The PK50S and the PK53 use a lift-up type entrance gate

The new model the PK50S uses a version of the company’s aluminium mast and all alloy platform. The ultra compact unit measures just 750 mm wide by a metre long and weighs just 290kgs – lower than some push around lifts. One trade-off for this low weight is that drive is cut-out above two metres platform height.
