During the final stages of production, all Pentalift lift tables receive a spray-applied gray enamel finish coat. Optional non-standard enamel paint colors are available and can be selected to match existing equipment or the end user’s preferred color.
To ensure consistent color identification, Pentalift uses the internationally recognized RAL color matching system. The RAL system offers over 2,500 color options—for example, Signal Yellow (RAL1003), Cobalt Blue (RAL5013), and Traffic White (RAL9016). Depending on the chosen color, a primer coat may be required before the final finish is applied.
An epoxy-based spray finish is a popular upgrade choice thanks to its superior durability. Compared to enamel paint, epoxy coatings offer greater corrosion protection against acids, alkalis, and solvents. They are also better suited for guarding against natural elements such as sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, making them well-suited for many outdoor applications where constant rain, snow or submersion is not a regular occurrence.
For environments with strict hygiene standards, an optional Food Grade Epoxy finish is available. This coating provides additional protection against moisture, abrasion, and chemicals, and meets USDA Incidental Food Contact requirements.
For superior protection against rust and corrosion, Hot Dip Galvanizing is the most durable and effective finish offered. Although it is more costly than other coating options, it offers comprehensive, long-lasting coverage—making it particularly well-suited for outdoor or harsh environmental conditions. After assembly and load testing, our lift tables are dismantled into sub-assemblies and sent to be galvanized. The components are first cleaned in an acid bath and then dipped in molten zinc ensuring complete and uniform surface coverage with deep corrosion protection. Once galvanizing is complete, the sub-assemblies are returned to the factory for reassembly, packaging, and shipment.
