Autoquip ABS airbag pneumatic lifts are driven by heavy industrial airbag actuators mounted at an angle, which gives a lower collapsed height. They suit clean rooms because there is no hydraulic oil to leak or spill.
Autoquip positions the ABS as an economical way to transfer, stack and shuttle materials over short travel. Fifteen standard models cover 2000 to 6000 lbs with 5″ to 15″ of travel, on a 24″ x 48″ standard platform that can grow to as much as 48″ x 96″.

How to Choose the Right Pneumatic Airbag Scissor Lift
Start with travel: the model number prefix is the travel in inches (5, 7, 10, 11, 12 or 15). Then pick capacity. Note that end and side load ratings can be lower than the centered capacity – for example the 5ABS60 is rated 6000 lbs centered but 4000 lbs on the end or side.
Check the lowered height, which runs 6-1/2″ on the shortest-travel models up to 12-1/2″ on the 12″ and 15″ travel models. The standard platform is 24″ x 48″; maximum platform depends on capacity, from 48″ x 72″ to 48″ x 96″.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far does an Autoquip ABS lift travel?
5″ to 15″, depending on model. The first number in the model is the travel in inches.
What air pressure does the ABS use?
Autoquip’s manual says not to inflate the air bags above 80 psi, and a minimum of 5 cfm gives 10 to 15 second raise times.
Why is it good for clean rooms?
There is no hydraulic oil, so there are no leaks or spills.
What platform sizes are available?
24″ x 48″ standard, and up to 48″ x 72″, 48″ x 84″ or 48″ x 96″ depending on model.

The Southworth Manual Dandy Lift is a portable foot-pump scissor lift cart. Five models run from the 330 lb L-150 up to the 1760 lb A-800, and the high-lift A-350W reaches 49.8 inches.
The Dandy's design is built around the operator: a 180-degree access foot pedal that can be pumped from the side or the back, an oversized lowering handle reachable from any position, and contoured comfort grips. An integrated floor lock holds the cart in place while you work.
Southworth Manual Dandy Lift Specifications
| Model | Capacity | Platform | Lowered | Travel | Raised | Ship Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L-150 | 330 lbs | 17.7" x 28" | 8.3" | 20.7" | 29" | 80 lbs |
| L-250 | 550 lbs | 19.7" x 31.5" | 9.5" | 22.2" | 31.8" | 115 lbs |
| A-350W | 770 lbs | 23.6" x 35.8" | 17.5" | 36.2" | 49.8" | 230 lbs |
| A-500 | 1100 lbs | 23.6" x 35.8" | 11.8" | 24.8" | 36.6" | 195 lbs |
| A-800 | 1760 lbs | 23.6" x 39.4" | 13.6" | 27.2" | 40.2" | 275 lbs |

How to Choose the Right Portable Scissor Lift Cart
L-150 and L-250 are the light-duty models for totes and small parts. A-500 and A-800 are the medium and heavy-duty models with the wider 23.6-inch platform.
The A-350W is the one to notice: 770 lbs but 36.2 inches of travel to a 49.8-inch raised height. If your operator needs to load something tall, that extra travel is worth more than raw capacity. If loads change as you stack, ask about the self-leveling Dandy Leveler instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Manual Dandy Lift hold?
330 lbs on the L-150 up to 1760 lbs on the A-800.
Which Dandy lifts highest?
The A-350W, at a 49.8-inch raised height with 36.2 inches of vertical travel.
Does it need power?
No. The Manual Dandy runs entirely on a foot pump. Southworth also makes the Powered Dandy if you want push-button operation.
Can the foot pedal be reached from the side?
Yes. The pedal has 180-degree access, so it can be pumped from either side or from behind the unit.

The Vestil Lift and Tilt Cart with Sequence Select raises a load and then tilts it toward the operator, so parts in a bin or on a pallet come to the worker instead of the worker bending into the bin. A selector lets the operator choose whether the foot pump lifts or tilts, on the same pedal.
Quoted as one configuration: 1000 lb capacity, 35.5" x 19.5" platform, 45 degree tilt, 15" lowered to 32" raised.
Key Features
- Sequence select: one foot pedal lifts, then tilts, without changing pedals
- 45 degree tilt brings the load to the operator
- Two rigid and two swivel polyurethane casters with floor lock
- Steel platform with a formed lip on the low side to hold containers
Common Applications
- Feeding parts from bins and gaylords at a workstation
- Assembly cells where the operator reaches into a container all shift
- Kitting and order picking
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the platform lift without tilting?
Yes. The sequence selector lets the operator lift only, or lift and then tilt.
Does it need power?
No. Lift and tilt are both foot-pump hydraulic.
