Frequently Asked Questions
The table uses a set of calibrated compression springs housed within the scissor-lift frame. When a pallet is loaded onto the platform, the combined weight of the pallet and its contents compresses the springs, lowering the table. As items are removed during unloading, the spring force gradually overcomes the remaining load weight, and the platform rises. Because the mechanism responds proportionally to load, the working surface remains at roughly the same height throughout the process without any operator adjustment. There are no motors, pumps, or control panels involved.
This model is rated to a maximum capacity of 2,000 kg and is designed for full-pallet operations in that range. The spring configuration can be adjusted on-site to suit your specific working load. For operations with very light loads (under approximately 300 kg), a different spring configuration or a lighter-duty model may be more appropriate. Contact our team and we can advise the right specification for your application.
No. The table is designed to be free-standing and includes built-in forklift pockets that allow it to be repositioned anywhere on a flat floor surface using a standard forklift or pallet truck — no ground fixings required. This makes it highly versatile across multi-purpose facilities or production lines where workstation layouts may change. That said, the table should always be positioned on a level, solid floor surface, and operators should never use it on an incline.
In a clean, dry warehouse environment, a well-maintained painted table can serve you well. But in food processing, cold storage, pharmaceutical production, chemical handling, or any wet or washdown environment, painted and epoxy-coated surfaces will eventually blister, chip, and corrode — creating hygiene risks and shortening equipment lifespan. Stainless steel doesn't corrode under repeated washdowns, resists the cleaning chemicals used in food-grade facilities, and can be sanitised without damaging the surface. Over a typical equipment lifecycle, the reduced maintenance cost and the elimination of early replacement more than offset the initial price difference.
Yes — this table is purpose-built for exactly these environments, and it's one of the strongest use cases for choosing the stainless steel model over a standard painted unit. The entire table is constructed from stainless steel, the material standard in food processing because it resists corrosion, tolerates aggressive cleaning chemicals, and survives repeated high-pressure washdowns without degrading. Critically, the spring-actuated mechanism is entirely mechanical — there are no hydraulic fluids, no lubricants, and no electrical components that could present a contamination risk in your production area. It's worth noting that HACCP is a food safety management framework applied at the facility and process level, not a product-level certification. No piece of equipment can be "HACCP certified" on its own but the design of this table is specifically aligned with what HACCP-governed environments require: non-porous, corrosion-resistant surfaces that are easy to clean and sanitise, zero risk of fluid contamination, and a unit that can be repositioned out of a production zone for deep cleaning when needed.
Spring-loaded lift tables have minimal maintenance requirements compared to powered alternatives. Periodic inspection of the spring assemblies, scissor arms, and pivot pins is recommended, typically every three to six months depending on usage intensity. Lubrication of the scissor pivot points and spring mounting hardware ensures smooth operation and extends service life. In wet or washdown environments, inspect the galvanised coating annually for any areas where the zinc layer may have been mechanically damaged. Astrolift's nationwide technician network can provide scheduled servicing and genuine replacement parts.
Absolutely. A common and highly effective configuration is to position two spring-loaded tables side by side — or separated by a short section of roller conveyor — to facilitate direct pallet-to-pallet transfer of goods. For example, this setup is frequently used to transfer product from wooden shipping pallets to hygienic plastic pallets for internal circulation, or to consolidate partial pallets. Because each table independently adjusts to its own load weight, both working surfaces remain at ergonomic height simultaneously, and the operator can transfer items between them without bending to floor level.
For facilities that require frequent repositioning without forklift assistance, an optional castor kit is available. The heavy-duty castors allow the table to be manually wheeled to a new location and locked in place before use, preventing any movement during operation. This eliminates repeated forklift manoeuvring in working areas, reducing both congestion and the associated collision risks in pedestrian zones.
This unit comes with two "Keep Hands & Feet Clear" warning decals fixed to both sides of the base frame, and high-visibility black-and-yellow hazard stripe markings run around the full perimeter of the table top. These are permanent, factory-applied features — not optional add-ons. Operators should always load and unload from above the rotating top and must never reach alongside or underneath the scissor mechanism while the platform is in motion.
Yes. The stainless steel construction is well-suited to cold and refrigerated environments where condensation, moisture, and temperature cycling would quickly degrade painted equipment. The all-mechanical spring system also has an advantage in cold stores: there's no hydraulic fluid to thicken in low temperatures, and no electrical components to fault. The unit operates the same at 2°C as it does at 25°C.
The Locking Pins are a built-in mechanical safety device that physically hold the scissor frame in the raised position, preventing the platform from dropping unexpectedly during maintenance or spring changes. They must be engaged before the Rotating Top is lifted off and before any work is carried out on the internal spring assembly or components.
