Low-Profile Lift Table



The low-profile LiftMat lift table from Southworth Products descends to just 3-1/4" above the floor and accommodates any skid or pallet, including closed-bottom designs. When the unit is equipped with an optional diamond-plate ramp, workers can feed and offload it with a hand pallet truck or rolling cart, making it ideal for use in tight spaces, work cells or anywhere that a fork lift is unavailable.

The user can access loads from all four sides with no bending and minimal reach-over. As boxes are added or removed, the platform is raised or lowered to the most comfortable height with a powered foot switch, a hand-held push-button remote or a wall-mounted switch. A full perimeter, auto-stop safety toe guard instantly stops descent when it comes in contact with any obstruction.

Because it does not require a pit, the unit can be relocated as needed and can be used in leased buildings or on upper floors where pits cannot be built. Loading and unloading unpalleted boxes can be accomplished with a two-wheel hand truck or dolly, especially with the optional ramp. Other applications include machine feeding, raising malfunctioning equipment to a comfortable level for repair work, assembly work positioning and transferring loads between levels.

Capacity is 2,200 lbs. Raised height is 31-1/2". Made of sturdy, structural steel, the LiftMat is available with 15 platform sizes ranging in 6" increments of width and/or height from 24" x 60" to 48" x 72". All pivot points have lifetime lubricated bearings. Also available is a portability package: two fixed wheels at one end of the base frame and a skid spotter with steel wheels (adds 1/2" to collapsed height and requires a minimum platform width of 30").
