Surface-mount dock lift requires no pit

Southworth Products Corp. offers SMDDL surface-mount scissor dock lifts that require no pit, making them suitable for leased or temporary buildings. With a lowered height of 5 in. and a raised height of 58 in., the lifts can access loads on truck beds of any height and transfer them to a fixed-height loading dock or to grade level.

A built-in, 30-in. ramp creates a 9-degree slope for pallet jack accessibility. Diamond tread on the deck, bridge plate, and access ramp promote traction. An extra-wide base and plate rollers help increase stability throughout the travel range.

Models are available in 4,000-, 5,000-, and 6,000-lb. weight capacities with platform sizes of 6 by 6 ft. or 6 by 8 ft. Heavy tubular legs and cross members minimize deflection and provide level handling of off-center loads. The unit’s hydraulic system uses biodegradable fluid to eliminate potential environmental hazards. An optional portability package is available.
