OHAUS CLR-LBLFTS008 Heavy-Duty Laboratory Lift Table

Overview

The OHAUS CLR-LBLFTS008 Heavy-Duty Laboratory Lift Table is an engineered mechanical elevation platform designed for precise, repeatable vertical positioning of high-mass laboratory equipment in demanding research, quality control, and production environments. Unlike motorized or pneumatic lift systems, this unit operates on a manually actuated, gear-reinforced screw-jack mechanism—ensuring zero power dependency, intrinsic mechanical stability, and full positional lock at any height within its travel range. Constructed entirely from electropolished 316 stainless steel, the platform meets stringent requirements for corrosion resistance, cleanability, and structural integrity under static loads exceeding 100 kg (220 lb). Its design prioritizes long-term dimensional stability, minimal deflection under load, and compatibility with regulated workflows where non-electrical, contamination-controlled operation is mandated—such as ISO Class 5–7 cleanrooms, GLP-compliant analytical labs, and pharmaceutical process development suites.

Key Features

• Monolithic 316 stainless steel frame and platform surface—resistant to aggressive solvents, oxidizing agents, and repeated autoclaving cycles (up to 134 °C, 2 bar saturated steam)
• Ergonomically oversized knurled adjustment knob providing mechanical advantage for smooth, controlled height modulation without slippage or backlash
• Integrated precision-machined Acme-thread lead screw with hardened steel nut—designed for >50,000 operational cycles with <0.05 mm cumulative axial play
• Fixed-height base with pre-drilled mounting holes (M6) for permanent benchtop or fume hood integration
• No electrical components, sensors, or lubricants—eliminating EMI interference, calibration drift, and maintenance-related downtime
• Seven standard platform dimensions available (ranging from 200 × 250 mm to 400 × 600 mm), all retaining identical load capacity and travel specifications

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The CLR-LBLFTS008 accommodates a broad spectrum of laboratory hardware—including hot plates, recirculating water baths, magnetic stirrers, glass reactor vessels (up to 20 L), and modular weighing stations. Its inert surface supports direct placement of borosilicate glassware, PTFE-coated vessels, and stainless-steel sample holders without risk of galvanic corrosion or surface adhesion. From a regulatory standpoint, the unit complies with ASTM F2799-22 (Standard Specification for Laboratory Furniture Structural Performance) and aligns with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 clause 6.4.2 regarding environmental condition control and equipment suitability. Its material certification (EN 10088-1, ASTM A240) and absence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) support compliance with USP , EU GMP Annex 1, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11–governed documentation practices when integrated into validated processes.

Software & Data Management

This is a purely mechanical device with no embedded electronics, firmware, or digital interface. Consequently, it requires no software installation, network configuration, or cybersecurity validation. All operational parameters—including height position, load mass, and usage frequency—are recorded manually in lab notebooks or integrated into existing LIMS or ELN systems via user-defined metadata fields. For audit readiness, OHAUS provides a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) with each unit, including batch-specific material traceability, dimensional inspection reports, and sterilization cycle validation summaries upon request—supporting GLP/GMP traceability requirements without reliance on electronic audit trails.

Applications

• Adjustable-height staging for gravimetric analysis setups requiring consistent sample-to-balance alignment across multiple operators
• Vertical repositioning of heating mantles and reflux condensers in synthetic chemistry workflows to optimize thermal gradient control
• Height-matched integration of peristaltic pumps, fraction collectors, and HPLC modules within modular purification systems
• Stable elevation platform for optical alignment of spectrophotometers, interferometers, or laser-based particle characterization instruments
• Reconfigurable support structure in cell culture facilities—enabling ergonomic access to biosafety cabinets while maintaining ISO 5 airflow integrity

FAQ

Is the CLR-LBLFTS008 compatible with autoclave sterilization?
Yes—its fully welded 316 stainless steel construction is rated for repeated exposure to standard gravity-displacement and prevacuum autoclave cycles (121–134 °C, ≤2 bar).
Does OHAUS provide load-deflection test data for this model?
Yes—deflection under maximum rated load (100 kg) is ≤0.12 mm across the full platform span, measured per ASTM E122-22 protocols using calibrated LVDT transducers.
Can the lift table be anchored to a fume hood interior?
Yes—the base includes countersunk M6 threaded inserts compatible with standard fume hood mounting brackets; installation must maintain minimum 150 mm clearance from hood sash travel path.
Are custom platform sizes or height ranges available?
OHAUS offers OEM customization including non-standard dimensions, extended travel (±25 mm), and optional T-slot grooving—subject to minimum order quantities and engineering review.
What maintenance is required over its service life?
No scheduled maintenance is required. Periodic visual inspection for thread wear and cleaning with 70% ethanol or 1% citric acid solution is recommended after chemical exposure.
