Overview
The Autoquip Series 35 Low Profile is an industrial scissor lift table engineered to deliver the lowest collapsed height in the Series 35 lineup. At just 5 inches in its lowered position, this lift sits closer to floor level than any other Autoquip scissor lift table, making it ideal for applications where loads must be rolled, slid, or placed onto the platform from near‑floor height without the need for ramps, pits, or elevated loading positions.
Standard models offer travel ranges from 24 to 48 inches with load capacities from 1,000 to 4,000 lbs. The Low Profile is also available in Extra Wide configurations for applications that need a wider platform without increasing collapsed height. A low‑profile turntable can be added to rotate and position loads for even greater ergonomic functionality. The remote‑mounted, prewired power unit keeps the lift profile compact and simplifies installation.
Features and Benefits
The 5‑inch collapsed height is the Low Profile’s defining advantage. This ultra‑low platform position allows operators to load and unload materials at floor level, eliminating the need for approach ramps or pit installations in many applications. Carts, dollies, and hand trucks can roll directly onto the platform surface, and parts can be placed on the deck without lifting them over a raised edge.
Lubricated‑for‑life composite bearings on all pivot points eliminate the need for routine greasing. Solid one‑piece steel legs with stiffener bars provide stability and straight roller tracking. Turned, ground, polished, and hard‑chromed axle pins deliver precise fit and long service life at every joint. Direct thrust cylinders with chrome‑plated rods provide smooth, controlled lifting and lowering, and double wire‑braided hydraulic hoses resist wear, abrasion, and leaks.
Velocity fuses on all cylinders provide controlled descent in the event of a severed hose. A polyethylene fluid reservoir resists corrosion and allows easy visual inspection for fluid level, condensation, and contamination. Every unit is factory tested to 110% of rated capacity before shipping. Autoquip backs the Low Profile with a 2‑year warranty on all parts.
Safety and Compliance
Hydraulic velocity fuses on all cylinders completely stop the lift in the unlikely event of uncontrolled descent. A minimum 3:1 structural factor of safety makes these lifts among the most structurally sound in the industry. 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 Low Profile serves applications where the lowest possible collapsed height is critical for loading, unloading, or interfacing with floor‑level processes. Common uses include ergonomic work positioning stations where operators need to load parts from floor level and raise them to a comfortable working height, cart positioning where wheeled carts must roll directly onto the platform surface at floor height, conveyor system integration where the lift must match a low conveyor discharge height in its lowered position, parts assembly and disassembly workstations that benefit from a turntable‑equipped low‑profile platform for rotating loads during the work process, and any application where a standard 6.5‑inch or higher collapsed height creates an unacceptable step‑up or requires an approach ramp.
Selection Assistance
Choosing the right low profile scissor lift table depends on your required collapsed height, travel range, load capacity, and whether you need a standard or extra wide platform. The standard Series 35 offers more travel range (up to 60 inches) and higher capacities (up to 15,000 lbs) but has a minimum collapsed height of 6.5 inches. The Low Profile reduces that to 5 inches but limits travel to 48 inches and capacity to 4,000 lbs. For applications that need both an ultra‑low collapsed height and a wider platform, the Low Profile Extra Wide variant is available.
