WP 85
https://leanproducts.eu/shop/wp-85-1793 https://leanproducts.eu/web/image/product.template/1793/image_1920?unique=d0a6f66The WP 85 is an electric work positioner with a maximum capacity of 85 kg (at 400 mm from the mast) and a lifting speed of 120 mm/s, available in steel and stainless steel for food, pharmaceutical or chemical environments. It offers three mast heights (stroke 1220, 1600 or 2050 mm) and three base configurations, adapting to different workstations. Standard equipment includes 24 V / 9 Ah AGM batteries with an external 230 V charger and the WPR-R1 ergonomic handle with remote control. Quiet operation and manoeuvrability make it suitable for continuous use in production environments with around 100-200 cycles per shift.

Up to 85 kg, with the load’s centre of gravity 400 mm from the mast. The stroke is 1220, 1600 or 2050 mm depending on the mast (S, M or L). If the load reaches 125 kg or you need electric grippers, there is the WP 125; if 65 kg and a 1600 mm stroke are enough, the WP 65.
The 2 standard AGM batteries (24 V – 9 Ah) charge to 100% in 7.5 hours with the external charger; 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, reel and drum grippers and the crane arm are fixed to the tool carriage with M6 screws. With the WPR-A-0001-SS quick change you swap them in a few seconds, on your own, without unscrewing them; to line up the load without moving the trolley there is the ±200 mm lateral translator (WPR-A-0006).
There are two bases: standard legs 500 or 650 mm long and 486 mm wide, or central legs 500 mm long with a narrow 146 mm base, which let you get closer to benches and shelves.
It is pushed by hand using the ErgoControl handle, with Ø 125 mm rear wheels with brakes; a central brake is available on request (WPR-O-0021). 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.
