Product overview
Pallet lifter – ergonomic lifting and positioning solution
The pallet lifter consists of a stable frame with vertical travel, on which pallets can easily be raised and lowered to the required working height:
- Operating principle:
- The pallet is placed on the lifting platform
- An electric, pneumatic or hydraulic drive brings the pallet to working height
- If required, the pallet can be tilted for better access
- The operator can load, unload or process products without bending
This creates a safer workplace and a more efficient handling flow.
Key features
- Ergonomic design: prevents physical strain and lifting injuries
- Accurate positioning: adjustable lifting heights for optimum workflows
- Compatible with standard pallets: suitable for different sizes
- Robust construction: industrial use, long service life
- Simple operation: manual, electric or pneumatic
- Compact footprint: fits into existing production environments
