All About A Scissor Lift Table

If you are searching for a lift that will assist in lifting and moving heavy objects in your shop or warehouse, a scissor lift table may be what you need. These lifts work well and can greatly improve productivity in your workplace, not to mention safety. That said, here's a look at what they can do.

Scissor lift tables are designed to handle loads of up to 2000 pounds or a little more. They generally operate on a 2HP motor that is more than enough to handle your needs and still provide many years of use. You'll find a 3000 PSI component rating for all the hoses and fittings.

Costs for a scissor lift table can range from a low of a couple hundred dollars, all the way up to $5000 or more depending on the size and a load capacity you desire. Like other types of lifts, safety is paramount and taken seriously. There are plenty of safety mechanisms and controls to prevent the table from dropping, regardless of losing hydraulic pressure.

Some lifts will also come with an optional tilt table that will give you the ability to tilt an item at any angle up to 45 degrees. It comes with a 12 inch high chain that will aid in keeping the load steady while being moved.

You'll notice that the tilting table also include a steel cradle that makes for easier unloading. On either of these types, they operate by either an electric motor or hydraulicy pressure. Both are excellent and the choice is really what you feel is the best for you.

These are only a few of the basics on this type of scissor lift. The key is in taking the time to assess your needs and then begin searching online for the particular model that best fits them.
