Series "U" Platforms are low-profile, general purpose, type platforms sized for loads weighing up to 12,000 lbs. They are equipped with four air bearings connected by internal pneumatic plumbing to an on/off valve. Accessories include an operator handle, guide wheel, and a deadman-type control valve. They are typically used for easy manual movement of container and pallet-sized loads at workstations not having lift truck access or for omni-directional positioning of loads for machine loading and assembly operations. See how a U-platform provides easy movement of big paper rolls.
