Presto’s manual palletizer keeps load at ergonomic position

By Presto Lifts

P3 All-Around level loaderThe new P3 All-Around level loader from Presto Lifts is economical as well as ergonomic. Though it requires no electrical power and little maintenance, it virtually eliminates the productivity-robbing, injury-producing bending, lifting, reaching, and stretching common to pallet-loading applications.

The pneumatic airbag of the P3 All-Around automatically lowers or raises a pallet as boxes are added or removed, maintaining the top layer at a convenient height. And the turntable ring (or optional solid turntable platform) at the top of the unit allows the user to spin the load so he or she can stand in the same spot throughout the loading or unloading process.

The stable base of the P3 All-Around is smaller than most competing equipment. This allows the user to step even closer to the unit’s platform, further improving the ergonomic benefits of the P3. Fork pockets at the base allow for easy relocation.

The P3 All-Around can accommodate loads from 400 to 4,500 pounds, depending on which of five spring packages is chosen by the customer (based on the anticipated weight and height of a fully loaded pallet). If needs change, the unit can be adapted easily in the field by changing its spring combination. For more information, visit www.prestolifts.com.
