Loading Dock and Air Cargo Lifts
Loading Dock Lifts
M-Series – Medium-duty loading dock lift models can service any truck bed and/or dock height.
M-Series dock lifts are designed and built for use with non-powered transport devices like two wheel dollies, hand carts or hand pallet trucks. They can be pit mounted or pad mounted.
H-Series – Heavy-duty loading dock lift models are ideal for heavy load applications. Built in hydraulic overload relief protects personnel and structures. Heavy-plate platforms with structural reinforcements minimize deflection while the wide base provides increased rigidity and stability. H-Series loading dock lifts can be serviced with any type of load transport device including power driven forklifts. They can be pit mounted or pad mounted.

Air Cargo Lifts
Air Cargo Lifts are high-capacity, heavy-duty scissor lifts designed to speed and simplify the transfer of loads to and from transport vehicles to cargo terminals and off-site warehouse and distribution center facilities.
The standard air cargo lift platform is equipped with inverted casters placed in a uniform grid pattern that allow cargo containers and Unit Load Devices (ULDs) to be maneuvered or moved easily across the deck in any direction. A platform deck without the caster array can also be provided. The platform deck is coated with a durable grit slip-resistant finish to provide workers with sure footing as loads are moved across it.
