What’s a hydraulic lift table?

A lift table is a work platform that allows handlers to raise or lower any type of heavy load. This elevator is a safety device for transporting materials, and it constitutes an alternative to a conventional lift.

A hydraulic lift table is also an elevator capable of adjusting to tight spaces as well as moderate travel speeds. The peculiarity of a hydraulic lift table is that it generally has a manual control as well as a hydraulic jack and a scissor system. Like a lever system, these make it possible to amplify movements and therefore lift heavier loads, which greatly helps the handler without them getting too tired.

The questions to ask yourself when choosing a hydraulic lift table

• To what height must the loads generally be lifted?
• What is the maximum weight of the loads that I would need to lift?
• What shapes and dimensions will the loads to be lifted have?
• Does a hydraulic lift table meet the specifics of my industry?
• Does the lift table have to be equipped with lift assistance?
• Do the loads that will be lifted then have to be manipulated horizontally?

What does a good hydraulic lift table consist of?

A hydraulic lift table consists of a base chassis that supports the whole structure and that must therefore be strong, stable, and rigid. This can be equipped with wheels, pivoting rollers, or a handling chassis to optimize its mobility and its use according to the industry.

It must also consist of scissors that allow for vertical movement as well as the carriage of the load on the platform. Depending on your line of business and the loads to be lifted, the platform, for its part, will have to be chosen based on its size as well as the equipment that may accompany it, such as circular platforms, ramps, conveyor belts, rocker platforms, fastening eyelets, and many more.

The advantages of a hydraulic lift table

Hydraulic lift tables consist of a stable platform that raises objects without the risk of dropping them. They therefore offer a high level of safety and a low risk of accidents for objects and employees, who could be injured by loads that are likely to fall.

In addition, in the event of an accidental power outage, hydraulic lift tables are designed to ensure everyone’s safety, and their trips are automatically interrupted. Another major advantage of hydraulic lift tables is that they’re very easy to manipulate and they’re therefore accessible to anyone who needs to lift an object. They also represent a good economic alternative, since their resistance makes them very durable.

MSK hydraulic lift tables

Because MSK works to create storage systems in the commercial, industrial, educational, hospitality, and car dealership fields, its lifting products are strong, resistant, and require very little maintenance, so they can be used for a few years before they have to be inspected. MSK’s hydraulic lift tables feature the additional advantage of being specially designed for the proper positioning of the workers, which helps ensure their well-being and therefore increases their productivity. MSK also offers a wide variety of other lift tables with capacities and dimensions that can meet any type of need.
