Lift Table Terminology

Mobile lift tables can be very useful items at your place of work. That's because they can be moved from work station to work station to raise and position your work for ergonomic access. Before shopping for a lift table or mobile lift table, here's a brush up on lift table terminology, courtesy of globalspec.com:
  • Lift capacity: the maximum force or load supported by the lift
  • Vertical lift travel: describes the difference between fully lowered and fully raised lift positions
  • Platform width: the narrow dimension of the lift platform
  • Platform length: the long dimension of the lift platform
  • Actuation method: lift tables may be actuated by hand cranks, screw drives, foot pumping and ratcheting, pneumatic air cylinders and air motors, hydraulic cylinders and motors, or electrical motors
