Optimum Handling Solutions
Tuesday, 09 October, 2012


Optimum Handling Solutions (OHS) provided a national power board manufacturing company with a number of custom 300 kg lift and tilt work platforms for its main production facility in Sydney.

Customised scissor lift tables were suitable adjustable height work platforms. Each work platform was customised to the client’s specifications.

The work platforms sizes were designed to suit the products, and being height adjustable, they ensured operators were always working at a suitable height for the job at hand. A unique tilt function was added to assist with the testing and packing of the larger power boards. Ball transfers made the positioning of the products simple.

Lifting and tilting functions were controlled by hand pendant; however, foot control or a wall-mounted cabinet was available as well as automatic level controls for specialised applications.

The safety and production managers were pleased with the outcome of the custom work tables and were interested in purchasing additional units due to the difference they have made in the workshop so far.
