Overview
The Autoquip Series 35 Extra Narrow is an industrial scissor lift table designed for workstations where floor space is constrained or where adjacent equipment would interfere with a standard‑width lift. The exceptionally narrow leg stance—as narrow as 16 inches on select models—allows the lift to fit into tight production cells, narrow aisles, and crowded conveyor lines where a standard Series 35 base frame would not clear surrounding fixtures or machinery.
Despite its compact width, the Extra Narrow delivers the same Series 35 durability and lifting performance that Autoquip is known for. Standard models offer travel ranges from 24 to 60 inches with load capacities from 2,500 to 6,000 lbs. Collapsed heights start as low as 6.5 inches, and the hydraulic power unit comes prewired and mounted onboard for straightforward installation. Lag the unit to the floor, connect to electricity, and the lift is ready to operate in the tightest work environments.
Features and Benefits
The narrow leg stance is the defining feature of the Extra Narrow. By reducing the base frame width, the lift consumes less floor space and provides more clearance between its legs and adjacent equipment, walls, or conveyors. This allows workers to stand closer to the product and minimizes the overall floor area dedicated to the lifting station. The result is a more efficient layout that puts ergonomic height adjustment exactly where it is needed without forcing a facility to reconfigure surrounding equipment.
Construction quality matches the rest of the Series 35 family. Chrome‑plated, 100,000 psi ultimate‑strength pins at every joint deliver premium load strength and long service life. Single‑piece, steel‑reinforced legs and a 1/4‑ to 3/8‑inch‑thick steel platform provide solid construction with minimal deck deflection. Solid steel legs and added stiffeners ensure straight, repeatable roller tracking as the lift raises and lowers under load.
On‑board maintenance devices let crews safely block open the scissors during inspection. A semi‑transparent polyurethane oil reservoir provides clear fluid level visibility, and double wire‑braided Parker hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks. High‑strength steel rollers are designed for easy replacement to minimize downtime. Autoquip backs every Series 35 Extra Narrow with an industry‑best 2‑year warranty on all parts.
Safety and Compliance
Hydraulic velocity fuses completely stop the lift in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent from a sudden hose rupture. A minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts among the most structurally sound industrial scissor lift tables available. Each unit complies with ANSI MH29.1 for industrial scissor lifts, NFPA 70 National Electric Code, ASTM A36 structural steel standards, ANSI Z535 safety labeling requirements, AWS D.1 welding standards, and applicable portions of OSHA 29CFR1910 for general workplace safety.
Applications
The Series 35 Extra Narrow serves applications where standard‑width scissor lift tables cannot physically fit or would interfere with surrounding equipment. Common uses include ergonomic work positioning stations in narrow production cells where the lift must clear adjacent machinery or tooling, conveyor system integration where the lift base frame must fit between conveyor supports or within a conveyor line footprint, parts assembly and disassembly at workstations with limited lateral space, and any application where floor space constraints prevent the use of a standard‑width Series 35 model. The narrow stance also makes this lift well suited for retrofitting into existing production layouts where the lift must drop into a tight space without relocating surrounding equipment.
Selection Assistance
Choosing the right extra narrow scissor lift table depends on your required platform width, travel range, load capacity, and the clearance available between adjacent equipment. For applications that do not have width constraints, the standard Series 35 offers a wider selection of capacities up to 15,000 lbs. For applications needing the smallest possible footprint with compact height, the Autoquip Compact Lift is another option. The Extra Narrow is the best choice when you need the proven Series 35 platform in a narrower base frame that clears tight spaces.
