Bishamon UniLift Forklift & Pallet Positioner
Bishamon UNILIFT™ Pallet Lifter / Pallet Transporter / Work Positioner”
The Bishamon UniLift® is a versatile electric pallet handler and high-lift pallet jack designed to lift, transport, and position standard pallets without straddling the load. Featuring deployable outriggers, the UniLift works with GMA pallets, CHEP pallets, and skids, making it a highly adaptable solution for warehouses, production facilities, distribution centers, and other industrial material handling environments. With a lifting capacity of up to 2,000 lbs. and raised heights up to 36 inches unloaded, this compact electric pallet lift helps improve ergonomics, reduce manual handling, and support safer load positioning.
Engineered for smooth mobility and efficient pallet transport, the UniLift features high-quality polyurethane wheels that allow operators to move loads easily across warehouse floors, narrow aisles, and tight workspaces. For operations seeking a compact forklift alternative, multi-fork pallet lifter, or powered high-lift skid jack, the Bishamon UniLift combines lifting, positioning, and transport functionality in one battery-powered unit—helping streamline workflows while reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment.
Powered by a 24V DC battery system with an onboard automatic charger, the UniLift is built for dependable performance in demanding pallet handling applications. Electro-mechanical outrigger actuation and integrated position sensors support precise, controlled operation, while the intuitive operator console includes convenient fork raise and lower controls along with LED battery status indicators. Designed for ease of use, operator safety, and long-term efficiency, this electric pallet handler helps teams lift smarter, move materials faster, and improve productivity across warehouse and industrial workflows.
For facilities that need improved pallet access without the size, cost, or floor-space requirements of a traditional forklift, the UniLift provides a practical ergonomic material handling solution. Its combination of lift height, compact maneuverability, broad pallet compatibility, and battery-powered operation makes it ideal for repetitive pallet loading, unloading, staging, assembly, and workstation tasks.
