Hydraulic Lift Tables

Hydraulic Lift Tables Hydraulic Lift Tables are commonly used to position loads at an ergonomic height for packaging and assembly operations, to interface with machinery, and to change elevations of various logistics infrastructures. Standard lift tables are those in which the capacity is between 2,000 and 6,000 Ibs, have a lowered height around 7", vertical travel of 24" to 60" and platform widths of 24" to 72". Standard lift tables make up the bulk of liftable applications and can be customized to fit specific requirements such as tapered toe guards for pit mounting as well as caster frame assemblies. Mobile lift tables come in a number of different powered and non-powered varieties. Both the vertical and horizontal motion can be manual, fully electrio or a combination of the two. Mobile lift tables, also called lift carts, that are manually pushed and elevated through the use of a manual foot pump are economic work positioning solutions for light duty assembly operations where the product is transported from work cell to work cell throughout the process and the changes in elevation are minor. On the other side of the spectrum, electric-hydraulic liftables paired with an industrial pallet truckfind great utility in die handling applications from die racks to presses. Rotating lift tables, commonly referred to as work positioners, are used in applications where access to all sides of the load is required. While a rotating top can be mounted to a standard liftable, lifts of this designation have been specifically designed to incorporate a rotating platform and feature reduced lowered heights. This reduction allows for greater access to tall palletsizes as well as accommodating greater differences in operator height. Low profile lift tables are used in applications where the lowered height is critical, ramping on to or off of the platform is required and a pit mounted solution is not feasible. With lowered heights around 3", the platform is accessible by use of a standard pallet jack. The constraints of a low profile design do not allow for heavy duty or high cycle applications as the scissor arms have to be narrow enough to fit within a confined space limiting the capacity to around 3,000 lbs. Stainless steel lift tables are for use in wash down applications, primarily in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Depending on the specific conditions of the application, a combination of stainless steel, special paints and other materials are used to meet the right combination of corrosion resistance and cost. Remote power units are typical for these types of applications and be housed in stainless steel.
