Portable Battery Powered Bowl Lifts That Are Easy to Use Day in Day Out.

The Knead-a-Lift DB models and DL models are portable battery powered with U1 AGM sealed Deep Cycle battery and come with battery charger. This battery typically will run one whole week in normal bakeries and food services. We advise determining the number of cycles an owner will use and if they can run one whole week then make it a routine like weekends to recharge the battery to make sure they will always have power when they need it in production. The Knead-a-Lift UnderTable model uses 120 VAC power, has a 9 foot power cord for nearby receptacle, turn on power it is ready to go.
