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.

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.
