Port-A-Lift Headstock & Tailstock
The Key Plant Automation PAL15 Headstock & Tailstock is a testament to durability and performance. Whether you’re welding, fabricating or assemblying; the Port-A-Lift system is your key to enhanced flexibility, safety, and productivity.
At the core of the PAL15’s capabilities is an innovative design that smoothly elevates the head and tailstock. This is achieved through a hardened stainless-steel screw with a low-friction re-circulating ball screw and nut, all electrically synchronised for precise rotation.
