The TiltLift family is Autoquip’s premium series of work station tilters. With five times the number of life cycles as competitive brands, these unique lifts have become the recognized standard for customers demanding durability, safety, and minimum down time in their manufacturing process.
A combination of collapsed height of nearly half that of conventional tilters, load centering over the structural base frame while raising and lowering, and containment of the non-intrusive loading platform within its own footprint designate these tilters the most efficient and effective in the world.
Every TiltLift comes standard with premium features, includng captured rollers, two-piece self-aligning cylinder, and high-impact spiral wound bearings. TiltLift tilters also provide a more cost-effective work station solution than stacked conventional lifts. Vertical travel reaches up to 25 inches, tilt to 45 degrees, and loading capacities range from 2,000 to 6,000 pounds.
Common work station applications include bin and basket loading and unloading, parts assembly and disassembly, and work positioning – all with improved ergonomics, increased worker productivity, and greater factory throughput.
Originally developed and built by American Lifts, the TiltLift series has been made in the USA for over 20 years. Since Autoquip’s acquisition of the American Lift company, the TiltLift series has been manufactured at our factory in the heartland of America. Numerous standard options are available to customize this work station tilter for any unique application.
TiltLift Premium Features
- All scissors rollers are captured within structural steel channels to provide excellent load stability.
- High impact, spiral wound bearings at every pivot point provide maintenance-free, rugged resistance to abrasion, impact, and uneven loads.
- Structural cross-members at every pinned joint in the scissors assembly minimize leg deflection due to twisting or spreading under high or uneven loading.
- All hydraulic cylinders contain two-piece, self-aligning piston rods that transmit minimal side forces to the cylinder hinges/pins, significantly reducing wear.
- Structural steel channels in all upper and lower frames provide additional rigidity and resistance to twisting and bending of the lift under load.
- Solid steel legs and added stiffeners provide overall stability and straight, repeatable roller tracking as the lift raises and lowers.
- Joints, the most critical wear points in the lift, feature chrome-plated, 100,000 psi, ultimate-strength pins for premium load strength and long life.
- Minimum 1/4-inch-thick steel-reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, maximizes load stability, and greatly extends the life of the platform deck.
Maintenance and Warranty
- Autoquip offers an industry-best 2 year warranty on all parts as a promise that you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable work station tilter.
- On-board maintenance devices enable maintenance crews to safely and effectively block open the scissors during inspection and routine maintenance.
- Sturdy, semi-transparent polyurethane oil reservoir provides an easily visible method of checking fluid levels and eliminates oil contamination due to rust.
- Low pressure hydraulic circuit extends the life of all hydraulic components and puts less stress on the electric motor.
- Double wire braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
Simplicity
- TiltLift’s extremely small footprint allows workers to stand close to the product, which minimizes reaching and keeps work within the ergonomic “power zone.”
- Non-intrusive design minimizes floor space requirements for the operator
- Extremely low collapsed height increases its total ergonomic range.
- Standard controls are prewired and internal power unit is onboard. Installation simply includes lagging the unit to the ground and connecting to electricity.
Safety
- Non-intrusive design keeps the load centered over the base frame of the lift at all times.
- Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop lifts in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent due to sudden hose rupture.
- Minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts the most structurally sound lift in the industry.
