Whiting Corporation: Drop Tables

Whiting Corporation

Whiting was a pioneer in the development of the Drop Table concept. Known for their reliable and safe operation, Drop Tables are available for either single axle or full truck removal. Whiting’s Drop Tables are designed for pits with 4 to 26 foot widths with capacities up to 125 tons. Wheel set change outs are quick, efficient, and cost effective because of Whiting’s time-tested designs. Key features include: Operator Console - Whiting Drop Tables feature a remote console so the operator does not need to be close to the table during operation.Customized Capacity - Whiting has installations now operating in 4 to 26 foot wide pits with lifting capacities ranging from 20 to 125 tons across North America.Self-Locking Jack Screws - Whiting’s Drop Table design features self-locking jack screws that remain stationary in the event of a drive mechanism malfunction.Release Track Top - Equipment installations can include a release track top, which can be designed as a lift-off or bascule-type door. Rugged Components - Drop Tables feature welded steel construction, splash lubricated gearing, sealed bearings, and self-locking screws and nuts.
