Overview
Handling Specialty helped pioneer the modern automotive assembly line in the early 80s with the development of ergonomic and efficient skillet lifts for the North American auto industry. The lift allows the vehicle to be raised and lowered by foot controls. As the line moves, employees adjust each vehicle’s height to their own ergonomic requirements.
This lift application was extremely successful. Handling Specialty went on to custom engineer and manufacture variations of the skillet lift for the Big Three automakers for many years and continues to manufacture various lifts for the auto industry to this day.
