No Low Lift Tables
No low lift tables are hydraulic scissor lift tables that permit floor level access. Allows easy entry by pallet trucks and other material handling equipment. Capacities are available in a range from 2,500 to 6,000 lb. No Low Lift Tables are designed to accommodate dimensions of pallets and racks used in various industries. Platform sizes available from 44” x 48” to 50” x 54”. Front approach edge of the platform is beveled to make the loading/unloading of the table ... Read More
A powered rotating top is often used when the load to be rotated exceeds the ergonomic guidelines; basically when it’s just too heavy to rotate by hand. Another common application for a powered rotating top occurs when rotation is a part of an automated system, no human interaction involved. Regardless of the application powered rotating tops can be specified as one direction or bi-direction, limit switches to stop rotation at predetermined positions or to be used completely under operator or ...

Portable lift tables typically have 2 fixed casters and 2 swivel casters equipped with either steel or phenolic wheels for mobility and ease of positioning. Manually moving a lift table with more than 6,000 lbs creates significant inertia that is difficult to stop, it’s easier to start the fully loaded lift table moving than stopping the fully loaded lift table. There are applications requiring portable lift tables with much higher load ratings, these high capacity portable lift tables are gen... Read More
Lift, tilt, and rotate tables are used for many different applications, but a very common application for a lift, tilt, and rotate table is to help increase ergonomics inside of the work place. These pieces of equipment can help eliminate any unhealthy bending or stretching of the body in the work area to prevent future or long term injures. Ergonomic lift, tilt, and rotate tables help make a more efficient and comfortable work place and can prolong the duration of a employees career.

Self leveling lift tables are very common in de-palletizing or palletizing applications. When empty self leveling lift tables store in the raised position, in a de-palletizing application a lift truck or a “straddle” lift truck first places the fully loaded pallet on the raised platform. The pallet is then lowered and the weight of the pallet forces the self leveling lift table down into the closed fully lowered position. The top of the loaded pallet is now at the ideal ergonomic operators w... Read More
Auto Return is only available on hydraulic dock levelers. When the truck is backed into position and the trailer doors are open the dock attendant cycles the dock leveler. The dock leveler deck raises, the lip extends, the dock leveler is then lowered and the extended lip is positioned on the truck bed. When the truck is loaded / unloaded typically the dock attendant would cycle the dock leveler into the closed, stored position. If there is no dock attendant available the truck driver departs, t...

Compression, with foam pad dock seals the amount of compression is very important. Too little compression results in not enough of a sealing factor, too much compression puts excess pressure on the building wall and causes premature failure of the dock seal. It’s very easy to calculate the correct amount of dock seal compression; measure from the wall the dock seal will be installed on to the face of the dock bumper and add 4”– 6”. 4”-6” of dock seal projection beyond the face of the...

When would you order a lift table with a remote power unit? Many designs of lift tables have the electric power units designed to be self-contained or internal. In some cases such as a wash down application, a paint shop environment etc. it is common to order the lift table with a remote power unit to avoid potential sparking. The speed of a lift table is often an important factor in a lift table application, to increase the lift/lower speed a larger pump/motor assembly is required and physicall... Read More
When selecting a dock lift, you want to make sure you find the most appropriate one for your application. The 5 main things to look for when choosing a dock lift would be whether the equipment is going to be floor mounted or pit installed, platform dimensions, what the lifting and roll over capacities will be, bridge lengths and what voltage will be offered to the dock lift at the place of installation. The manufacturer needs to know whether the equipment is going to be pit installed or placed o... Read More
The majority of lift tables are designed to be cycled 8 times per hour during an 8 hour shift, 5 days a week. In an application that needs more cycles than the standard amount, lift tables are recommended to be equipped with a high cycle package. A high cycle package consists of cam followers in place of leg rollers, spherical bearings in place of bushings, and often equipped with a central lubrication system. In addition to these components, high cycle lift tables are often specified with a con... Read More
