Abstract
A drop table system can intelligently provide truck assembly movement with a controller connected to at least one lifting column and a single inclinometer with the inclinometer positioned at a geometric center of a drop table platform. The drop table platform can be suspended with the at least one lifting column prior to a detection of drop table platform tilt with the inclinometer. The tilt may be corrected by altering operation of the at least one lifting column to orient the drop table platform in a level configuration.
