Lift tables are available in many sizes, capacities, and lifting heights to suit a wide range of industrial applications. During the selection process, there are 5–6 main questions that help determine the base model, along with several secondary considerations to properly equip the lift table for the specific application.
Lifting Height
Lift tables are often used as ergonomic work positioners, in automated production lines, and to service multiple levels. Select the amount of vertical tr... Read More

What is a Self-Leveling Lift Table?
Self-leveling lift tables are most commonly used in palletizing and depalletizing applications. Designed to keep the platform at the optimal working height, a self-leveling lift table automatically adjusts as loads are added or removed.
Maintaining a constant, waist-high working height as the pallet is loaded or unloaded helps reduce operator back strain and fatigue by eliminating the need to bend, reach, or lift awkwardly as load height changes.

Lift tables are widely used across many industries that require products to be lifted, rotated, or tilted as part of their material handling processes. These versatile solutions improve efficiency and workflow by positioning loads at the correct height and orientation. Below are five key industries that benefit from lift tables in their day-to-day operations.
Manufacturing & Assembly
The manufacturing and assembly industry relies heavily on lift tables to support a wide range of ma... Read More
Vehicle restraints are designed with one primary purpose: securing trucks in position at the loading dock during the loading and unloading process. In demanding outdoor environments, all models of Pentalift vehicle restraints are engineered to operate efficiently year-round, performing reliably in all weather conditions.
Built for Harsh Outdoor Environments

Pentalift offers a wide range of laminated loading dock bumpers designed to stop incoming trucks at the dock. The forces exerted on the foundation wall when a truck contacts the dock bumpers can be extremely high. For this reason, the quality, durability, and design of dock bumpers are critical to long-term performance and loading dock safety.
Once a truck is backed into position against the dock bumpers, it is common for the trailer bed to move up and down as a forklift travels across the do... Read More
Choosing the most effective loading dock overhead door seal or dock shelter is important for energy savings at the loading dock and for protecting your building from weather and vermin.
The size of the overhead door determines whether a dock seal or a dock shelter should be used.
Foam Compression Dock Seals
Foam compression dock seals are best suited for overhead doors up to 9’ wide x 10’ high. This design is manufactured to be compressed as the truck backs into position, forming a ... Read More

Mechanical dock levelers operate using a combination of heavy-duty springs, cables and actuating chains to provide reliable loading dock operation.
In the closed, stored position mechanical dock levelers have a number of pre-loaded lift springs that are designed to force the deck assembly upward into the raised position. A hold down device is used to counter the effect of the lift springs and retain the dock leveler platform down in the closed, stored position when the dock leveler is not in ... Read More
Conventional pit-style dock levelers store with the platform level with the facility floor when in the parked position, with the overhead door closing down on top of the dock leveler platform.
Vertical storing dock levelers, as the name implies, store with the platform in the vertical position behind the closed overhead door. When the dock leveler is stored upright, the overhead door can tightly seal directly against the pit floor, creating a more effective barrier at the dock opening.
