Overview
The Autoquip Series 35 Rover is a battery‑powered mobile scissor lift table designed for facilities that need to share one lift across multiple workstations. Completely self‑contained with an internal 12VDC power unit, onboard battery, and 110VAC battery charger, the Rover operates without any electrical connection at the point of use. Roll it to a workstation, lock the casters, perform the task, then move it to the next station. No floor anchoring, no wiring, no compressed air lines — just portable lifting power built on the proven Series 35 platform.
Standard models offer 36 and 48 inches of travel with load capacities from 2,500 to 6,000 lbs. Additional travel ranges from 24 to 60 inches are available on request. All models include a standard mobility package with four casters and a removable push/tow handle for easy repositioning between stations. The Rover delivers the same Series 35 construction quality and safety features as the fixed models in a fully portable package.
Features and Benefits
The Rover’s defining advantage is total portability. The onboard 12VDC battery‑powered hydraulic system eliminates the need for facility power at each workstation, which means the lift can be deployed anywhere on the floor without running electrical circuits or scheduling an electrician. The 110VAC battery charger plugs into any standard outlet and recharges during off‑shift hours, keeping the lift ready for the next production run.
Lockable casters add load stability during lifting operations, and a removable battery cover prevents accidental contact with the battery terminals. 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 extremely solid construction with minimal deck deflection. Solid steel legs with added stiffeners ensure straight, repeatable roller tracking 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. Autoquip backs the Rover 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 the Rover among the most structurally sound portable 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 Rover serves applications where a single lift needs to be shared across multiple workstations or where a permanent fixed installation is not practical. Common uses include pallet build‑up and tear‑down at rotating workstations where one lift supports several operators throughout the shift, parts assembly and disassembly in flexible production cells that change configuration frequently, work positioning at temporary or seasonal stations that do not have dedicated electrical circuits, conveyor feeding at different line positions where the lift must move to match production flow changes, and maintenance or repair tasks throughout a facility where portable lifting power is needed at various locations on demand.
Selection Assistance
Choosing the right mobile scissor lift table depends on your required travel range, load capacity, the number of workstations the lift will serve, and how frequently it needs to be repositioned. For applications that require a fixed lift at a single station, the standard Series 35 or any of its variants offers a wider selection of configurations. The Rover is the right choice when portability is a requirement and the lift must move between stations without electrical hookup. Additional travel ranges and custom specifications are available on request. Barron Equipment can help you evaluate the full Series 35 lineup and recommend the right configuration.
