PLD Dock Lifts
Stable Loading & Unloading
PLD Dock Scissor Lifts are stationary lifts with a low 6″ to 6 1/2″ profile and feature either a handy onboard hydraulic power unit or a more powerful remote power unit. PLD models offer two platform sizes with capacities ranging from 2,000 lbs. to 5,000 lbs., and over 55 1/2″ of vertical travel. With a hinged approach ramp on one side and a throw-over bridge on the other, the PLD is well suited for pass-through dock applications of pallet jacks and hand dollies and are often found in the automotive, aerospace, and retail industries.
| Capacities | Travel Distance | Platform | Mobility | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 lbs / 5,000 lbs | 55.5″ | From scissor, conveyors, rotators, and extensions available. | Multiple types of unpowered to powered. | Many control options to assist any application and safety requirements. |
Flexibility & Ease of Use
- Simple Up/Down push button operation.
- Throw-over bridge conveniently covers transition gaps
- Hinged approach ramp simplifies loading/offloading.
Durability & Quality
- 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.
- Solid steel legs and added stiffeners provide overall stability and straight, repeatable roller tracking as the lift raises and lowers.
- Thick steel reinforced platform minimizes deck deflection, maximizes load stability, and extends life of the platform deck.
Safety
- Permanent handrails allow for safe maneuvering of workers.
- Beveled platform sides protect workers’ feet and toes.
- 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 in the industry.
- Compliance with recognized national standard
Maintenance and Warranty
- On-board maintenance devices enable maintenance crews to safely and effectively block open the scissors during inspection and routine maintenance.
- Maintenance-free bearings at pivot points require no lubrication.
- Efficient hydraulic power unit simplifies servicing.
- Double wire braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
- Easy replacement of high strength steel rollers minimizes downtime.
- Autoquip offers a 2-year warranty on all parts as a promise that you’ve purchased the industry’s most reliable lift.
