		<title>Multi Axis Lift for Welding Applications</title>
		<link>http://en.lpi-inc.com/about/lpi-news/Multi-Axis-Lift-for-Welding-Applications</link>
		<pubDate>Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LPI, Inc. Ships 3-Axis Lift System for Welding Applications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LPI has been supplying lift systems to a major electrical components manufacturer for many years, and as their business grows, they continue to call upon LPI to provide specialty lifts for their fabrication process area. The pictured lift was designed for an application that involves positioning a worker to perform heavy welding. To assist them in their task, LPI has designed the operator platform to accommodate both a &lt;a title=&quot;Man Lifts for Welding, Operator Platforms&quot; name=&quot;Man Lifts for Welding, Operator Platforms&quot; href=&quot;http://en.lpi-inc.com/applications/Welding-Assembly&quot;&gt;welding system&lt;/a&gt; -- complete with wire feed spool rack -- and room for them to mount their smoke exhaust system. Because the welding system requires an electrical source, it was requested that the lift also be powered from a 480 volt supply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guided by a rail system, the three directions of platform movement allow the operator to travel left and right along the entire length of the product, adjust the elevation of the operator platform up and down to work on various sized products, and also the ability to adjust the platform in and out from a home position to work on narrow or wide products. A safety harness attachment point in the platform, in conjunction with special front rail system, allows positioning close enough to the product to inspect welds and remove slag during the welding process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LPI&amp;rsquo;s commitment to providing the right product for the application starts with understanding the needs of their customers, and is backed by over 30 years of experience in designing and fabricating lifts for applications from painting and blasting to fabrication and assembly. Visit our website at &lt;a href=&quot;../../&quot;&gt;www.lpi-inc.com&lt;/a&gt; and challenge us with your application!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<title>Custom Lift Makes Widebody Aircraft Access a Snap</title>
		<link>http://en.lpi-inc.com/about/lpi-news/Custom-Lift-Makes-Widebody-Aircraft-Access-a-Snap</link>
		<pubDate>Sat, 24 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;This unit was designed and built for one of our clients to reach the center beam area of widebody aircraft to perform routine maintenance tasks. Prior to their purchase of the lifts, the customer would set up a scaffold system to access the landing gear bay, perform about 20 minutes of work and disassemble the scaffolding. The incorporation of the lift reduced the overall process time from 50 minutes to 25 minutes. The roll out extension of the basket allows the operator to move close to their work, but have the lift far enough away from the landing bay doors to avoid damaging them. The lift is a pneumatic/hydraulic powered unit, which makes it inherently safe in the hangar area. The addition of the hose reel trailer allows them to connect to air supply connections in the floor of the hangar, but also use it throughout the entire hangar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LPI, Inc. Lift Systems has been providing personnel lifting solutions for finishing, fabricating and maintenance for over 30 years and is looking forward to more challenges in the future. View additional lifts at the company website, www.lpi-inc.com or call LPI, Inc. at 800-657-6956 to discuss your application.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<pubDate>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0600</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;How low can your lift go? The newly designed guard rail system from LPI,  Inc. Lift Systems can collapse to an overall lowered height of 39  inches, allowing for machinery to pass overhead. This feature gives your  workers increased access, where height restrictions due to moving  equipment make standard work platforms impractical. This feature also  allows for compact storage in areas where overhead space is at a  premium. Let LPI, Inc. provide you with a versatile scissor lift system  that saves time, money and space.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; LPI, Inc. Lift Systems has been providing personnel lifting solutions  for finishing, fabricating and maintenance for over 25+ years and is  looking forward to more challenges in the future.&lt;br /&gt; View additional lifts at the company website, www.lpi-inc.com or call LPI, Inc. at 800-657-6956 to discuss your application.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<title>Customer Upgrades (14)  20 Year Old Lifts</title>
		<link>http://en.lpi-inc.com/about/lpi-press/Customer-Upgrades-14-20-Year-Old-Lifts</link>
		<pubDate>Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;The lifts have been used on a daily basis to maintain the  appearance  of their fleet of transit vehicles.&lt;br /&gt; The current condition of the lifts purchased in 1986 is a tribute  to  the maintenance department and their primary reason for replacement  is a  modernization project including the upgrade of equipment that now   offers features that were not available when the original lifts were   manufactured and purchased.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;The  new lifts  will be a direct replacement onto  the existing lift rails.&lt;br /&gt; NO structural modifications needed  to incorporate the new lifts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p class=&quot;blueheadtext&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eau Claire Wis.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext style11&quot;&gt;The LPI Lift Systems line of  Work-Catch  Platforms is designed to provide safe, adjustable fall  protection in  manufacturing, maintenance and materials handling  applications. The  stable platform can be easily adjusted in length and  height to  facilitate your specific work needs. It is large enough to  accommodate  both workers and materials, helping to minimize excessive  movement  associated with manual lifting in a working environment and  reducing  the need for workers to retrieve needed supplies. The  Work-Catch  Platform is 36&quot; wide and 10' long in its retracted position.  When fully  extended, the platform ends can add an additional 78&quot; to the  overall  length of the platform bringing its entire length to 16'-6&amp;rdquo;.  The  collapsed platform height of 53&quot; can be adjusted to a maximum raised   position of 129&quot; allowing a worker to comfortably work on products up   to 16' in height. Platform weight capacity is 1,500 lbs. with a maximum   of 300 lbs. weight capacity on the rollout sections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodytext style11&quot;&gt;The LPI Work-Catch Platform system   utilizes a standard shop compressed air source (requires 50 SCFM at 90   psi) to operate the air/hydraulic power unit, while standard platform   controls allow the operator to move the platform up, down or make   emergency stops. The control panel also contains an auxiliary air supply   connection that can be used for easy operation of worker tools while  on  the platform. 	  Added safety features of the LPI Work-Catch  Platform include four  steel swivel casters, with swivel locks and wheel  brakes for maximum  stability. A self-closing gate and 43&quot;- high  guardrails provide for  safer containment when worker occupied. For over  25 years LPI Lift  Systems has manufactured personnel lifts, custom  lifts and aerial work  platforms designed for safety and worker  convenience in a variety of  work environments.

