Lifting platform systems are used for vertical lifting and lowering of loads or people in various factories and industries. These systems include different types of lifting platforms such as hydraulic platforms, scissor platforms and vertical lift platforms. The lifting platform system is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller). The goal of the work is to enable quick and efficient movement between two floors with one click of a button. The main components of this system are: PLC, AC/DC rectifier 12 V, AC/DC rectifier 5V, buttons 1 and 2 and automatic fuse 16A, for the drive part a DC motor 5V and a CD module, which already has limit switches and guides, were used , also in case of loss of voltage, the system has an automatic brake and the platform remains in the position in which it is located.
