Lift and Tilt Tables Rotate

Material Tilt Lift Table

 The most prominent workplace safety challenge in this country is the prevention of back injuries. Costing industries to the tune of billions of dollars every year, these injuries make up one-fourth of all employee compensation claims and bring pain and anguish to around one million workers each year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While OSHA recognizes that total elimination of back injuries is a challenging target to reach, a significant amount of these occurrences can be prevented through an “effective control program and ergonomic design of work tasks.”

One such way is the suggested use of mechanical aids such as pneumatic lifts, conveyors or any equipment that can automate the handling of industrial or commercial materials. Most industrial Tilt Tables are designed to minimize worker fatigue and injuries by placing work materials within ergonomically proper reach of personnel. The installation of this equipment can dramatically reduce repetitive stress injuries while also increasing worker output.

Types of Lift and Tilt Tables

Lift and tilt tables can be produced in a variety of configurations that include single scissor lift, slide deck, or hydraulic cylinder designs. They can be powered air and electrical hydraulics, mechanical air systems, or even manually by a worker. While some are designed to rest on the factory floor, smaller tilters can be attached to work benches, table tops and even mobile lift tables for easy positioning. Most lift and tilt tables rotate and are constructed from heavy duty steel in order to endure a high frequency of lifting high capacity payloads such as pallets, crates and baskets full of heavy materials. The right lift and tilt table can be found for just about any workshop or factory floor plan.

Hydraulic Tilt Tables

Hydraulic Tilt Table

The Beacon BHTT series is heavy duty in design and can handle load capacities of a whopping six thousand pounds. The smooth steel top platform is available in sizes up to 120-inches square. Lifetime self-lubricating, anti-friction bearings sit on all pivot points of the unit to not only provide smooth operation, but allow companies to get full, uninterrupted use over the life of the product. Anchor grab claws or chains can also be provided to keep payloads from shifting and possibly injuring operating personnel.

The electric hydraulic tilt table systems in this unit are powered by a motor pump reservoir. This works an internal, high pressure gear pump complete with a check valve, relief valve, pressure compensated flow control valve, as well as suction and return filters that make this a highly efficient, ergonomic piece of equipment for any work station.

Lift and tilt tables provide cost-effective health and safety benefits for employers through enhanced and consistent productivity, reduction in training replacement works and limiting liability. Cutting the risks of manual handling of materials can also be a boon for workers who are often exposed to the possibility of injury or ill health.
