A new lift table introduced by Southworth Products, of Portland, Maine, lowers to just 3-1/2″ above the floor and can accommodate any skid or pallet, including closed bottom designs, up to 2,200 pounds. The LiftMat comes with an optional diamond-plate ramp that allows workerst o feed and offload it using a hand pallet jack or rolling cart, making it ideal for tight spaces, work cells or anywhere else a forklift can’t be used, according to a company news release.
The LiftMat’s design allows users to load from all four sides without bending or reaching over, making it ergonomically beneficial. The platform can be raised or lowered using a foot switch, a handheld remote button, or a wall-mounted switch.
Southworth will be showcasing the new lift table at the upcoming Modex 2014 trade show, scheduled to be held March 17 to 20 at the Georgia World Congress Center, in Atlanta.
