Wesco Heavy-Duty Manual Scissor Lift Table Cart

Wesco Heavy Duty Manual Scissors Lift Table Cart

Wesco Heavy-Duty Manual Scissor Lift Table Cart | 1,650 or 2,200 lb Capacity

The Wesco heavy-duty manual scissor lift table cart is designed for high-capacity lifting and transport in warehouses, manufacturing plants, maintenance areas, and staging lines where loads exceed the range of standard-capacity scissor lift carts. The platform rises via a foot-operated hydraulic pump. A chrome-plated handle provides a durable grip for maneuvering under repeated daily use. Five-inch x 2" polyurethane casters include locking swivel casters for stable, stationary positioning.

Two models are available on a 20" wide platform in two lengths with two capacity ratings. Both models have a minimum lowered height of 20", meaning the load source must be at or above 20" for the cart to be positioned beneath it before lifting. If floor-level or pallet-level loading (below 20") is required, another model from the Wesco scissor lift cart lineup or an alternative brand should be considered.


Models and Specifications:

♦ 272970, 20" W, 39" L platform. Lift range 20" to 39". Capacity 1,650 lbs. Foot pump, chrome-plated handle, 5" x 2" polyurethane casters with locking swivel.

♦ 272973, 20" W, 40" L platform. Lift range 20" to 40". Capacity 2,200 lbs. Foot pump, chrome-plated handle, 5" x 2" polyurethane casters with locking swivel.


Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Capacity, 1,650 lb vs. 2,200 lb, choose 272970 (1,650 lb) when load weights are consistently below 1,650 lbs and no additional capacity margin is needed. Choose 272973 (2,200 lb) for heavier loads or when a higher capacity margin is preferred. Both models are built for high-cycle industrial use.

♦ Minimum lowered height, both models lower to 20" confirm the load source is at or above 20" before ordering. For applications where loads originate at floor level or at a standard 5-1/2" pallet height, select a scissor lift cart with a lower minimum height, such as the Vestil CART-400 (8-3/4") or the Wesco folding-handle models.

♦ Heavy-duty vs. standard: the 1,650- and 2,200-lb capacity models on this page exceed the capacities of the Wesco fixed-handle carts (700 to 1,000 lb) and folding-handle carts (330 to 1,100 lb). Choose the heavy-duty models when load weight is the primary driver and the 20" minimum lowered height is compatible with the application.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Heavy Fabrication and Stamping Operations: moving and positioning heavy dies, fixtures, weldments, and formed parts at bench or machine height; using the 1,650 and 2,200 lb Wesco models, where lighter-duty scissor carts cannot support the required load weight.

♦ Warehouse Heavy Palletized Goods Handling, warehouse operations moving heavy palletized goods between staging positions at consistent elevated heights, use the heavy-duty models for the higher capacity and platform size needed to support the pallet load.

♦ Maintenance and Equipment Positioning, maintenance departments position heavy motors, gearboxes, and large components at installation or service height. Use the 2,200-lb model for the highest-capacity portable manual lift in the Wesco scissor cart lineup.

♦ Manufacturing Assembly of Heavy Subassemblies, assembly operations, building heavy subassemblies at a fixed work height, using the heavy-duty cart to deliver and position components at the assembly station, reducing the manual lift burden on assemblers working with large, heavy parts.
