Custom Lift Tables Solve Outboard Motor Manufacturer's Material Handling Issues
A major outboard motor manufacturer purchased a Self Propelled Max-Lift Table by Lift Products, Inc. to solve a material handling problem. They had tried to place 54" long molds on a conveyor system using a walkie counter-balanced lift truck. The truck was 72" long, plus load, making it difficult to see and almost impossible to maneuver. In addition they had to slide the molds off forks adding to these length problems. The Max-Lift Self Propelled Lift Table was almost 3 feet shorter and had a gravity conveyor on it allowing the molds to be rolled on to the stationary conveyor. This allowed them a safer, more ergonomic, more maneuverable solution providing increased productivity.
Custom Tilt Table Solves Ergonomic Problem
A manufacturer of control cabinets submitted his ergonomic problem to Lift Products, Inc. The control cabinets he builds are over 6 feet tall with much of the work located at the base of the unit. The cabinets are on wheels.
The solution is a custom Max-Tilt Table with forks. The table was built with an offset platform so when the table is tilted 90 degrees the forks are a few inches from the ground. This allows the operator to push the cabinet base over the forks. The table, which has a raised platform, tilts the cabinet on its side at 24" elevation allowing easy ergonomic access to the work to be performed. Lift Products builds a large variety of tilters and upenders in both standard and custom designs.
