April 3, 2009, Newsletter Issue #160: "Low Profile"--Eliminating Back Strain and Adding Efficiency

Tip of the Week

Some portable lifts are solutions similar to a hand-truck or a dolly but with much higher capacities and better load centers. If you need a portable lift that can handle 500 pounds and has a large platform, it's better to invest in a low profile load lift portable sytle than to make do with a dolly or a hand truck not rated to carry the load properly.

The lowered height on many of these low profile units is only a quarter of an inch, and is adjustable with either a hand crank or foot pump depending on the model. These versatile units are much more suited to certain kinds of lifting which a dolly won't be appropriate for. These portable lifts are designed to cut down on lifting and can load material from the ground making life much easier on the backs of your workers.
