Foot-Operated Hydraulic Lifting

The AUT-HLT-500 uses a foot-operated hydraulic lifting system to raise the platform without requiring the operator to lift heavy workpieces manually.

Simply operate the foot pedal to raise the platform to the desired height. Once work is complete, the hand-operated hydraulic release lever allows controlled lowering.

This lifting system is particularly useful when positioning heavy components at welding tables, fabrication workstations, or equipment assembly areas.

Adjustable Platform Height

The hydraulic platform adjusts between a minimum height of 9.25" (235 mm) and a maximum height of 27.5" (698 mm).

This height adjustment allows the operator to position materials at different working levels without relying entirely on manual lifting.

Common uses include:

• Raising materials closer to fabrication table height
• Positioning components for equipment assembly
• Handling heavy tools and shop equipment
• Transferring workpieces between suitable work surfaces
• Adjusting material height for maintenance and repair work

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

The AUT-HLT-500 features an all-steel frame designed to support loads up to 500 lbs. (226 kg).

The platform measures 27.75" long x 17.6" wide, providing a useful lifting surface for equipment, components, and materials commonly handled in fabrication shops.

An oil-resistant nonslip rubber mat covers the platform surface to help reduce unwanted movement of materials during handling.

Mobile Design with Locking Casters

Four 4" (101 mm) polyurethane casters allow the cart to be moved around suitable shop floor surfaces.

The caster configuration includes:

• 2 Locking Swivel Casters: Allow maneuvering and can be locked when the cart is positioned for use.
• 2 Fixed Casters: Support directional movement when transporting the cart.

Engage the caster locks when positioning the cart for loading, unloading, or stationary work. Always ensure the cart is on a stable, level surface before raising or lowering a load.

Designed for Welding and Fabrication Shops

Handling heavy workpieces is a regular part of welding, fabrication, and industrial maintenance. The AUT-HLT-500 helps operators raise and position materials without lifting their full weight by hand.

Its hydraulic lifting capability, mobile steel frame, and adjustable working height make it useful for a variety of shop tasks.

Common Applications

• Welding and fabrication shops
• Workpiece lifting and positioning
• Industrial equipment assembly
• Machine shop material handling
• Heavy tool and equipment positioning
• Maintenance and repair operations
• Moving components between workstations
• Warehouse and shop material handling
• General industrial applications
