better ergonomics with lift tables
Caring for your employees starts with providing a safe and ergonomic work environment. By integrating a lift table into your workspace, you can significantly enhance ergonomics, reducing the risk of injuries caused by overexertion or incorrect lifting techniques. Lift tables allow work surfaces to be adjusted to the ideal height for each task, ensuring that employees can work comfortably and efficiently.
This not only reduces common workplace injuries but also promotes a healthier and more productive workforce.
Maintenance and repairs
An electro-hydraulic scissor lift table has a long lifetime when used correctly and serviced periodically. Investing in a service contract may save you the cost of a new lift table. There are safety and maintenance precautions that need to be taken care of daily, monthly, and yearly. Some points can be covered internally in your organization, while others require assistance from a specialist.
Please consult the Operation & Maintenance manual supplied with your lift table for detailed maintenance information. You should always keep a log in the table’s specific manual about all maintenance and repair work done on the lift table.
Safety precautions when servicing the lift table
1. Precaution
Before performing any maintenance, ensure the following steps are taken
2. Preparing for maintenance
Never reach or enter under the lift table before it is securely locked in place with the maintenance safety pawls.
3. Raise the Lift Table
Use the white "up" button to raise the lift table. You only need to lift it high enough to position the maintenance safety pawls.
4. Lower the Lift Table
Use the black "down" button to lower the lift table’s full weight onto the maintenance safety pawls.
5. When Working on Hydraulics:
Once the lift table is resting on the maintenance safety pawls, press the black "down" button for an additional 20 seconds to release pressure from the hydraulic system.
6. When Working on the System
Once the lift table is resting on the maintenance safety pawls, disconnect it from the main power supply.
After completing maintenance, test the lift table using the hand controller before removing the maintenance safety pawls.
