Published: 08/31/2021

If your project has struggled to get off the ground, maybe it’s time to rethink your material handling lift strategy. For example, the right lift system can be the difference between a successful and unsuccessful project. Here are some areas of material handling that our lifts and years of experience can help you solve.

Assembly

To be successful in your operations, you need systems put in place to set your assembly line up for success. Here are some examples of material handling lifts created at Autoquip to assist some of your assembly needs:

  • Fuselage Positioning Lifts
  • Jet Engine Assembly Lifts
  • End-of-Line Truck Lifts
  • Conveyor Transfer Lines
  • Work Platform Lifts
  • Cabinet Assembly Tables

Let us help you tackle the two biggest areas of concern for your assembly line: productivity and worker safety. We accomplish this by developing lift systems that fit the needs of your assembly line and provide the safety features that are most important to you. Not only does this keep your workers safe, but it will also make your lift systems easily accessible. 

Automation

Companies with a strong focus on manufacturing, inventory, and shipping are relying on automation to be more productive. Automation can bring its own unique set of challenges when you are integrating with existing legacy systems. Autoquip has experience incorporating control systems with our lifts to help integrate automation into your existing processes.  

  • Integration of Freight Lift with Conveyor System
  • Automating Controls to Perform Lift System Functionality
  • High Cycle Automation of 2-Post Mechanical Freight Lifts
  • Synchronizing Your Work Platforms
  • Traversing Your Work Platform Lift

High Travel

Applications requiring an elevated work platform can be dangerous for everybody involved. These applications will benefit greatly from one of Autoquip’s high travel lifts. High travel lifts are designed to safely reach out-of-reach places often used in maintenance, inspection, and warehousing. Some of our solutions designed to help with high travel needs include:

  • High travel 4-post mechanical freight lift
  • Fixed rail elevating work platform
  • Quad scissor lift tables
  • Vertical ram lift (VRL)
  • High travel personnel work platform lifts
  • Inspection lift

Docks

Activity at the dock can be hectic.  Timing is critical to unload and load trucks to keep your operations running smoothly.  The right equipment can help you increase safety and efficiency at the loading dock.  

  • Truck Levelers
  • Loading Dock Lifts
  • Tank Loading Platform
  • Air Cargo Container Lifts
  • Semi-trailer Lifts For Stadium Deliveries
  • Portable Dock Lift

Precision Positioning

As precision positioning technology has advanced in recent years, its positive impact on productivity and product quality has never been more apparent. For example, when a lift meets with another system to perform a task, it requires precise positioning. At Autoquip, we develop mechanical or hydraulic lift systems that are controlled by programmable controllers to help achieve the exact positioning you need. 

  • Modular Home Lifting Systems
  • Satellite Positioning Table
  • Robotic Welding Positioning Turntable
  • Programmable Lift For Sheet Metal Processing
  • Sheet Blanking Turntable
  • Programmable Over-Under Conveyor Lift

Other Applications

We’re only scratching the surface! Autoquip lift systems can help with a wide range of material handling issues. Some other applications include:

  • Bin And Basket
  • Coil Handling
  • Hazardous Environment
  • High Capacity
  • Mezzanine
  • Mobility
  • Pallet Handling
  • Sheet Handling
  • Tilt
  • Warehouse Storage
  • Wash Down
  • Work Platforms
