Floor-Level Lifts Can Be Loaded, Unloaded by Hand Pallet Jack



Ergonomic XZ Series hydraulic floor-level lifts from Presto Lifts Inc. can handle loads of up to 6,000 lbs. "These lifts are useful in all the usual lift-table applications (assembly, maintenance, palletizing, etc.) and can be easily loaded/unloaded with an ordinary hand pallet truck," said a company spokesperson.

The platform of an XZ lift lowers to floor level, leaving the pan-style platform no more than half an inch above the floor for easy roll-on/off. "Accessible from all four sides, XZ lifts rise to a height of just over 35 inches to minimize bending and lifting, thus reducing employee fatigue, injuries and production times," said the spokesperson. A bright yellow 6" flexible strip is mounted to the lip of the platform to protect against toe injuries. The lift motor can be controlled by a foot switch or pushbuttons, and a 10-foot lead is available at no additional charge.

Six models offer two standard platform sizes (44 x 48 and 50 x 48") and lift capacities of 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 lbs., but custom designs are available. Bellows skirting is also available. "Any XZ Series lift can be relocated with a hand pallet truck," said the spokesperson.
