The Southworth GLSA Series pneumatic lift table runs anywhere shop air is available. With no hydraulic fluid there is no risk of oil contaminating your process. Southworth uses Firestone air spring actuators rather than vinyl air bags.

Two standard models lift 2000 or 4000 lbs through 24″ of travel, from 8″ lowered to 32″ raised. Platforms can be enlarged up to 48″ x 60″ on the GLSA2-24 and 60″ x 60″ on the GLSA4-24.

Southworth GLSA Series Specifications

Model Capacity Std Platform Max Platform Lowered Raised Travel Air Ship Weight
GLSA2-24 2000 lbs 36″ x 48″ 48″ x 60″ 8″ 32″ 24″ 80 psi / 15 cfm 650 lbs
GLSA4-24 4000 lbs 48″ x 48″ 60″ x 60″ 8″ 32″ 24″ 80 psi / 15 cfm 800 lbs

Elevating time is about 15 seconds empty. Southworth rates capacity and speed at 80 psi and 80 cfm free air; capacity and speed depend on your plant air supply.

Key Features

  • Firestone air spring actuators rather than vinyl air bags
  • Pressure safety relief valve so overloading will not burst the air bag
  • Non-adjustable safety orifice controls down speed, even if an air line ruptures
  • Optional industrial dampers for smooth movement when loads are dropped on
  • Designed with a 3 to 1 safety factor; manual states compliance with ANSI MH29
  • No hydraulic fluid – no contamination risk

Common Applications

  • Food, pharmaceutical and clean processes where oil is not wanted
  • Stations with shop air but no convenient electrical drop
  • Pallet and container positioning at packing lines
  • Assembly and kitting work positioning
  • Short-travel lifting where two positions are enough

How to Choose the Right Pneumatic Lift Table

Pick the GLSA2-24 for loads to 2000 lbs on a 36″ x 48″ deck, or the GLSA4-24 for loads to 4000 lbs on a 48″ x 48″ deck. Both raise from 8″ to 32″.

Check your air supply. Southworth specifies 80 psi at 15 cfm. Lower pressure reduces capacity and lower flow slows the lift, so plan for a dedicated regulated line if the plant air is shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

What air supply does the GLSA need?

80 psi at 15 cfm free air, per the Southworth spec table.

How fast does it rise?

About 15 seconds empty. Southworth’s manual lists about 30 seconds to raise loaded. Speed depends on the cfm available.

Can overloading burst the air bag?

No. Southworth fits a pressure safety relief valve so overloading will not burst the air bag.

What happens if an air line breaks?

A safety orifice controls down speed, so the lift descends at about the normal rate.
