Buy lift tables from suppliers that cater to your needs

There are hundreds of uses for industrial lift tables, so find the manufacturer or supplier that fits your specific application.

I recommend: For smaller or mobile lift tables and some heavier-duty lifts, go to L.K. Goodwin Company. They carry a nice line of portable lift tables and high risers as well. For the lifts that do the most tricks, as well as for custom products, Lift Products, Inc. is a good choice.

Keep your workers safe with the appropriate lift tables

A lift table can prevent any number of injuries over the course of its life. They are durable, low maintenance back savers. Take a good look at your procedures and incorporate an industrial lift table wherever appropriate. However, you must choose lift tables suited to the task. This means you should consider the size of the load, such that the entire load fits easily within the special limits of the table. It also means paying close attention to the weight limit for each lift table.

I recommend: Inc.com provides a nice update on how important it is for a business to keep a clean safety record. Pentalift does a nice job of providing plenty of information along with their products, including an FAQ, so it may be another source of inspiration.

Fix your lifting tables

Industrial lift tables are, overall, quite durable. If you purchase your lift table from a quality manufacturer, you will likely get years of low-maintenance use. However, lift tables work hard and can break.

I recommend: One option is to buy from Northern. They provide coverage plans that include on-site service for their products. On the other hand, Advance Lifts will provide a list of repair shops in your area. Keep in mind, though, that lift tables are relatively uncomplicated; general industrial repair companies can usually repair them.
