1. Lift Tables

A lift table is a platform deck that uses a scissor mechanism to lift or lower goods. They are usually used to raise and place large, heavy loads a fairly small distance.

 

Advantages of a Lift Table

  • Loading & Unloading: Lift tables are a class of forklift that is great for loading and unloading products in a warehouse setting. The scissor lift mechanism can be adjusted to either stay low to place items on a truck or raise items to be stored in a hard-to-reach location.
  • Transporting Goods: If you need to transport goods to another part of your warehouse and then store them at great heights, a lift table is especially useful, especially if the items are heavy.
  • Increased Productivity & Reduction of Worker Strain: Lift tables will help you get rid of unproductive lifting, bending, and stretching that will eventually lead to worker fatigue and injury.

2. Pallet Handling

A pallet is a flat wooden or metal platform that is used to store goods so that they can be moved or lifted with a forklift. A pallet has both a top and bottom deck which gives it more stability than a skid, which doesn't have a bottom deck. There are different types of pallet handling equipment. They include pallet trucks and pallet positioners.
