Work lift tables are among our most popular product categories. Their design is often quite straightforward, yet they greatly simplify the work life for the user—a good combination of application and benefit.
The equipment
This configuration impressively demonstrates that a work lift table does not have to only lift. Simple raising and lowering was not sufficient for our customer for an optimal process flow. A rotating platform was also to be implemented on the assembly lift table. But this is not the only special feature:
The raised underframe
When you look closely at the scissor lift table, you immediately notice a unique feature—it is taller than a typical scissor lift table. The underframe of the table is not directly on the ground or in a pit, but is mounted on six robust legs.
Why this design? Our customer places great value on high flexibility. If the lift table were installed in a pit for level access, quick relocation would not be possible. A scissor lift table that is bolted to the floor, on the other hand, requires loading and unloading by forklift or crane, which can lead to bottlenecks.
The solution: We elevated the underframe. This allows the scissor lift table to be loaded with a standard electric high-lift truck. The fixed forks simply slide under the underframe and the load can be comfortably set down. An added bonus: The scissor lift table can also be easily moved with an electric high-lift truck.
The rotating platform
As previously mentioned, the rotating platform is the most distinctive feature of our lifting and rotating device. At each workstation, two scissor lift tables of the same type are used in combination.
One scissor lift platform is loaded with the components to be processed, while the second stands ready with an empty pallet to receive the finished components.
This system offers maximum comfort at the plant, as the operator can adjust the components or pallets to an ergonomically favorable height and then process each component in steps. Once half of the components are processed, the operator activates the powered rotating platform. This allows the operator to access the remaining components without much effort.
To avoid risks associated with the movement of the rotating platform, the lowering of the table can only occur in the 0° and 180° positions.
