Types of positioning equipment include but are not limited to : Lift/tilt/turntable, ball transfer table, rotary index table, parts feeder, dock leveler, air film device, manipulator, hoist, and balancers, encompassing different functions as explained below.Lift/tilt/turntable is used when you need to position an object by lifting, tilting or turning. The advantage of this positioning equipment is that it reduces the amount of stooping or bending down as it is with manual methods. Ball transfer table is used when objects are needed to be correctly rotated or positioned or where for example, products are needed to be transferred for packaging from one conveyor line to another. The advantage with this equipment is that it makes handling of products quicker and easier. Rotary index table is known for its synchronicity. Its function and advantage is to move small parts of objects in a rotational and synchronized manner to different work stations.

While dock levelers are used to bridge the height gap between a truck bed and a dock, Air film film devices can be used to substitute other positioning equipment like hoists and cranes which all function to give precise and accurate positioning of heavy loads. Positioning equipment like balancers and manipulators are identical in their functions, in that they both act as support systems for the work operators and also serve as a counterbalance in weights, helping the operators to only have to lift a portion or part of the lord’s weight.

In general, the benefits of using positioning equipment greatly outweighs manual handling. They include: increases productivity of workers at the workplace as a result of high handling frequently.
