April 30, 2012, 5:29 pm - Pentalift supplies triple scissor hydraulic lift table and upender system
Globally know manufacturer of off road construction equipment required two 25,000 hydraulic upenders complete with two work access lifts. Installed in a foundry application this integrated system is designed to provide access to the components being positioned on the upender. The crane operator is located on the work access lift platform, as the individual sections are placed on the upender the lift raises providing the crane operator clear view of the next step of the process. Once fully loaded the individual sections are bolted together, the upender lowers 90 degrees and the complete assembly is removed in the horizontal position by an overhead crane. The upenders have a 5’x 6’ base, 10’ high. The work access lifts provide 12’ of vertical travel and the operator is fully protected by guard railing and interlocked gates. A common control panel installed on the work access lift permits the operator to conveniently control both the upender and the lift from one central location.
March 20, 2012, 8:18 pm - Pentalift Equipment Corporation Designs and Manufactures Portable Lift Table with Rotating Top for Aerospace Manufacturer
When a manufacturer of Aerospace composites required an application designed lift to suit a unique application in their manufacturing process they approached Pentalift Equipment Corporation. The 1,000 lb capacity lift table had to be fully portable, include a rotating top with a section of conveyor to facilitate product placement and also feature a comparatively low closed height. To achieve the low height the design incorporated a low profile portability package; the lift table frame is slung low with outboard casters to achieve this prerequisite. Phenolic casters were chosen for ease of mobility. The on board DC power unit and charging station provided complete mobility anywhere within the facility.
February 27, 2012, 8:35 pm - Pentalift Equipment Corporation designs and manufactures custom designed galvanized hydraulic lift tables
One of North Americas most recognized food processing companies required a group of 3 scissor lifts to work in co-ordination in one of their poultry plants. These 3 lifts are approximately 3’ wide, 28’ long and rise to a height of approximately 16’. Due to the extreme operating environment these lifts were hot dip galvanized, designed with high duty cycle components and a central grease lubrication system. The central grease system allows the entire lift to be lubricated from one conveniently located manifold eliminating the need to go under the platform. For additional safety each of the lifts was equipped with toe sensors and a hydraulic velocity. Powered by a 10 hp power unit the lift and lowering speed were designed to suit the application requirements.
