A hydraulic lift table is essential for warehouses

Hydraulic lift tables are an essential piece of industrial equipment for many warehouses and manufacturing facilities, and getting a dependable one that will withstand the rigors of frequent and heavy use can save aggravation and lost productivity, down the road.

When choosing a hydraulic lift table, three factors to consider are weight capacity, the dimensions of the lifting surface, and brand. There are several reputable hydraulic lift table manufacturers which offer a wide selection of sizes and weight capacities. Predictably, there's a close correlation between weight capacity and price, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand pounds. Shipping weight will also be a factor in the overall cost of the unit, especially with the larger units, which can be very heavy.

Well-made hydraulic lift tables are generally constructed of steel and have a durable enamel finish. The hydraulic jacks are operated either by hand or foot, although the foot operated option is more common.
