Manual Skid Lifts
Manual Skid Lifts, Skid & Open-Bottom Pallet Handling
Manual Skid Lifts are a compact, reliable way to lift open-bottom pallets and skids to an ergonomic working height, without the cost, bulk, or complexity of powered equipment. They're built for operations that want safer handling and smoother workflows in tight aisles, work cells, and staging areas where forklifts aren't practical or necessary.
By raising palletized materials to waist height, manual skid lifts help reduce bending, reaching, and strain during picking, packing, inspection, assembly support, and maintenance tasks. The result is straightforward: less fatigue, fewer handling injuries, and faster throughput, with a durable design built to withstand everyday industrial use.
Product Lines:
Logitrans Thork manual skid lift (3,300 lb); Bishamon (1,100-2,200 lb); Lift Products (2,000 lb); Wesco standard (1,100-3,300 lb) and Stainless Steel (2,200 lb); and a Logitrans Stainless Steel skid lift (3,300 lb) for washdown and sanitation-sensitive environments.
Selecting the Right Model:
♦ Capacity, ranging from 1,100 up to 3,300 lb across these lines; select based on the heaviest skid or pallet handled regularly.
♦ Environment: Choose Stainless Steel construction from Wesco or Logitrans for washdown, food, or sanitation-sensitive environments.
♦ Brand fit: Choose from Logitrans, Bishamon, Wesco, or Lift Products based on specific dimensions and configuration needs.
Where Commonly Used:
Manual skid lifts are used in tight aisles and work cells where compact lifts suit spaces forklifts can't reach, at picking and packing stations where ergonomic working height reduces bending and reaching, in sanitation-sensitive facilities where stainless steel models support washdown and food-grade environments, and in maintenance and assembly support where manual lifts provide reliable everyday skid handling.

Buying Guide
A pallet truck cannot get under a closed-bottom skid, which is exactly the problem manual skid lifts are built to solve. Our Mobile Lift Equipment & Stackers guide explains the geometry and covers when a manual lift is the better choice over powered skid equipment. |
