New Brochure Describes Equipment For Lifting And Positioning
PORTLAND, ME - A new 16-page brochure from Southworth Products Corp describes the material handling industry's broadest and most comprehensive line of lifting and positioning equipment. Entitled "Making Work Faster, Safer, and Easier with Lifting, Positioning and Transporting Products," the full-color brochure shows models in various product lines, such as Work Positioning Tables, Special Use Lift Tables, Container Tilters, Pallet Handling Equipment, and Portable Lifts.
Southworth Work Positioning Tables facilitate machine feeding and offloading, product assembly, and many other operations in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution facilities. More than one million variations are available, including pneumatic models, stainless steel models, and models with conveyor tops, turntables, tilt tops, and other options. All models offer vertical adjustment to an infinite number of positions within the table's working range, to eliminate lifting, bending, and reaching.
Southworth Special Use Lift Tables offer increased load capacities, extra-long or extra-wide platforms, extended vertical travel, and other features for heavy-duty work and other specialized applications.
Southworth Container Tilters position wire baskets and other containers so that parts are easily accessible. Some models offer independent lift control in addition to tilt control. Many models are portable, allowing the operator to pick up staged containers and move them to workstations.
Southworth Pallet Handling Equipment allows workers to build and break down pallet loads quickly and easily, while avoiding injury. This product line includes PalletPal® level loaders, stretch wrappers, pallet rotators/skid turners, models with built-in turntables, and roll-on units for use with hand pallet trucks.
Southworth Portable Lifts economically raise, lower, and transport equipment and supplies. Manual and powered models roll into tight spaces that are inaccessible to forklifts or pallet trucks, bringing safe, fatigue-reducing handling well within the budget requirements of any plant, stockroom, warehouse, or office. Lifting is accomplished with a button or foot pedal.
The brochure also contains information on custom lifts. These include Coil Cars, Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors, Dock Lifts, Roll Handling Tables, and Container Unloaders.
Founded in 1890, Southworth is the world's leading designer and manufacturer of vertical movement and positioning equipment and the industry's leading innovator. Southworth equipment is built with standard features that provide reliability, durability, safety, and ease of use, such as lubricated-for-life bearings, heavy-duty hoses and torque tubes, safety chocks, toe guards, and cushioned table edges.
Southworth consistently applies practical ergonomics to its product designs, to reduce worker fatigue and lower the risk of on-the-job injuries. Decades of experience have proven that the resulting gains in productivity often amount to full payback of equipment costs in less than one year. All equipment described in the brochure is available through a national network of highly trained distributors who can help the customer choose equipment that is perfectly matched to a particular application.
