Can People Work on a Lift Table?
July 15, 2016, 1:48 pm - Pentalift lift tables can have additional options included that will permit use as a work platform , or for riders to travel with the load. When there will be personnel riding on the table it must be equipped with guard rails on all sides that are not used for loading and unloading, and gates or chains for any side used for loading and unloading. Pentalift also recommends moving to checker plate on platform where there will be riders. If preferred, Pentalift can offer an anti-slip grit that is imbedded in the paint, but this grit will wear with traffic. Any tables where there are riders must have constant pressure controls…press and release controls are not permitted when there are riders. Finally, any application where there will personnel on or around the table must be reviewed for any potential pinch or shear points. Contact your Pentalift Sales Representative for more information.

When Do I Need an Automatic Hydraulic Roll-Off-Stop on a Dock Lift?
July 7, 2016, 2:28 pm - Only if you are using a lift truck on your dock lift would you require an Automatic Hydraulic Roll-Off-Stop. When the dock lift is in the lowered, closed position, the roll-off-stop is flat. The lift truck drives across the roll-off-stop onto the platform. When the "up" button is activated, the roll-off-stop is powered into the vertical position before the dock lift begins to rise. 
When the dock lift is in the raised position, the lift truck drives onto the delivery truck. When the lift truck backs out of the truck, the roll-off-stop prevents the lift truck from accidentally driving off the dock lift and falling to the lower level.
