As a general rule of thumb for lift table applications  when lift tables are required to cycle more than 8 times per hour, or they are in use for multiple shifts, and they can be in operation 6 -7 days per week qualifies them as high cycle. In applications such as these it is highly recommended that the lift tables(s) be ordered with the optional high duty cycle package.  There are other factors that can contribute the prudency in moving to the high cycle option.
The optional high duty cycle package extends the operating life time of a lift table by replacing pivot point bushings with greasable spherical bearings and by replacing all steel leg rollers with greasable precision cam followers. These upgraded components minimize friction and wear at all of the lift tables pivot points.
It is important that the components provided in a high cycle package received regular proper lubrication. Implementing a regularly scheduled maintenance and lubrication program in conjunction with the high duty cycle package will successfully prolong the life span of the lift table. Lifts utilizing high cycle packages are frequently also equipped with a central grease option. This options provides a centrally located manifold that accommodates easier access to apply the grease to the require areas of the lift.
