Project Background
Qingdao Polar Ocean World is a renowned marine theme park in China, featuring an oceanarium, animal performance arenas, and interactive experience zones. To enhance visitor experience, the park decided to add a water scissor lift stage for marine animal performances and other water activities. Gradin-Lift was entrusted with the design and manufacturing of this stage.

Project Requirements
At the project’s inception, Qingdao Polar Ocean World outlined the following requirements:
1. Safety: The lift stage needed to meet high safety standards to ensure the safety of animals and performers.
2. Stability: The stage must remain stable during the lifting process to prevent wobbling or tilting.
3. Waterproofing: The stage would be in constant contact with water, necessitating excellent waterproofing to prevent corrosion and mechanical failure.
4. Load Capacity: The stage needed to support significant weight, including multiple marine animals and performers.
5. Ease of Operation: The lifting mechanism needed to be simple and convenient to operate, allowing performers to quickly adjust the stage.

Design Solution
Based on the project requirements, Gradin-Lift developed a detailed design solution:
1. Scissor Structure Design: A double scissor design was adopted to enhance stability and load capacity during the lifting process. The scissor arms were made from high-strength steel to ensure robustness and durability.
2. Hydraulic System: An advanced hydraulic lift system was installed to control the lifting speed and height smoothly and accurately. The hydraulic system featured excellent waterproofing to ensure long-term stable operation underwater.
3. Anti-Corrosion Materials: The stage surface and key components of the hydraulic system were treated with anti-corrosion materials to prevent seawater damage and extend the equipment’s lifespan.
4. Intelligent Control System: An intelligent control panel was integrated, allowing operators to adjust the stage height with simple button presses. The system included multiple safety mechanisms to prevent operational errors and accidents.

Project Outcomes
Since its implementation, the water scissor lift stage has performed excellently in various performances and activities at Qingdao Polar Ocean World, receiving widespread acclaim. Key outcomes include:
1. Enhanced Performance Quality: The lift stage significantly enriched the variety of performances, enhancing the viewing experience for the audience.
2. Increased Operational Efficiency: The user-friendly intelligent control system enabled performers to quickly adjust the stage position, improving the continuity and smoothness of performances.
3. Improved Safety: High safety standards and multiple protection mechanisms effectively ensured the safety of animals and performers.

Conclusion

The water scissor lift stage designed and manufactured by Gradin-Lift for Qingdao Polar Ocean World exemplifies a successful collaboration. The project not only met the park’s requirements but also enhanced its overall operational level through advanced technology and high-quality standards.
