With over ten years of field tested applications utilizing LPI’s multi-axis overhead personnel lift design, LPI has introduced a new generation of this lift system.  These overhead lifts run on a set of rails similar to an overhead crane and provide 3-axis of movement to a personnel lift platform.  The personnel platform is located on the end of a telescoping mast that provides the up and down movement (Z-Axis). 

The operator platform can be configured as either a fixed platform or a rotational platform on the mast. The rotational platform is able to rotate 90 degrees left and right of center, providing greater mobility around your product.

The telescoping mast is attached to an overhead bridge that moves lengthwise along the overhead guide rails (X-Axis) and can be designed to an almost unlimited length of travel. The widthwise or left and right  travel (Y-Axis) is provided by a carriage that travels back and forth on the overhead spanning bridge and can be designed to fit the width of most bays or booths.

Designed for the demanding applications found in blast, wash, paint or fabrication environments, these versatile lifts can be adapted to fit virtually any size booth/bay and product configuration. Hoses and other utilities can be routed through the lift to the operator platform providing greater productivity and they can be design to run with either an air or electric power source.

In 1998 LPI, Inc. received a request from a customer to provide easy access to the outside and inside of large mining truck boxes. The solution was a customized 3-axis pneumatic powered overhead lift system. This type of installation required incorporation into project design and building structure. The end result is the operator has easy access to all areas of the truck bed.
