(10023) Herkules designs and manufactures several models of the lift and tilt and rotate tables to accommodate the correct positioning of pallets, racks, and bins. These lifts can tilt the material up to 45 degrees, then rotate them 360 degrees, then have the ability to raise vertically based on the desired working height of the associate.
Adjustable Work Platforms
Project number: (10022) V0038
Customer:
Schenck Motorama Inc. – System Integrator
General Motor Corporation – End User
Application description:
Adjustable work platform is used for production assembly of component parts to vehicles
Mechanical Tilter Tilt Table
(10021) Herkules is a supplier of Mechanical Tilters which replace the need for powered tilt tables. These mechanical tilters place material within a comfortable reach of the operator which eliminates bending and reaching. These tilters are virtually maintenance free and are substantially less expensive than comparable powered units (picture shown with optional lift table).

We have supplied major automotive plants such as Ford Motor Company, Nissan North America, Toyota Motor Manufacturing and other major manufacturing plants around the country (Click here for more detailed customer listings)
Engineering the Best Scissor Lift Tables
(10017) When I took it upon myself to engineer a product line of air powered scissor lift tables for the 21st century I knew the final design needed to be beautiful. Recognizing early on in the project that the use of all the latest finite element analysis (FEA) and computer aided design (CAD) software packages must be used to achieve the goals was integral.
Cart Lift Loading Conditions
(10016) As an expert manufacturer of cart lifting equipment, Herkules knows that a properly loaded cart can ensure that the lift lasts many years and operates in a safe manner. Below you will see two diagrams which illustrate this point.
Forklift-Free Cart Lifts
(10015) Forklift trucks (or high-lows) have been around since the 1920s. The use of such vehicles in manufacturing plants was deemed a vital necessity in manufacturing and warehousing plants. By the mid 90’s, Just-in-time (JIT) delivery practices suggested that forklift trucks might be better suited for loading docks, with carts actually carrying the bins and pallets of product to the line-side assembly area. Thus, the beginning of Forklift Truck free, or simply “Fork Free” environments came into being.
Guidelines for Integrating Scissor Lift Tables with Carts
(10014) I have seen hundreds of scissor lift table applications and cart applications over the years. In most cases, the best workstation solution requires the integration of the lift with the cart to ensure the operator picks from the correct ergonomic work height.
