A lift table is exactly what its name implies. In its simplest form, it is a platform or table that can be raised or lowered to any height desired within its range of vertical movement.

Benefits of lift tables

Throughout industry there is a continuing need to lift and position work pieces and materials. If workers are asked to accomplish this lifting and positioning without the aid of powered mechanical equipment, the result can vary from fatigue and low productivity to serious personnel accidents. Between these two extremes are injuries that relate to continuous, repetitive lifting and awkward positioning such as back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. Lift tables are the ideal solution to lifting and positioning problems for the following reasons:

• Stable platform
  Unlike hoists, cranes, or manipulators, lift tables provide a stable platform for lifting and lowering materials. The chance of accidentally dropping a work piece is much lower, and the danger of a suspended load swinging and causing injury to workers is eliminated.
  
  
• Infinite height adjustment
  A lift table is designed to smoothly move up or down to any desired height and to maintain that height even if there is a power failure.
  
  
• Versatility
  Lift tables can be provided with a wide range of options such as conveyors platforms, tilting platforms, and platforms with special fixturing such as clamps and automatic work positioning devices.
  
  
• Programmable movement
  Movement can be programmed, and tables can be integrated into special handling systems.
  
  
• Portability
  Lift tables can be provided in portable configurations using wheels or casters and in semi portable configurations using a FLC (fork lift chassie).
  
  
• Wide vertical range
  Lift table can be installed in pits for absolute zero lowered height or in floor height, floor mounted versions, or provided with multiple scissor legs for high lifting. Another option is the low profile lift table. Because of the low collapsed height, low profile lifting table need no pit installation, as they can be placed directly on the floor.
  
  
• Low maintenance
  Lift tables are rugged, heavy-duty machines designed to provide years of reliable service with minimum maintenance.
