An essential tool for handlers, the lifting table, as its name suggests, serves to lift heavy loads. Indeed, it is often intended for industrial use. However, the lifting table proves to be an indispensable ally for saving time and optimizing work comfort in a garage or workshop.
This lifting equipment represents an excellent alternative to goods lifts. It indeed allows to:
- move or level parcels and goods (from the ground to a conveyor, a workbench, or a table);
- dismantle or install a car engine.
The lifting table helps to avoid repeated efforts, sources of muscular and joint traumas. This hydraulic platform moves vertically thanks to a scissor system. It reaches the desired height via a manual or electric command activating one or more cylinders. Besides mechanics and handlers, bikers also tend to use a lifting table. The same goes for individuals, knowing that this tool is affordably priced. Moreover, the lifting table is easy to store thanks to its foldable hoop and casters.
Depending on its future use, it is possible to choose between a mobile or static lifting table. The type of motorization is essential. The electric control model is recommended for intensive uses. This fixed lifting tool is composed of the following elements:
- a 3 m control cable;
- a control unit equipped with 3 buttons (down, up, and emergency stop);
- a height adjustment system;
- cylinders with double safety;
- a mechanism equipped with one or several scissors;
- a frame capable of lifting up to 3 T.
Suitable for lighter loads, the manual control lifting table presents the following characteristics:
- 4 casters, 2 of which have brakes;
- a hoop equipped with a lowering lever;
- a pedal operating the lifting pump;
- a work surface covered with non-slip matting;
- a mechanism with single or double scissors reaching a height of 1.6 m;
- a metallic frame with a load capacity between 200 and 500 kg.
Regardless of the model chosen, it is important to be cautious during the device's operation. Activated during the lifting and lowering of loads, the scissor mechanism may cause foot injuries.
