Pentalift Equipment: Custom engineered U-shaped work platform

Custom engineered for a contract service provider of sterilization with gamma irradiation, a U-shaped work platform by Pentalift operates in conjunction with a pallet lift.

Fitted with accordion bellows, the lift table includes a powered sliding bridge that measures 36 x 11 inches at the closed end. For safety, a custom interlock prevents the bridge’s operation until it has cleared the height of the conveyor; it also prohibits the work platform from lowering below the height of the conveyor unless the powered bridge is fully retracted.

Capable of lifting 1,000-pound loads, the lift 10 x 12-foot lift platform rises up 6 feet. The system’s double scissor lift measures 4 x 6 feet, and lifts 2,500-pound loads up to 8.5 feet. Operation of all components is controlled by a panel attached to a post on the work platform.
