Lift Tables | Heavy-Duty Vertical Lifting for Loading Dock Efficiency

Wilcox Door Service Inc. supplies high-capacity lift tables designed to streamline vertical material handling at loading docks. These durable platforms act as freight elevators, enabling safe, efficient movement of forklifts and heavy loads between dock levels and facility floors.

Lift Table Solutions for Safe, Reliable Vertical Material Movement

At Wilcox Door Service Inc., we provide high-capacity lift tables designed to facilitate the movement of forklifts, palletized goods, and heavy materials between dock levels and building floors. These stationary, high-capacity lift platforms act as freight elevators, ensuring seamless material handling and improving operational efficiency in warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities.

Lift tables are engineered for loading dock applications where traditional ramps or dock levelers are insufficient, offering a reliable solution for efficient vertical material transfer.

Benefits of Lift Tables

Lift tables improve material handling by providing stable vertical lifting, reducing forklift risk, and optimizing warehouse efficiency.

1. Efficient Vertical Material Handling

  • Functions as an elevator for forklifts and material loads.
  • Eliminates the need for ramps by raising forklifts and materials to the required height.
  • Allows seamless access between different dock heights and facility floors.

2. Heavy-Duty Load Capacity & Stability

  • Designed to handle high-capacity loads ranging from 6,000 lbs to 20,000+ lbs.
  • Reinforced steel platforms ensure maximum durability and safety.
  • Stable, stationary design allows for safe forklift operations on elevated surfaces.

3. Improved Loading Dock Safety

  • Reduces risks associated with uneven loading surfaces and improper forklift angles.
  • Minimizes accidents caused by excessive incline angles on ramps.
  • Enhances workplace safety by providing a stable, level lifting surface.

4. Smooth Hydraulic Operation

  • Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders ensure smooth and controlled lifting.
  • Push-button controls for effortless height adjustments.
  • Reliable power unit system designed for frequent heavy-duty use.

5. Space-Saving, Fixed Installation

  • Stationary installation eliminates the need for bulky ramps or inclines.
  • Can be customized for different dock heights and facility requirements.
  • Optimizes warehouse layout by maximizing dock efficiency.
