Lift Table Solution For The Printing Industry

Lift Table Application:

This printing operation loads pallets of rolled printed product. The loads can range from several hundred to over one thousand pounds. The loaded pallets are removed and transported by pallet jack to the shipping area.

Problem:

The operators handle of a wide range of size and weight of printed product in this area. The area for staging and loading the pallets is very cramped. Lifting, bending, stretching and reaching to position printed materials of various size and weights on the pallet takes a physical toll on line operators. The tight space conditions add to the frustration not allowing the operators to work efficiently. Lift trucks are prohibited access to this work area for safety reasons as the area is very congested with product.

Solution:

Bishamon EZOFF lifters are positioned in the pallet building areas. The empty pallets are placed on the raised EZOFF Lifter. The lift can be lowered as the printed rolls are loaded to accommodate the workers comfort level. In addition the operator can rotate the platform to position the lift for loading thereby eliminating reaching across the load or walking around the lift to place product on the pallet. The result is less bending, reaching and stretching, reduced fatigue and improved productivity.
