The Presto Lifts AX Series is a standard-duty pneumatic scissor lift table raised by a heavy-duty airbag. It needs no electricity and runs anywhere shop air is available. With no hydraulic fluid there is no risk of process contamination, and there is less to maintain than on a hydraulic lift.
Eleven models cover 1000, 2000 and 4000 lbs on platforms from 36″ x 48″ to 48″ x 60″. All lower to 8″. AX10 models raise to 29″ and AX20 and AX40 models to 32″.

How to Choose the Right Pneumatic Scissor Lift Table
Pick capacity first: AX10 for 1000 lbs, AX20 for 2000 lbs, AX40 for 4000 lbs. The AX10 travels 21″ to 29″; the AX20 and AX40 travel 24″ to 32″.
Then pick the platform: 36″ x 48″, 48″ x 48″, 48″ x 56″ or 48″ x 60″ (the AX40 starts at 48″ x 48″). If you need more than 4000 lbs or do not want to lag the lift to the floor, look at the heavy-duty AXS Series.

- 330 to 1760 lbs capacity
- 23.6" x 39.4" max platform
- 49.8" raised height (A-350W)
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 |
The Dandy family also includes the DLV self-leveling Dandy Levelers and the M-500L pallet and skid lifter transporter. Ask us if one of those is the better fit.

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.

Every Southworth model on this page is quoted to your configuration, so tell us the load, the platform size and the working height you need and we will spec it.
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.
