Cat® Mobile Double Scissor Lift Table Features
Engineered for warehouse, distribution center, and manufacturing environments where loads must reach working heights that single-scissor models cannot achieve, the Cat® scissor lift table (WB641687) uses a double scissor mechanism to raise a 39-7/10 by 22-4/5 inch platform to 59 inches — nearly 5 feet — while supporting up to 1,500 pounds. A foot-operated hydraulic pump with direct control height adjustment provides smooth, precise lifting with no air supply or electrical connection required. Heavy gauge steel channel frame construction, a chip-resistant powder-coat finish, and Cat®'s 5-year standard warranty back continuous industrial use across the full lift range.
For facilities comparing Cat® mobile lift tables across the WB641686–WB641689 family, the WB641687 is the high-reach model: 59 inches raised versus 35 inches on the heavy-duty 3,000-pound WB641688, or 53 inches on the long-deck 3,000-pound WB641686. Polyurethane casters rated for durable floor-safe mobility allow repositioning between workstations without tool changes. ANSI MH29.1-2020 compliance provides safety certification documentation for facilities with procurement or insurance requirements.

Applications
To reach truck bed height, mezzanine transfer points, elevated machine infeeds, and high-assembly work positions that standard lift tables cannot access, the Cat® WB641687 double scissor is deployed in distribution center receiving and outbound shipping docks, fulfillment center pick operations involving elevated shelving, manufacturing assembly lines where components feed at heights above 47 inches, and maintenance operations requiring tools and parts staged at working heights for overhead equipment access. At 1,500 pounds capacity, it handles most unit-load and component-positioning applications within those environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications is the Cat® WB641687 double scissor lift table designed for?
The Cat® WB641687 double scissor mechanism provides 59 inches of raised height — significantly higher than single scissor models that typically top out at 35 to 47 inches. At 59 inches, the table is designed for applications requiring high-position work: loading and unloading from truck beds, staging loads at mezzanine transfer points, machine feeding at elevated infeed heights, and ergonomic positioning of tall assemblies or components during manufacturing. The 1,500-pound capacity and mobile polyurethane casters make it practical for repositioning between workstations throughout a shift.
Why does the Cat® mobile lift table carry a 5-year warranty?
Cat® backs all four models in the WB641686–WB641689 mobile scissor lift table family with a standard 5-year warranty, reflecting the heavy gauge steel channel frame construction and direct-control hydraulic system engineered for continuous industrial use. Where most competitor mobile lift tables carry 1-year warranties, the Cat® 5-year coverage signals both the build quality of the equipment and Cat's confidence in long-term reliability for warehouse, distribution center, and manufacturing environments.
Does the Cat® WB641687 meet ANSI safety standards?
Yes. The Cat® WB641687 is certified to ANSI standard MH29.1-2020, the American National Standard for Safety Requirements for Stationary and Mobile Material Handling Equipment Lift Tables. ANSI MH29.1-2020 compliance governs safety design requirements for hydraulic lift table construction, overload protection, stability, and control systems — providing documentation that the Cat® WB641687 meets established safety engineering requirements for its rated 1,500-pound capacity.
What is the difference between the Cat® WB641687 and Cat® WB641688?
The WB641687 and WB641688 share the same 39-7/10-by-22-4/5-inch platform dimensions within the Cat® mobile scissor lift table family. Their key difference is the scissor mechanism and resulting performance profile: the WB641687 uses a double scissor to reach 59 inches raised height at 1,500-pound capacity, while the WB641688 uses a heavy-duty single scissor to reach 35 inches raised height at 3,000-pound capacity. Choose the WB641687 for maximum height; choose the WB641688 for maximum load capacity.
Cat® Mobile Scissor Lift Table Family
The Cat® WB641687 is part of the Cat® mobile scissor lift table family alongside the WB641688 (heavy-duty 3,000 lb single scissor, 35" raised), the WB641686 (long deck 3,000 lb, 80×30" platform, 53" raised), and the WB641689.
