Ergonomic Scissor Lifts
Lift Tables, Tilt Tables, Turn Tables, Freight Lifts

Ergonomic scissor lifts and other work positioning equipment are important ergonomic improvements that improve productivity, improve product quality, reduce product damage and reduce the risk of worker injury.

Lifting, positioning and walking while carrying injuries are typically a result of:

• Repetitive lifting of weights that are too heavy over months or years of work
• Awkward working postures like bending, reaching and twisting
• Walking or climbing stairs or steps while carrying even a moderate weight payload
• Forceful exertions such as heavy pushing and pulling
• Repetitive hand and arm motions which include awkward hand and wrist postures combined with forceful exertions or high grip pressures

If you look around your plant or warehouse and see these kinds of work activities going on, you should consider solutions like these to make the work faster and easier while reducing your worker's compensation insurance claims.

Scissors lift work positioning tables include hydraulic lifts, air bag lifts, and mechanical lifts, and come in capacities up to 8,000 lbs, vertical travels through 60", and just about any platform size you need. Designed with lean manufacturing and ergonomics in mind!

Used independently or mounted with turntables or tilt tables, these work positioners enhance worker performance and safety by bringing the work to the worker and minimizing repetitive and wasted motion.

Container and Pallet Tilters and Tippers

Container, pallet and bin tippers are available in a wide range of power sources, stationary, mobile, tilt and turn, lift and tilt.  Improving worker postures reduces reach, speeds loading and unloading and minimizes awkward postures.  There are many affordable alternatives that have a quick payback.

Work Positioners

Light weight roll around work positioners are a good way to lift and transport moderate weight loads.  They are battery powered for lifting and manual push for transport.  They are available with special platforms, forks, roller or ball transfer decks and a range of special tooling to make lifting and moving safe and easy while protecting valuable payloads from damage.

Pallet Trucks and Pallet Lifts

Pallet trucks are a common material handling improvement.  We sell the best quality units available and can also provide stainless steel units for food processing and chemical environments.  We also have some unique pallet lifts which are portable and an economical alternative to lift tables.  You can lift and position pallets without a fork truck.

High Travel Lifts

For those applications that go beyond the need for ergonomic lifts, these high travel scissors lifts and vertical ram lifts are used as freight lifts, mezzanine lifts, conveyor lifts, and work platform lifts to move people, parts, or pallets over a high vertical distance.

Dock Lifts and Levelers

Dock scissors lifts are offered in both stationary and portable models, and can be pit mounted or surface mounted. Dock scissor lifts are typically used in the transfer of fork trucks or other wheeled loads from truck to dock or from truck to ground. Dock Levelers or Truck Levelers are ideal for dock areas which must load or unload trucks with a wide range of truck bed heights.

VRC Freight Lifts

Our complete line of Freightlift vertical reciprocating conveyors can be used indoors or outdoors, inside shafts or outside walls, and within or against mezzanines to transfer material or goods (not people!) from the ground to one or more elevated storage or work positions. Use in place of a freight elevator! Designed to meet ANSI B20.1.
