An electro-hydraulic work positioner, designed to place parts within ergonomically accessible reach of the operator, has been developed. The Model LTN1 Electro-Hydraulic Work Positioner eliminates repetitive bending by a worker to position or retrieve components, thereby minimizing risk of operator injury, improving production efficiency, increasing employee comfort, and reducing the potential for part damage as they are positioned or removed from the container. According the company, the positioner design is different from others, because as it raises, it moves away from the operator during the tilting operation, thereby minimizing any intrusion into the operator's work area. This makes the machine suited for congested work areas. The model is available in 2,500,

4,00, and 6,000-lb. capacities with standard platform sizes up to 48 x 60 in. and a 12 in. high backstop. The platform has a variable controlled titling capability up to 45°. Other features include a self-contained, electro-hydraulic power unit with a totally enclosed, non-ventilated motor, lubricated-for-life, maintenance-free bearings at all pivot points, pre-wired NEMA 12 push-button and motor controls, and the company's precision hydraulic cylinders. Options include other sizes of platforms and backstops.
