Why choose it

The load at the right height

The motor lifts at 120 mm/s: the operator does not bend over or carry the weight.

One trolley, many tools

Platforms, forks, booms, grippers and crane arms on the tool carriage.

Steel or stainless steel

Painted steel IP44 or 304L stainless steel IP65 for food and pharmaceutical use.

Easy to use

Handle with up and down button, soft start and charge indicator.

Choose it if…

you move boxes, crates or reels up to 55 kg
an up and down control is all you need
you need a narrow or angled base to get close to benches and shelves
a stroke of up to 1600 mm is enough

Choose another model if…

if you want the ErgoControl handle with remote control WP 65 →
if the load exceeds 55 kg or you need a stroke of up to 2050 mm WP 85 →
if you need a compact trolley with top included for a shop or office WP ONE →

Up to 55 kg, with the load’s centre of gravity 400 mm from the mast. The stroke depends on the mast: 965 mm with XS, 1200 mm with S and 1600 mm with M. If the load is over 55 kg or you need a stroke of up to 2050 mm, there is the WP 85; if you want a remote control, the WP 65.

The 2 standard AGM batteries (24 V – 9 Ah) charge to 100% in 7.5 hours with the external charger, and the charge level is shown on the handle; the trolley must not be used while charging. On request there are lithium batteries (WPR-O-0004), which charge faster, or a removable battery pack with charging station (WPR-O-0039) and extra packs to swap.

Yes: platforms, forks, booms, core grippers and the crane arm are fixed to the tool carriage with M6 screws. With the WPR-A-0001-SS quick change the trolley part stays on the WP 55 and a tool part (WPR-A-0002-SS) is fitted to each tool: you change it in a few seconds, on your own, without unscrewing it.

There are three bases: standard legs 430 mm long and 476 mm wide, central legs with a narrow 422 × 144 mm base and angled legs 400 × 380 mm. The central and angled legs let you get closer to benches and shelves.

It is pushed by hand using the handle, on a Ø 75 mm swivel front wheel and Ø 125 mm rear wheels with brakes; a central brake is available on request (WPR-O-0020). With a load it must be moved slowly and in the low position, on a level floor: the maximum slope is 5% fully loaded and 15% unloaded.

Among the documents you can download from this page: the user manual in Italian and English and the technical drawing. The wiring diagram is on page 24 of the manual, right after the spare parts list.

A work positioner: the battery-powered electric lifter that lifts, carries and positions the part at the push of a button, with the right tool for the load: platform, forks, boom, gripper or crane arm. Capacities range from 55 to 285 kg.

With a work positioner and the right tool: the boom goes into the core of the reel, the gripper clamps it from the outside, and there is also an electric gripper that turns it through 90°. For drums there is the manual front tilting gripper, which lifts and tilts them with a handwheel.

From four things: part weight, how you pick it up (which tool you need), stroke and working environment. The capacity applies with the centre of gravity 400 mm from the mast, tool included; the work positioner buying guide, with its 4-question selector, shows you the suitable models and tools.

Yes, in the stainless steel version: work positioner and tools in 304L stainless steel with IP 65 protection, from WP 55 to WP 285, for the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Stainless units take tools in the SS version; the WP ONE comes in IP 44 steel only.

Overload protection stops lifting if the load is too heavy and the anti-crush system stops lowering if it meets an obstacle; there is also a reinforced toothed belt, shielded moving parts, soft start and stop and an emergency stop on the control unit. It must not be used to lift people.

Every 6 months the belt, fixing screws and batteries are checked; once a year the mechanical and electrical parts, by authorised staff. Charge the battery at least once or twice a week, even with occasional use, and every 6 months if the work positioner is not used.
