Accessories for lifting tables: Retrofit safely & work smarter
Many options can be retrofitted – some should be considered when ordering the lifting table. Accessories often become necessary when the standard version is no longer sufficient or when regulatory requirements need to be met.
When is it worth buying accessories? If processes need to be accelerated (rotating, feeding, preventing unwinding) or if safety and regulatory requirements demand it, many options can be retrofitted, but some should be planned in advance – we'd be happy to advise you.
Retrofittable
Many options can also be integrated later – ideal for process optimization.
Compliant with standards
Targeted equipment when requirements apply (e.g., underrun protection/fall protection).
Process advantage
Less repositioning, better ergonomics, less downtime through protection of mechanics/environment.
Bellows as underflow protection
As a robust alternative to PVC roller blinds or protective grilles, the surrounding bellows protects the operator as well as the scissor mechanism and cylinder from dirt and environmental influences.
- Increased security: Underrun protection is possible all around.
- Increased lifespan: Protection for mechanics/cylinder.
- Retrofittable: Check space requirements on the customer's side.
Turntable / rotating disc (up to 360°)
If "just lifting" is not enough: Rotating platforms can be mounted on almost all models and allow manual rotation of pallets/wire mesh boxes by up to 360°.
- Ergonomic access: Rotate the product into a working position.
- Variants: round (within the platform) or square (lift flush).
Railings & Gates (Fall Protection)
If lifting platforms are accessible and the stroke exceeds 500 mm, they must be equipped with fall protection. Railings/gates can be welded, bolted, or plug-in; gates can optionally be equipped with an electrical contact.
- Compliant with standards: Safety measures for accessible platforms.
- Individually: Lengths and shapes are customizable.

Quick check: What should you clarify beforehand?
The following information will help ensure that accessories are implemented in a standard-compliant and practical manner:
- Accessibility: Will the lifting platform be accessed? (Fall protection required for lift heights > 500 mm)
- Vicinity: Dirt/moisture/temperature → Selection of underflow protection
- Loading/Unloading: Pallet truck, roller conveyor, truck bridging (flaps/ramps)
- Process: Rotation/Positioning/Weighing/Automation → Turntable/Scale/Sensors
- Retrofitting: Check the installation location (especially for underrun protection and the power unit)
