Table automation.
Work tables and material handling surfaces built for the mattress floor.
The table category
What work tables do on the floor.
Work tables and material handling surfaces are the connective tissue of a mattress floor: the staging tables, transfer surfaces, roller beds, and turning stations that hold a mattress or panel between the sewing operations and move it from one to the next. They are unglamorous, but a line with the wrong surfaces at the wrong heights fights gravity and the operator at every handoff.
The category includes fixed and height adjustable work tables, powered and gravity roller conveyors, air float tables that let an operator slide a heavy mattress with little effort, and turning and transfer stations that reposition a unit between operations. They differ by load rating, surface type, whether they are powered, and how they index a part into the next machine.
Tables and handling surfaces sit between every station, so their heights and transfer method determine how smoothly the line flows and how much lifting an operator does across a shift. Choosing them means matching surface type and height to the operation on either side, the weight and size of what moves across them, and whether a passive surface or powered handling suits the pace of that part of the line.

Choosing a machine
How to choose work tables and handling.
The variables that decide which station fits your line. Tell us where you land on each and we will point you to the right machine.
- Surface type
Fixed table, roller bed, air float, or a powered transfer surface.
- Load and size
The weight and dimensions of the mattress or panel the surface carries.
- Working height
Set to the operations on either side so handoffs do not fight the operator.
- Powered or passive
Gravity and manual handling, or powered indexing into the next station.
