Lift Platform Guide

Lift platforms are an easy way to reach high places without resorting to a dedicated man lift table or truck.  These platforms simply slide onto a forklift’s forks and one person operates the lift while the other is raised in the platform.  Obviously, this poses some safety issues, however the manufacturer’s of these platforms have factored in several safety features to minimize risk.

SJF carries two main types of lift platform, the standard maintenance platform and a narrow aisle platform (good for smaller spaces).  Both have benefits and drawbacks, but both are guaranteed safe and fully functional.
