In order to compensate for the hostile environments found in food processing plants where sanitary requirements dictate frequent "wash downs" of production areas, a new hot dip galvanizing finish of its hydraulic lift tables after finished assembly is announced by Pentalift Equipment. The hot dip galvanizing of the completed unit assures a highly protective, corrosion resistant finish to all components. The galvanized lift tables will accept repeated hose downs and washings with disinfectant solutions without damage. Initial installation of the galvanized tables has been completed at a major ice cream manufacturer, where the tables are used to raise containers of ingredients and flavours to an elevated work station, prior to being poured into a mixing machine. Pictured to the left is a double scissor lift which has a 44"x50" platform, a 52" vertical lift from a 12" low height and a 2,500 lb capacity. Other unique features include:

• full width hinge pins to assure maximum stability
• top bars installed below the perimeter of the platform to automatically stop downward travel of the table if any obstruction is contacted and
• Pentalift's exclusive PentaFlow Hydraulic Cylinders, designed to ensure long cylinder life and reduce maintenance.
