Presto Manual Light Duty Scissor Lift Tables

Presto Lifts Manual Light Duty Scissors Lift Table

Presto Lifts Manual Light Duty Scissors Lift Table

The Presto Manual Light Duty Scissor Lift Table series uses a foot-operated hydraulic pump for smooth, controlled lifting and a hand-operated release for precise lowering. No electrical connection required. Scissor legs are 1/2" thick steel. Cylinders are chrome-plated. All bearings are lifetime lubricated. The hinged platform provides access to internal components in the lowered position for inspection and service. Capacities run from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs across 10 models.

This is the manual-operation counterpart to the electric XS/WXS light-duty series. The right choice when no power supply is available at the workstation, when cycle frequency is low enough that foot-pump operation is practical, or when a lower purchase price is the priority.

Choosing the Right Model:

The lineup follows the same two-platform-width structure as the electric series. The XF models have a 24" wide platform. The WXF models have a 36" wide platform. Within each family, platform length determines travel range and capacity options.

24" wide platform (XF series):

♦ XF24-10: 24" x 36" platform, 5-1/4" to 29" travel, 1,000 lb capacity.

♦ XF24-15: 24" x 36" platform, 5-1/4" to 29" travel, 1,500 lb capacity.

♦ XF24-20: 24" x 36" platform, 7-1/4" to 31" travel, 2,000 lb capacity. Note the lowered height reflects a heavier scissor frame for this capacity tier.

♦ XF36-10: 24" x 48" platform, 5-1/4" to 41" travel, 1,000 lb capacity.

♦ XF36-15: 24" x 48" platform, 5-1/4" to 41" travel, 1,500 lb capacity.

♦ XF36-20: 24" x 48" platform, 7-1/4" to 43" travel, 2,000 lb capacity.

36" wide platform (WXF series):

♦ WXF24-10: 36" x 36" platform, 5-1/4" to 29-1/4" travel, 1,000 lb capacity.

♦ WXF24-15: 36" x 36" platform, 5-1/4" to 29-1/4" travel, 1,500 lb capacity.

♦ WXF36-10: 36" x 48" platform, 5-1/4" to 41-1/4" travel, 1,000 lb capacity.

♦ WXF36-15: 36" x 48" platform, 5-1/4" to 41-1/4" travel, 1,500 lb capacity.

Choose the 24" wide XF platform for tighter workstations or narrower loads. Choose the 36" wide WXF platform for wider loads or when lateral stability is needed. Choose the longer platform (XF36/WXF36) when the higher raised height of 41" is required. The 2,000 lb capacity is currently available in the 24"-wide XF series only.

Where Presto Manual Light Duty Tables Are Commonly Used:

♦ Assembly and packaging workstations without power access: The foot-pump design requires no electrical connection, making these tables easy to place anywhere on the floor without infrastructure changes.

♦ Maintenance and repair areas: Raising components, tools, or subassemblies to working height in service bays or maintenance corridors where a permanent electric lift table is not practical.

♦ Receiving and staging: Positioning inbound cartons or parts at a consistent transfer height to reduce floor-level handling without the cost of a powered unit.

♦ Low-cycle light handling: Any application where loads are lifted a few times per shift rather than continuously, making foot-pump operation efficient rather than fatiguing.
