Bishamon Skid Lifts

Pallet Positioner – Lift Pilot

The Lift Pilot is unlike any other pallet positioner product in the industry. It is pallet truck accessible and offers totally unobstructed access with no ramps, bumps or obstructions. This compact, obstruction-free design makes pan lifts, “C” lifts, “E” lifts and all other roll-on lifts practically obsolete. The unique space-saving design, the smallest footprint in the industry, gives the operator full access to pallet sides and end for easy pallet loading or unloading, eliminating reach-over

The innovative design of the Lift Pilot incorporates several intelligent features including telescoping forks, pallet presence sensors, and a patented, foot-clear, safety system. The operator has full access to pallet sides and ends for easy pallet loading or unloading. Handles GMA pallets from the end and CHEP pallets from the end or side. Intelligent design and operator interface: Pallet presence sensors, Highly visible function lights at top of mast & Voice instructions. Designed to operate with the worker in mind. The Bishamon Lift Pilot is truly the next generation of smart ergonomic equipment.

BISHAMON SKID LIFT AND PALLET JACK FAQs

A skid lift, also known as a skid-steer lift or skid steer loader, is a versatile piece of heavy equipment commonly used in construction, agriculture, landscaping, and various other industries. Its primary purpose is to perform a wide range of material handling and earthmoving tasks. Skid lifts are equipped with a lift arm and attachments that can be swapped out, allowing them to perform functions like lifting, digging, grading, excavating, and moving materials like dirt, debris, pallets, and construction materials. These machines are highly maneuverable and can pivot or “skid” by independently controlling the speed of the wheels on each side, making them suitable for tight spaces and challenging terrains. Skid lifts are versatile workhorses that can be adapted for different jobs, making them valuable assets for many industries.

A pallet jack, also known as a pallet truck or pump truck, is a simple, effective tool used to lift and move pallets within warehouses, factories, and retail stores. It works on a hydraulic system and is operated manually. Here’s how it works:

A pallet jack consists of two long, parallel forks designed to fit beneath a pallet, accompanied by a pump handle positioned near the operator’s waist level to engage the hydraulic system. To raise a pallet, the operator lowers the forks to the ground and pumps the handle, pushing hydraulic fluid into the lift cylinder. This action elevates a piston, lifting the forks along with the load. The hydraulic system provides the necessary mechanical advantage to raise heavy pallets effortlessly. After achieving the desired height, the operator can easily maneuver the pallet jack by pushing or pulling it, thanks to the swiveling front wheels. To lower the load, the operator releases hydraulic pressure by turning the handle counterclockwise, allowing the forks and load to descend gently. Pallet jacks are prized for their simplicity, efficiency, and user-friendliness. They are an invaluable tool for handling materials in warehouses and storage environments, especially when moving palletized goods over short distances.

Pallet jacks come in various types to accommodate different needs and environments. Some of the most common types include:

Manual Pallet Jacks: These are the most basic and widely used pallet jacks. They are operated by manually pumping the handle to lift the load. Manual pallet jacks are ideal for light to medium-duty applications.

Electric Pallet Jacks: Electric pallet jacks, also called powered pallet jacks or walkie pallet jacks, are equipped with an electric motor that assists in lifting and moving heavy loads. They are suitable for larger and heavier loads.

High-Lift Pallet Jacks: High-lift pallet jacks, also called scissor lift pallet jacks, have a lifting mechanism allowing them to lift pallets to higher elevations. These are useful for loading and unloading trucks, stacking pallets, and positioning goods at various heights.

Rough Terrain Pallet Jacks: Rough terrain pallet jacks are designed for outdoor or uneven surface use. They have larger, more robust wheels and tires that can handle gravel, dirt, and rough terrain.

Stainless Steel Pallet Jacks: Stainless steel pallet jacks are built using corrosion-resistant materials, making them ideal for environments where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, like food processing plants, and pharmaceutical facilities.

Low-Profile Pallet Jacks: Low-profile pallet jacks are designed to access pallets with lower clearances. They are useful for handling specialized pallets or goods requiring a lower entry point.

All-Terrain Pallet Jacks: All-terrain pallet jacks are equipped with heavy-duty wheels and are suitable for use on various surfaces, including sand, gravel, and uneven ground. They are commonly used in outdoor settings like construction sites and nurseries.

Narrow-Aisle Pallet Jacks: Narrow-aisle pallet jacks are designed for use in confined spaces with limited maneuvering room. They have a more compact design to navigate narrow aisles and tight spaces efficiently.

The choice of pallet jack type depends on the specific requirements of your material handling tasks, the weight and size of the loads you need to move, and the environment in which you operate.

Regular maintenance is important for the safe and efficient operation of skid lifts and pallet jacks. This includes lubricating moving parts, conducting inspections for wear and tear, keeping the equipment clean, maintaining electric pallet jack batteries, caring for tires, checking the hydraulic system for leaks, providing operator training, avoiding overloading, replacing worn parts with genuine replacements, and maintaining maintenance and inspection records. These practices help extend the equipment’s lifespan, improve safety, and reduce downtime.
