Changing the Springs
If the Palift is not ascending or descending at the correct rate, the springs may need to be changed
to a set that are better suited to the load.
Spring change procedures are set out in section 2.
Caution:
OPEN AND CHANGE ONLY ONE SIDE AT A TIME, OTHERWISE THE PALIFT WILL
COLLAPSE.
Caution:
The Palift top frame must be supported with a maintenance chock before both spring
caps are released or the top frame will plummet.

Other Features
Palift is available in multiple configurations:
a.
Static base with turntable top. Incorporates built in fork sockets and turntable for easy
access to all sides of the load.
b.
Static base with square top. Incorporates built in fork sockets and has a square non-
rotating top.
Either version can be relocated via forklift or with a proprietary mobility kit.
Palift is designed to take a standard CHEP/LOSCAM pallet or similar. Palift variations are available
to suit larger or heavier pallet loads if required.
The Palift incorporates a painted or hot dipped galvanised framework and electroplated hardware
and is suitable for wash-down applications. In acidic, highly saline or highly caustic environments,
the galvanising may be prone to premature failure. The Palift can be supplied with a special surface
treatment for these environments and a stainless steel model is also available for highly corrosive or
hygienic applications.
Adjustable feet are available as an option. Holes to accept the adjustable feet are incorporated into
the base frame of all Palifts. Adjustable feet should be used to level the Palift when used on sloping
or uneven ground.
Adjustable feet can also be used to elevate the base of the Palift by up to 100mm to allow underneath
access to a hand pallet truck. However, a Palift mobility kit is recommended for this application
instead as the increase in height is only 30mm when one is installed.
Note that the mobility kit cannot be used in conjunction with adjustable feet.
