RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Before putting the portable lift table into service, make a record describing its appearance. Thoroughly
photograph the lift table from multiple angles. Include photos of all welds, all pivot points, the points of attachment
of both ends of the hydraulic cylinder, the rollers at both ends of each scissor leg, and all labeling applied to it.
Describe where each label is located. Take close range photographs of the components of the electric-hydraulic
power unit. Collect all photographs and writings into a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This record
documents satisfactory condition. Compare the results of future inspections to this record to determine if the lift
table is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the lift table unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic
changes, like damaged paint or powder coat, do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However,
touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs
.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Acquire a copy of the most recent revision of ANSI standard MH29.1. Pay particular attention to Section 12,
which provides owner/user responsibilities for the operation, care, and maintenance of this device. Safe operation
of this device is the
operator’s
responsibility. Operators must be knowledgeable about, and observe, the safety
rules and practices provided in this section.
Standard models are suitable for indoor use in most non-classified industrial locations as well as many
commercial locations. Only lift stable, evenly-distributed, nonhazardous loads having a size or footprint
approximately the same size as, or smaller than, the platform.
The following diagram identifies major components of your portable scissor lift table.
Loading the platform.
The load rating (in pounds and kilograms) is provided on the machine data plate or label 287 (see
p. 11
) located on the hinged end of the platform. This indicates the net capacity of the scissor lift
table for a static load, centered and evenly distributed on the platform. For off-center loads, the lift table’s
maximum capacity is 75% of the rated capacity for end loading (either end), and 50% for side loading (either side)
(see diagrams).
DO NOT exceed the load ratings. Personal injuries or permanent damage to the unit might result if
the capacity of your unit is exceeded. Note: Take into account the weight of any equipment added to
the platform by third parties when determining the maximum working load to be placed on the
platform.
The platform rollers are not captured. DO NOT overhang any load over the side of the platform. A
cantilevered or overhanging load at the hinged end can cause the platform to tilt and dump the load.
For applications involving side or end edge loading, contact
This lift table is not approved for lifting personnel. Only use the table as a material handling device.
