Ergonomic Lifts

In some manufacturing and distribution applications, many heavy or bulky items require handling methods other than manual lifting. When performing these tasks manually, workers face the dangers of muscle strain and other potential health hazards. Instead of risking damage or injury when handling these objects, more of today’s companies turn to ergonomic lift assist systems.

At King Materials Handling, we understand the need to ensure employee safety while maintaining the highest production levels. That’s why we offer some of the highest-quality and most reliable ergonomic lifts from some of the most trusted manufacturers in the industry. Our team can help you find the ideal solution for your operation, regardless of the material types you handle.

Types of Ergonomic Lifters We Offer

Ergonomic lifters come in an extensive range of designs and can include assorted attachments to increase versatility. These systems can rotate, tilt and maneuver materials in any direction. Our ergonomic lifts are customizable to handle a broad range of materials, including sheet metal, plywood, stone slabs, rolls, boxes and castings.

Some examples of the types of ergonomic lift systems we sell are:

• Vertical lift tables: These are among the most common devices for fundamental lifting tasks and can include models using hydraulics, pneumatics or electric power for operation.
• Scissor lifts: Scissor lifts work well in tight spaces where materials require transport to higher than usual elevations.
• Tilt tables: These devices allow workers to adjust an object’s angle for maneuverability without bending, kneeling or reaching.
• Stationary dumpers: Dumpers are ideal for automatically unloading bulk bins or large containers.
• Pallet inverters: Pallet inverters rotate entire unit loads, allowing workers to transfer stacked materials from pallet to pallet without breaking down the existing unit.
• Cart lifters: Cart lifters work well to elevate a material cart in production or assist in manual dumping applications for lighter loads.
• Turntables: Turntables rotate materials or containers along a production line, while many have lift options to ease maneuverability between heights.
