Hydraulic Lift & Rotate Tables for Ergonomic Material Handling
The Pentalift Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table combines hydraulic vertical lifting with integrated manual platform load rotation to position and rotate materials to the ideal working height and orientation. The Pentalift Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table is an ergonomic solution that smoothly rotates the work to the operator while providing hydraulic vertical positioning. By allowing operators to raise, lower, and manually rotate loads to the desired working position, the lift table can eliminate unnecessary reaching, bending, walking, and operator movement.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table is available in 2,000, 3,500, and 5,500 lb. capacities with 24″ or 36″ of vertical travel. It is an ideal solution for manufacturing, assembly, packaging, palletizing, inspection, machine loading, and production applications where operators require access to multiple sides of a load.

Improve Ergonomics and Material Handling Efficiency
Many industrial processes require operators to access multiple sides of a pallet, container, fixture, or assembly. Walking around loads, reaching across materials, or manually repositioning heavy products can increase physical demands and reduce productivity.
The Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table brings the load to the operator and rotates it into the desired working position.
Benefits include:
- Reduced bending, reaching, and awkward working positions
- Less manual repositioning of heavy or bulky products
- Improved access to multiple sides of a load
- Reduced operator fatigue
- More efficient assembly and production processes
- Improved workstation ergonomics
- Faster and more consistent material positioning
Integrated Hydraulic Lifting and Rotation
The Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table combines two positioning functions in one integrated system.
Hydraulic lifting raises and lowers the load to the desired working height, allowing operators to work in a more comfortable position.
Load rotation allows products, pallets, fixtures, or assemblies to be turned into the desired orientation without requiring operators to walk around or manually reposition the load.
This combination makes the Pro-Series particularly effective for applications requiring multi-sided access, repetitive positioning, or ergonomic work positioning.
Heavy-Duty Construction and PentaFLOW Technology
Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Tables are engineered with structural steel components designed for demanding industrial environments. One-piece scissor legs, reinforced platforms, structural base components, and precision pivot points provide strength and durability.
The lifting system incorporates Pentalift’s exclusive PentaFLOW hydraulic bypass cylinder technology. The internal bypass system continuously circulates hydraulic oil and automatically removes trapped air, eliminating the need for manual cylinder bleeding. This design supports smooth operation and helps reduce hydraulic maintenance requirements.

Why Choose a Pentalift Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table?
The Pentalift Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table provides controlled hydraulic lifting and load rotation in one integrated material handling solution. By positioning loads at the desired height and orientation, it helps reduce unnecessary material handling while improving operator ergonomics and production efficiency.
For applications requiring vertical lifting without rotation, consider the Pentalift Pro-Series Lift Tables. For applications requiring both lifting and rotation, the Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table provides an integrated solution.

Lift and Rotate Table FAQs
What is a lift and rotate table?
A lift and rotate table is a hydraulic rotating lift table: the scissor lift raises and lowers the load to a comfortable working height, and the top turns so the operator can reach each side of the load without walking around it. On the Pro-Series, rotation is manual, with optional 90° stops, locks, and a brake.
How much weight can a hydraulic lift and rotate table handle?
The Pentalift Pro-Series Lift & Rotate Table is available in 2,000, 3,500, and 5,500 lb capacities. The rating should cover the full weight on the top, including pallets and fixtures. For heavier loads or combined lift, rotate, and tilt motion, Pentalift can engineer a custom solution.
