Overview
The Southworth Backsaver Lite Portable Lift Table is a battery powered mobile scissor lift designed to bring ergonomic height adjustment wherever it is needed in your facility. Four easy‑rolling casters with locks let operators push the lift between workstations, staging areas, and production cells, while the internal 12V DC power unit with built‑in charger provides cordless push‑button lifting without the need for an electrical outlet at each location.
Available in 550 and 1,100 lb capacities with 26 inches of travel, the Backsaver Lite Portable raises loads from 10.5 inches to 36.5 inches. The standard 24 x 40 inch platform can be extended up to 30 x 48 inches for larger loads. Southworth’s proven low‑pressure hydraulic system delivers fast, smooth raising and lowering with fully adjustable down speed for precise load positioning.
Features and Benefits
The Backsaver Lite Portable is built for reliable daily use with minimal maintenance. Heavy duty torque tubes minimize platform deflection under load. Lubricated‑for‑life pins, rollers, and bushings eliminate routine greasing across the entire scissor mechanism. Full‑width, straight‑through axles provide increased stability throughout the travel range, keeping the platform steady even when loads are positioned off center.
Heavy duty wire‑braided hoses deliver maximum burst strength, while a transparent return hydraulic line helps prevent fluid spillage during operation. The bolt‑on power unit provides a clean, compact installation with easy access to all components for service. Built‑in safety chocks are included for secure maintenance access. Push‑button pendant controls allow the operator to raise and lower the platform quickly and gently from a comfortable position.
Applications
The Backsaver Lite Portable serves applications where a mobile, battery powered lifting platform is needed at multiple locations throughout the facility. Common uses include workstation replenishment where parts and materials are delivered to different assembly points at adjustable height, packaging and shipping areas where loads must be raised or lowered at various stations without fixed electrical connections, inspection and quality control where products are moved between checkpoints, maintenance and repair tasks where tools and components travel to the equipment being serviced, and any facility that needs a portable ergonomic lifting solution without running power cords or installing permanent lift stations.

The Backsaver Lite Portable is the right choice when you need battery powered mobility with Southworth’s proven hydraulic lift construction. For stationary applications that do not need casters, the standard Backsaver Lite offers AC power with lower collapsed heights and a 1,500 lb capacity option.
