What Is a Pneumatic Lift Table?
Every busy facility can benefit from assistive technology to help lighten the load. Lift tables are ergonomically designed to assist frontline workers in the manufacturing process. Along with enhancing safety, lift tables save time and energy to help increase productivity. A pneumatic lift table is a popular choice among many manufacturers across North America, and for good reason.
What Is the Definition of a Pneumatic Lift Table?
A lift table is a mechanism that uses scissor legs to raise and lower a platform containing people and/or materials. The platform is supported by a sturdy base that can often hold a substantial amount of weight. Pneumatic lift tables are powered by an air compressor that exerts force on the scissor legs, thereby lifting the platform to the desired height.
What Are the Benefits of a Pneumatic Lift Table?
Like all lift tables, pneumatic lift tables assist workers by reducing the need for repetitive movements such as bending, stretching, pulling, pushing, and lifting. This translates into fewer workplace injuries and greater presenteeism. The use of lift tables in a factory also elevates production speed, which helps to lower operating costs and increase overall profit. But what makes the pneumatic lift table design such a great choice? A pneumatic lift table has several advantages to warrant its recommendation.
- Green Product: Pneumatic power is clean and green. No electricity is required to operate a pneumatic lift table. As a result, pneumatic lift tables are safe to use in a variety of different settings and applications, including in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
- Easy Access: Not only are pneumatic lift tables simple to install and maintain, but they are easy to operate as well. Without the need for on-site electricity, a pneumatic lift table can function in multiple locations, including the great outdoors.
- Cost Effective: In addition to increasing profit through enhanced productivity, pneumatic lift tables are less expensive than similar options, such as hydraulic lift tables. A pneumatic lift table essentially pays for itself over time thanks to long-term cost savings.
- Safety Conscious: Because pneumatic lift tables are powered by an air compressor, they are safer for both the environment and individual workers. The choice of a pneumatic lift table eliminates any possible exposure to hydraulic fluids and the risk of environmental contamination.
- Reliability: A pneumatic lift table is a reliable device. It can accommodate many different applications and requires very little effort to maintain or repair. The design of the pneumatic lift table allows it to withstand extreme weather and other environmental conditions.
