Lift Work Tables for Ergonomic Material Handling

A lift table raises or lowers a platform using a lifting mechanism such as a hydraulic scissor lift, hydraulic post lift, pneumatic lift, or mechanical lift. The selected configuration positions materials for handling, loading, unloading, assembly, inspection, or packaging. Application requirements determine the appropriate lift height, capacity, platform arrangement, and mobility.

Lift table options include standard, tilting, rotating, pallet positioner, mobile, low-profile, and ground-entry configurations. Mechanisms may include hydraulic scissor lifts, hydraulic post lifts, pneumatic lifts, or mechanical lifts. Container tilters support pour-out and dump-out tasks, while pallet positioners help maintain a workable pallet height during loading and unloading.

The products on this page are Lift Tables manufactured by Southworth Products Corp. and supplied by Storage Products Company. They are available for purchase with pricing available on request. Hydraulic scissor lift and hydraulic post lift options are listed, along with installation service, preventative maintenance, equipment inspections, and technical support.

The best hydraulic lift table is the configuration that matches the application’s load, lift-height, platform, mobility, and work-positioning requirements. Options include hydraulic scissor and hydraulic post lift mechanisms, as well as pallet positioner, mobile, tilting, rotating, and low-profile designs. Technical support and ergonomic application consultation can help identify a suitable arrangement.

Hydraulic lift tables are industrial safety equipment and should be selected, installed, and maintained according to the application and applicable safety requirements rather than built without engineering controls. The listed equipment includes hydraulic scissor and post lift options and references ANSI / MH29.1 industrial scissor lift safety standard compliance. Professional installation and inspections are available.

Lift work tables are used for vertical lifting and work positioning at packaging, assembly, inspection, and order-pick stations. They also support warehouse and distribution work, repetitive lift-to-height transfers, pallet loading and unloading, container pouring or dumping, and flexible workstation positioning. Their ergonomic purpose is to reduce bending and lifting at fixed-height work positions.
