#3. Material Preference
Lift Table Enclosures are standard vinyl bellows in a typical situation. A vinyl material will most likely meet the needs of your application. Vinyl Lift Table Enclosure performance is undoubted and will increase the longevity of your scissor lift while maintaining quality and efficiency. Although, there are situations where our clients’ environment requires different materials. In that case, Kevlar or a chain mesh is the best alternative to vinyl. These materials perform well in high-temperature situations and are highly flexible.
#4. Mounting Selection
We offer several types of mounting options – a velcro attachment and a flat bar mount. The size of a scissor lift table is what ultimately decides on the requirement of the mounting selection. Velcro is a highly economical mounting option and is common in Lift Table Enclosures. Although, velcro is not recommended for large scissor lift tables. For larger scissor lift tables, the flat bar mount is highly recommended, as it’s bolted onto the lift. Large Lift Table Enclosures are heavier and rip away from the velcro adhesive, hence why we recommend a more robust implementation.
