Lift Type
Back to Top
|
| ||
| Lift Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aerial / Boom Lift | Aerial or boom lifts allow personnel to work in high places. These lifts are used in applications such as ceiling welding and elevated wire installation and repair. | ||
| Dock Lift | Dock lifts raise and lower loads and personnel in loading dock areas. | ||
| Drum Lift | Drum lifts are used to raise, lower and tilt drums to heights for working or storage activities. | ||
| Forklift | Forklifts are used to lift loads on pallets for working, storage, height positioning, or loading and unloading. This category includes automated and motorized forklifts. | ||
| Manipulator / Lifter | Manipulators are used to move or position materials or products. Attachments can include standard hooks, electromagnets, core grips, pneumatic clamps and vacuum pads. | ||
| Pallet Jack | Pallet trucks or pallet jacks are carts or trucks with forks that engage pallet slots. | ||
| Personnel Lift | Personnel lifts are used to raise and lower personnel to heights for working or storage activities. | ||
| Sideloader | A sideloader is a type forklift specially designed with the lifting forks perpendicular to the drive direction. They are balanced to lift and maneuver long loads. | ||
| Platform Lift | Cart or truck with a low platform and integral lifting function. | ||
| Robotic Manipulator | Robotic manipulators are programmable, multifunctional devices that are designed to move parts, materials or tools through programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks. | ||
| Stacker / Walkie | Stackers or walkies are movable lifting devices with a high level of maneuverability. They are a lighter-duty version of a forklift. Typically, stackers are used internally for storing and retrieving palletized loads. | ||
| Table Lift / Positioner | Table lifts are used to raise and position workpieces for ergonomic access. They are used for material or load positioning, or lifting. | ||
| Truck Lift Gate | Truck lift gates are designed to load trucks. They typically mount onto or near the back or bed of a truck and can lift a load up to or above the bed's surface. | ||
| Truck Mounted | Lifts are mounted or mountable onto the back or bed of a utility truck. This category includes total truck-included packages as well as lifts that are sold independently for mounting on trucks. | ||
| Vehicle / Service Lift | Vehicle or service lifts raise and lower vehicles for service, assembly, or storage purposes. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lift styles. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Lift Mechanism | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Scissor Lift | Scissor lifts use linked, folding, support members. Lifting action occurs when members are drawn together, typically with a screw mechanism. | ||
| Screw Lift | Screw lifts employ the mechanical advantage of threads to lift the workpiece vertically. | ||
| Rack & Pinion | With rack and pinion lift mechanisms, a small drive-gear (pinion) drives a straight-toothed rack to lift the load. | ||
| Telescoping Lift | Telescoping lifts have a lift mechanism with multiple sections that retract and extend into and out of each other. | ||
| Articulated Lift | Articulated lifts are multiple-section mechanisms that unfold or articulate to lift a platform or bucket. Cherry pickers are often articulated lifts. | ||
| Lift Chain | Lift chains use a lift chain and sprocket. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lifting mechanisms. | ||
| Search Logic: | Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Lift Drive / Actuation | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Hand | Lifts are driven by a hand crank or screw drive. | ||
| Foot | Lifts are driven by foot pumping or ratcheting. | ||
| Air / Pneumatic | Air cylinders or motors provide lifting action. | ||
| Hydraulic | Lifts are driven by an external hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor. | ||
| Electric Motor | Lifts have an electric motor for automated driving. The lift usually employs a screw or screw/scissor combination. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary actuation methods. | ||

Features

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Counterbalance | Counterbalance prevents the lift from overturning without using legs or supports under the load. | ||
| Hand / Safety Rails | Hand or safety rails are used for personnel safety, or to prevent the load from falling or sliding off the lift. | ||
| Narrow Aisle | Equipment is designed for size and maneuverability within narrow aisles. | ||
| Protected Cab | The rider or driver uses a protected cab. | ||
| Rotating | A rotating element such as a turntable is used with the table or platform. | ||
| Rough Terrain | Lifts are designed for use in rough terrain. Typical applications include agriculture, logging and construction. | ||
| Tilting | The lift table or platform tilts or inclines. | ||

| |||
| Wheel Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Pneumatic | Air-inflated tires can provide greater load-cushioning and drive traction than cushion tires. | ||
| Solid / Cushion | Solid or cushion tires are functional alternatives to other types of tires. They do not puncture and require less maintenance than pneumatic tires. Construction provides some cushioning features; however, solid or cushion tires offer less shock absorption than pneumatic tires. | ||
| Track Wheel | The wheel has a flange or a formed V on the wheel for riding on and alignment to a track. | ||
| Other | Other tire configurations not covered explicitly by pneumatic or solid / cushion choices. | ||
