1. Lift tables
Lift tables are devices used to lift loads placed on a platform whose vertical movement is guided throughout its travel. Their structure is composed of a load-bearing platform, a lifting system including the pushing device, and a lower frame serving as a support base for the whole assembly.
In certain specific cases of use, the presence on the lifting platform, during lifting or lowering, of people directly involved in moving the load is authorized.
Suitable for all types of loads, these versatile devices can be used for a wide range of applications throughout the supply chain:

workstation upgrades: manufacturing, packaging, assembly, palletizing ;
machine auxiliaries:...
