Materials handling equipment has become essential in a number of common manufacturing and assembly applications like welding, fastening, wiring, grinding, finishing, testing, and repair.

By positioning items at a comfortable level, workers can be more productive. In addition to vertical work positioning, tilters play an important role allowing work to be positioned at a comfortable working angle as well.

While baskets, totes and gaylords are a convenient method of parts storage and transport, they can be a real pain for workers.  Accessing parts requires bending, stretching and awkward lifting which can lead to fatigue or injury.

The solution is to present the parts to the worker for easy access. For large/tall baskets that means tilting. For large/short baskets that means lifting (and possibly tilting too).

Feeding panels and sheets is a common task in a number industries including metalworking, woodworking and graphics arts.

Large sheets, even when not particularly heavy, are difficult for one worker to handle by themselves. 

A properly sized scissor lift table or tilter often allows a the job to be done faster and more easily by a single worker resulting in improved productivity.

Whether it's grinding, welding, bending, drilling, machining or any other metalworking job, positioning the work at a comfortable and convenient height makes the job easier.

LiftCOA Lift Tables are ideal for metalworking. They can be equipped with a variety of standard options like turntables, tilt tops and even special fixtures to suit any need.

By incorporating materials handling equipment into the process, woodworkers can concentrate on their craft. Whether it's a fully automated manufacturing process for knock-down furniture, or a one man cabinet shop, LiftCOA can help woodworkers produce quality product with less effort.

Moving loads from one location to another doesn't have to mean getting a forklift and trained driver. Whether it's just a few feet or across the plant, LiftCOA offers products to move pallets and skids, as well as non-uniform loads like workpieces and assemblies. And, unlike a forklift many of these products can also be used as adjustable height workstations once the load gets where it needs to go.
