With internal hydraulic power, PalletPal Roll-On Level Loaders lower to floor height so pallets can be rolled on and off with a hand pallet truck. The lift is then easily adjusted by pushbutton or foot switch control to maintain an ideal height for manual loading and unloading. The narrow side and back panels allow for easy reach over for 4 side access.

• Photo-eye provides toe protection
• Platform locks in partially up position to allow relocation by means of a hand pallet truck
• Available One-Touch Auto Leveling provides up or down adjustment by a preset increment at the touch of a button.
• Optional turntable with ramp makes this an ergonomic choice.

Southworth can create lift tables that lower to ground level. These are ideal when you desire to load the lift table by pallet jack or hand truck.

Lift tables may be surface mounted or pit mounted.  In special cases with floorspace constraints, we are able to combine two lifts to maintain a limited footprint yet achieve the high elevation that you require. 

Contact Indoff with a description of the load that you would like to lift or handle.  Our engineers will be happy to help specify or design a lift table that meets you job description.

•  Move from wooden pallets to sanitized pallets (food, pharmaceutical industries)
•  Move from rack-able pallets to inexpensive shipping pallets
• Move from expensive import/export pallets to inexpensive pallets
• Repalletize due to broken pallets or damaged product at the bottom of the pallet

  

  If you do, then you have a great application for a Southworth PalletPal Pallet Inverter. 

  The Southworth PalletPal pallet inverter is the easiets way way to rotate pallet loads. The pressure-adjustable clamp secures loads measuring up to 48" x 48" x 60" and weighing up to 4,400 lbs. and rotates them a full 180° at the touch of a button. This product will transfer a full pallet load from one pallet to another in just a minute or so. This can greatly reduce labor costs as well as potential workman’s comp claims.

  The uses are endless…

  • Transferring to or from in-house to shipping pallets or slip sheets

  • Replacing damaged items at the bottom of a load

  • Turning inventory for freshness

  • Replacing broken pallets

  If you think you have an application for one, please contact me and I will help you with a proposal. I have attached information about our Pallet Inverter

Just about anybody doing the following tasks: 

Manually load or unload pallets, totes, Gaylord containers, wire baskets, etc. 

Move equipment to a comfortable height to work on it. 

Move equipment, pallets, carts, etc from one level to another for transport. 

Transport and position work around the shop.

Steel Driven Price Increase (an excerpt from a letter written by Brian McNamara on May 22, 2008

We do not know what is really causing the wild escalation that is
occurring
in the cost of steel. We do not know how long the trend will continue or
whether the cost will stabilize higher or lower than it is today. What
we do
know is:

*       Since Q4 2007, the cost of the steel products that we use has gone up by 30-50% depending  upon classification (plate, structural, etc.).
*       The current trend is escalating upward.
*       Steel costs are actually going up even faster in other parts of the world.
*       As these continuously rising raw material costs  work their way through our supply lines (service centers, fabricators, component OEM's, etc.), our costs will continue to get worse during the coming months.
*       Southworth manufactures heavy, rugged equipment and the vast majority of our material costs are being directly impacted by the full brunt of these increases.

Consequently, on June 2, 2008, we will be implementing a price increase. There will be models that (will vary in increase) due to their metal content as a percent of total cost.
There will also be a few models increasing at less than full impact due to unrelated recent cost improvements. Despite the magnitude, this increase has been carefully calculated to only be the minimum necessary to cover our increased cost.

Although the extent of this price ascent in metals is unprecedented, these situations typically stabilize at some point. As a part of our commitment to lower prices if the circumstances eventually allow, our increase will consist of a combination of a base price increase and a surcharge. The surcharge component will allow us to back-off more quickly if the trend actually comes down before stabilizing.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely,

Brian McNamara
