets.

It was one of my first serious works. I was a student in my last years, so many times I had to ask the superior engineer for advice, but the experience was priceless. This hydraulic pantograph is designed for smooth controlled lifting of the bottom of autoclave baskets. Thus, the loading and unloading of the product always took place from the top of the basket. Before the advent of the lifter, workers had to dive to the bottom of the basket to put in or take out the cans. It was quite a spectacle =) Now, it does not look fresh, but this hydraulic lifter was designed and built about 13 years ago and it’s been working since then.
