Work Positioner – Multiple Raised Heights and Lowered Heights

Overview Barron Equipment and Overhead Door carries the WP and WPS Series of work positioners from Presto Lifts. These low-mast, manual-drive, power-lift units combine the roles of a transporter, stacker, and portable lift table in a single machine. Use an adjustable work positioner anywhere you need to raise loads to a comfortable working height without a dedicated, floor-mounted device. The WP Series uses a fork-over design for open-bottom pallets and skids. The WPS Series uses a straddle configuration that works with any pallet type, including closed-bottom. All four models are rated at 2,000 lbs with 24-inch load centers and feature tiller handle steering for precise load positioning.

A hand-operated floor lock keeps the unit stable during lifting. The WP36-20 and WP60-20 are fork-over models with raised heights of 36 and 60 inches, a lowered height of 3.25 inches, and a 28-inch wide footprint. The WPS5036-20 and WPS5060-20 are straddle models with a 50-inch inside straddle, raised heights of 36 and 60 inches, and a lowered height of just 2 inches. The wider straddle on the WPS models allows these adjustable work positioners to handle full-size pallets that fork-over models cannot. All models include a heavy-duty 12-volt battery with built-in microprocessor charger. The powered lift raises loads at 4 inches per second. Optional slip-on platforms turn any model into a mobile work surface for non-palletized loads. Applications Work positioners are designed for facilities that need mobile, adjustable lifting at ergonomic working heights. Common uses include: Raising pallets and containers to working height at assembly and pack stations Positioning loads at workbenches, inspection tables, and production cells Transporting materials between workstations and staging areas Loading and unloading shelves, conveyors, and elevated surfaces Serving as a portable lift table where permanent installations are not practical Handling non-palletized loads with optional slip-on platforms Because these adjustable work positioners are mobile, a single unit can serve multiple stations throughout a shift. The compact footprint and low-mast design make them easy to move through doorways and congested aisles. Straddle models handle any pallet type, while fork-over models suit operations that only use open-bottom pallets. Selection Assistance If you only use open-bottom pallets, the WP36-20 or WP60-20 fork-over work positioners provide a narrower profile. If your facility uses closed-bottom or mixed pallet types, the WPS5036-20 or WPS5060-20 straddle models are the better choice. The 36-inch models work well for feeding workbenches and pack tables. The 60-inch models reach higher surfaces like shelving and conveyors. Optional accessories include remote controls, modified platforms, extended backplates, boom with hook, drum grabber, roller bed, and fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.