		<pubDate>Fri, 15 Apr 2005 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;Eau Claire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; , WI &amp;ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; LPI, Inc. Lift Systems has  developed a new elevating  work table along with an adjustable work  platform for economical and  versatile use to help facilitate  maintenance, material handling and  worker positioning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The platform itself measures only 20&amp;rdquo;   wide while the scissors-type lift can be raised vertically from its   lowest height of 10&amp;rdquo; to as much as 46&amp;rdquo;, providing for a working height   of approximately 10 ft. The unit is available without the optional   guardrails, allowing it to be used as a worktable for a variety of   tasks. The tabletop surface measures 20&amp;rdquo; x 66&amp;rdquo; and can hold up to 1,000   lbs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The compact size and  lightweight design  of both LPI&amp;rsquo;s worktable and work platform enable  easy maneuvering in  tight places, such as hazardous paint booths or  various industrial  areas, where space is an issue, eliminating the need  for unsafe ladders  and scaffolding. The units operate off of a  compressed air source (not  included), requiring 8 SCFM at 100 psi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;The standard units  come stationary, but  can be made into portable units with the addition  of optional casters  and T-bar handle. Other options such as rail-guided  systems are also  available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;How  low can your lift go? The newly designed guard rail system from LPI,  Inc. Lift Systems can collapse to an overall lowered height of 39  inches, allowing for machinery to pass overhead. This feature gives your  workers increased access, where height restrictions due to moving  equipment make standard work platforms impractical. This feature also  allows for compact storage in areas where overhead space is at a  premium. Let LPI, Inc. provide you with a versatile scissor lift system  that saves time, money and space.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;LPI,  Inc.

		<pubDate>Wed, 01 Aug 2001 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;For              low volume paint operations where justification of multiple  lifts              is not a reality, the curved rail guided scissors lift  platform is              a viable option. This pneumatic / hydraulic powered  personnel lift can              be used to access both sides and ends of a product as it  travels on              the floor guide rail. In addition the unit can be rolled off  the guide              rail and used as a stationary scissors platform for  maintenance and              fabrication. Operator platform travel ranges from a lowered  platform              height of 31&quot; to a maximum raised operator platform height  of 144&quot;.              The 31&quot; x 66&quot; operator platform has a 500 lb. capacity with a  powered              side shift of 16&quot;. Designed for flexibility, this unit  increases productivity              and safety by eliminating the need for ladders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

By  providing an adjustable work platform that surrounds the product,  workers can safely position themselves at levels that allow them to  comfortably and efficiently perform their work tasks. The 20' x 20' work  platform, with a lowered height of 13&quot; can be raised to a platform  height of 20'. The center of the platform has removable deck sections  designed to accommodate varying sized products. The large open platform  deck allows overhead light to reach the work surface and provides room  for parts and tools in addition to the workers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;LPI,  Inc.

		<pubDate>Thu, 25 Jan 2001 00:00:00 -0600</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This lift  platform was designed and built for a client to do engine maintenance  work on DC9 aircraft. The tow behind unit was designed to be towed behind  a standard tug and incorporates locking casters to fix it in place for  work. The guardrails were designed to be folded down at the midrail,  which allows the platform to roll under the engine housing from any  direction. The pneumatic/hydraulic power unit makes the lift platform  suitable for use throughout the entire hangar area. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;LPI,  Inc.

		<pubDate>Tue, 16 Jan 2001 00:00:00 -0600</pubDate>
		<description>&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The  lateral drive personnel lift improves  productivity by providing quick,  precise and safe access to large  equipment, confined spaces and work  areas. &lt;br /&gt; The operator can  maneuver into places that standard scissor  lifts can't reach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;bodytext&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The  standard drive system uses front  wheels to drive and steer for minimum  turning radius. The optional  lateral drive mode, when selected, turns  all four wheels 90 degrees,  enabling entire unit to drive sideways.  Power source is 24V DC with  eight six-volt batteries and automatic 50A  charger. Operator platform  is welded steel construction with 42&quot;  guardrails and lanyard tie off  points in safety plate floor for operator  safety. Lift travels 60  F.P.M. fully lowered, 30 F.P.M. in any raised  position in standard  drive, and 15 F.P.M. in lateral drive mode. LPI,  Inc. Lift Systems can  custom design and manufacture scissor lifts, boom  lifts, or work  platforms to meet the needs of any application. LPI, Inc.  Sales and  Engineering/CAD staff will analyze the application, looking  to satisfy  the primary need and address any special concerns that the  lift must  adapt to. Then, through the use of designed-to-application  baskets and  platforms, LPI, Inc. will manufacture a lift that fully  satisfies the  customer's needs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;LPI,  Inc. Lift Systems has been providing  portable personnel lifting  solutions for finishing, fabricating and  maintenance for nearly 25+  years and is looking forward to more  challenges in the future. &lt;br /&gt; View additional portable lifts at the  company website,  www.lpi-inc.com or call LPI, Inc. at 800-657-6956  to discuss your application.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The 10  ft. x 16 ft. platform, which  features easy one-person operation, is  designed for a large product load  of 2,500 lbs. with shelving on the  platform. Two motors are  synchronized to keep the platform level at all  times. Several safety  features are built in. Controls provide smooth  speed adjustment for  acceleration and deceleration. The lift travels at  170 FPM horizontally  and 40 FPM vertically. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
