Determine Force for inclining platform

[jr5]

TL;DR Summary

A hydraulic actuator force, F is 3000m from the right is lifting the platform upwards. The load 12000kg is UDL. How do I calculate for F?

 

[erobz]

Is it accelerating the load? ##F## will also be a function of the cylinder geometry.

 

[jr5]

No it's not accelerating the load. The cylinder geometry will be depending on the calculated force.

Moment: 12,000 kg at 3.000 m = 36,000 kg⋅m .
If one lift cylinder is located at 1.906 m from the fulcrum,
the load will be; 36,000 / 1.906 = 18,888. kg .
18,888 kg * 9.8 = 185,100 newton.
Have you included the mass of the tilting platform?

The load is 12,000 kg, and you are asking for advice on an Internet forum? Can you provide a link to your buisiness insurance company please?

It's not for company, it's a mockup.

It's not for company, it's a mockup.

I don't understand. Is the load really 12,000 kg, or is that mocked up too? If it's real, what happens if/when the support fails?
