Pallet Positioner

Good Morning keepers of all knowledge...

I am working on a project for work and trying to come up with a solution that someone here has probably been through before. We have about a dozen mailing machines that use different envelopes throughout the day. Right now the envelopes are delivered on a skid to the machine, and the operator has to pull the stock from the pallet throughout the day. As the jobs run, the level gets lower, requiring the operators to bend down and pick up the boxes.

I am looking at equipment like this.

They work great, I think this is what they are:

Pitney Bowes?

Yes, and one misplaced gunther.

Is the pallet dropped by a forklift or does it drop low enough for a pallet jack?
