A semi portable lift table has two rollers on one end of the frame and a removable dolly handle on the other end. With the dolly handle removed, the lift table frame sits on the floor. If the lift table is to be moved to a different location, the dolly handle is positioned lifting the frame clear of the floor on to the two fixed wheels. This permits a lift table to be portable while maintaining a comparatively low height. Due to the portability, lift tables are provided with a self-contained 115... Read More

The reason lift tables have various horse power ratings is strictly to achieve typical speeds of vertical travel. The quicker the oil can be pumped into a cylinder, the quicker the cylinder extends, increasing the lift speed. Generally, the higher the capacity of the lift table, the more cylinders the lift table will require. In order to maintain typical lift speeds of 10 – 12 feet per minute, a higher rated power unit is used to achieve these speeds.

The problem you may experience with a push button control unit is that in order to operate the lift table, the operator must use their hands to control the table. This can slow efficiency because if an operator is positioning a load and decides to raise or lower the table, he must first position the load before operating it. If he has a guarded foot pedal control station, the operator can simply lift the table ... Read More
No low designed hydraulic lift tables do not require a pre formed pit or a lift truck to position the pallet on the lift table. The platform of this design rests right at floor level with a bevelled leading edge. A manual pump truck is all that is required to position or remove the pallet on this design of hydraulic lift table. This significantly lowers the cost of material handling equipment and also improves safety by keeping power driven equipment away from the work station.
