INTRODUCTION The P3 All Around Pallet Positioner is a simple device that will automatically maintain a load at the ideal height for manual loading and unloading. If a palletized load is placed on the unit, the unit gradually rises as boxes or parts are removed. This automatically maintains the top of the load at the correct working height. The unit may also be used for the reverse application. An empty pallet may be placed on the P3 (P3 All Around Pallet Positioner).
