Southworth LS Series Plus Hydraulic Scissor Lift Table – 2000 to 12000 lb Capacity

The Southworth LS Series Plus is the step up from the Backsaver LS line when you need more capacity or a bigger platform. Capacities reach 12000 lbs, travel reaches 84 inches and platforms go up to 60″ x 156″ on standard bases.

LS Series Wide Base models (W suffix) carry the same capacities on wider bases, with maximum platforms up to 96″ x 156″. Most models use a 3.2 HP, 460/3/60 power unit; a 1 HP single-phase unit is available at a slower rise time.

How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Scissor Lift Table

Match travel to your working height. The -36 models raise to 45 or 46″, the -60 models to 68-70″ and the -84 models to 94-98″. Capacity at the tallest travel tops out at 6000 lbs; 8000 to 12000 lbs models have 36 to 60 inches of travel.

Pick a W (wide base) model when the load is wide or when you need a platform larger than the standard base supports. Wide base models accept maximum platforms up to 96″ x 156″ versus 60″ x 156″ on standard bases.
