For moving heavy 1,000 lb to 6,000 lb loads between work cells, moving work-in-process, adjusting operator ergonomic work heights and more, Electric Hydraulic or Manually Operated Portable Scissor Lifts from Verti-Lift provide the flexibility of a scissor lift with the portability of an adjustable work platform to enhance ergonomics.
For large or long part handling of oil production equipment, extra-long storage racks or any oversized production items, heavy duty tandem scissor lifts from Verti-Lift offer lift capacities to 6,000 lb and platform sizes up to 48 in x 220 in, with up to 70 in of lift.
For areas with no forklift access, tight areas where forklifts are impractical, and for shops that have adopted forklift-free safe work areas, electronically actuated or manually operated Zero Pan Tilters from Verti-Lift can be loaded or unloaded at ground level with a simple pallet jack or pallet truck at floor level to eliminate bending and lifting and the inherent injuries associated with them.

Portable Scissor Lifts from Verti-Lift, Inc. (Louisville, KY) provide ergonomic lifting wherever needed within job shops, metal service centers, contract manufacturing shops, OEMs or other fabrication plants.  They are just right for moving heavy loads between work cells, moving work-in-process, adjusting operator ergonomic work heights, and more. Available as Electric Hydraulic with push-button hand pendant or Manually Operated with foot, these units provide the flexibility of a scissor lift with the portability of an adjustable work platform to enhance ergonomics. These lifts feature heavy duty cylinders, lifetime lubricated bearings, safety maintenance blocks, and either foot brake or locking wheels. Hydraulic units can be either electric, with internal power unit, or provided with 24V DC battery-powered power unit.

With 24 in, 36 in, or 48 in travel and load capacities from 1,000 lb to 6,000 lb, these Portable Scissor Lifts can be fitted with various sized platforms, turn tables, or conveyors to suit virtually any in-plant material handling requirement.

Verti-Lift also provides heavy duty tandem scissor lifts for large or long part handling applications. With a longer length platform, these lift tables meet the application needs of metalworking operations where materials of greater length are being handled. These proven positioners are available with lift capacities to 6,000 lb and platform sizes up to 48 in x 220 in, with up to 70 in of lift available. They can also be fabricated as custom units when larger platform size and/or capacity is necessary. A great fit for facilities handling longer components than standard scissor lifts, such as oil production equipment, extra-long storage racks or any oversized production items. They include internal power units, heavy duty cylinders, safety maintenance blocks, standard hand control, lifetime lubricated bushings, and heavy duty legs (tubular legs on SL60 models), to provide a long, trouble-free service life.

Many options available to match the scissors lift to the task at hand including accordion skirting, platforms with beveled edges, pit mounted units, portability packages, PLC control, foot pedal control, fork pockets (up to certain lengths), external power modules, and more.

Verti-Lift also offers Zero Pan Tilters that can be loaded or unloaded at ground level to eliminate the need for a forklift while improving ergonomics and eliminating bending and lifting and the inherent injuries associated with them. Zero Pan Tilters are ideal for areas with no forklift access, tight areas where forklifts are impractical, and for shops that have adopted forklift-free safe work areas. These electronically actuated or manually operated devices are available in several sizes, with capacities of 2,000 lb/4,000 lb and zero to 90 deg of tilt. They can be loaded or unloaded with a simple pallet jack or pallet truck at floor level, without the need for a forklift. Ground level access allows better access to product being loaded or unloaded. Tilt height is set at standard ideal ergonomic height to bring product to operator ergonomically, while reducing or eliminating bending and possible work-related injuries associated with lifting and repetitive movement. All of these lifts are made in the U.S. and available from distributors nationwide.
