Lift Tables
Lift tables are versatile pieces of equipment designed to raise and lower heavy loads in industrial settings. These tables feature a sturdy platform that can support substantial weights and are operated by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric mechanisms. Lift tables are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and workshops to facilitate the moving of materials and goods to different heights, aiding in ergonomic handling and improving workflow efficiency. They come in various sizes and configurations to suit different needs, from small, portable lift tables to large, stationary ones for heavy-duty lifting tasks. Lift tables are essential equipment for enhancing workplace safety and productivity.
Your Most Common Questions, Answered
1. What are lift tables used for?
Lift tables are used to raise and lower heavy loads safely and efficiently in warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing facilities. They improve workflow by reducing manual lifting and allowing operators to position goods at the right height for packing, assembly, or transport.
2. How does a hydraulic lifting table work?
A hydraulic lifting table uses a scissor mechanism powered by hydraulic fluid pressure. When the pump is activated, hydraulic cylinders extend to raise the platform, and releasing the valve lowers it smoothly. This system allows for controlled, powerful lifting with minimal operator effort.
3. What are the different types of lift tables available?
Common types include manual hydraulic lift tables, electric lift tables, and mobile scissor lift tables. Manual versions use a foot pump, while electric or battery-powered tables provide faster operation and higher lifting capacities for industrial environments.
4. What weight capacities do Dreymar Industrial lift tables support?
Dreymar Industrial supplies lift tables with capacities of 350 kg, 500 kg, and 1000 kg, suitable for a wide range of applications from light assembly tasks to heavy-duty industrial handling.
5. What are the benefits of using a hydraulic lift table?
Hydraulic lift tables improve safety, reduce back strain, and enhance productivity by eliminating repetitive manual lifting. They also promote ergonomic working conditions and increase precision during material handling operations.
6. Are lift tables adjustable to different heights?
Yes, lift tables are designed with adjustable height ranges. This allows users to raise or lower the platform to match the task, whether for loading pallets, aligning workpieces, or transferring items between conveyors.
7. Can hydraulic lift tables be moved around easily?
Yes. Most hydraulic lift tables are equipped with swivel casters and brakes, making them mobile for use across workstations. The combination of portability and stability makes them ideal for dynamic warehouse and factory setups.
8. What industries commonly use lifting tables?
Lift tables are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, automotive, warehousing, and packaging industries. Any operation that requires repetitive lifting, assembly, or height-adjusted work surfaces can benefit from their ergonomic and safety advantages.
9. What safety features are included in Dreymar lift tables?
Safety features include overload protection valves, locking wheels, reinforced scissor frames, and pressure-release systems. These ensure stability and prevent sudden drops during operation.
10. What materials are Dreymar’s lift tables made from?
Our lift tables are constructed from high-strength steel and finished with durable powder coating for corrosion resistance and long service life in industrial environments.
11. Do hydraulic lifts require regular maintenance?
Yes. To ensure reliable operation, hydraulic lift tables should be checked regularly for fluid levels, worn seals, and smooth mechanical movement. Routine maintenance extends lifespan and ensures consistent lifting performance.
12. What should I consider before choosing a lift table?
Key factors include lifting capacity, platform size, height range, mobility needs, and power source. For demanding or high-frequency tasks, an electric or heavy-duty hydraulic model is recommended.
13. Are lift tables suitable for precision workstations?
Absolutely. Hydraulic lift tables provide controlled elevation adjustments, making them perfect for precision assembly, inspection, and packaging applications that require stable, level platforms.
14. Can Dreymar Industrial’s lift tables be customised or exported?
Yes. Dreymar Industrial offers SADC-certified export capability, supplying lift tables across South Africa and neighbouring countries. Custom specifications can also be arranged for unique industrial requirements.
