Abstract
A low profile lift apparatus including a lift platform which accommodates manufactured product on a support surface thereof and elevationally lifts the manufactured product to a vertical level or elevation generally coplanar with an elevated surface on an adjacent pallet is disclosed. The low profile lift apparatus includes a base adapted to rest on a floor with the lift platform interconnected to the base for movement between raised and lowered positions. In a lowered position, a lower surface of the lift platform rests on the floor to provide the lift assembly with a low profile. The lift apparatus of the present invention further includes an apparatus for moving the platform relative to said base. Such apparatus preferably includes circuitry for selectively moving the lift platform in a controlled fashion relative to the base.
