Five ways to work better
Pick the job. We have the lift.
Vertical Lifting
Raise materials and people to the right height, from light mobile units to heavy stationary lifts.
Work Positioning
Bring the work to the worker: lift, tilt and turn loads into the comfort zone.
Pallet Handling
Keep every pallet layer at a workable height while it is loaded and unloaded.
Load Transporting
Move heavy or bulky loads across the floor safely, then lift them to height.
Container Access
Tilt and position bins, boxes and gaylords so the bottom is in easy reach.

Lift Lab
See how much bending a PalletPal saves.
Set the operator height and the pallet layers left. The PalletPal holds the top layer in the work zone; switch it off to see the bend.
Estimate only: elbow height taken as about 63% of stature, light work zone 4 to 8 in below the elbow (general ergonomic guidance). Your specialist confirms the right model.
