80–100 mm • Pallet truck • without pit

Low-profile tables: Extremely low profile

Flat lifting tables with a very low overall height – ideal for placing pallets directly onto the pallet truck and quickly bringing them to an ergonomic working height.

Low-profile lift table (flat-profile lift table) with low overall height
Very low
Often only about 80–100 mm height when retracted.
Without a large pit
Depending on the model, a small pit or a ramp is sufficient.
EN 1570-1
Perimeter safety strip as crush protection under the platform.

What is a low-profile lift table? A very low-profile scissor lift table that accommodates pallets/loads without the need for complex pit installation – making the workplace more ergonomic and efficient.

ergonomics

Less bending, better reach – especially in warehousing/logistics.

Easy handling

Positioning/driving onto the platform with a pallet truck – depending on the platform shape.

Industrial quality

Robust design, optional special solutions & accessories available.

Flat lifting table with closed platform

Flat lifting table with closed platform

The design is similar to a classic single-scissor lift table – but with a significantly lower overall height (typically around 80–120 mm). For level loading, a small pit or a ramp is often sufficient.

  • Height: approx. 80-120 mm (depending on model).
  • Mission: Pallets, trolleys, individual parts – very versatile.
U-shaped flat lift table

U-shaped flat lift table

The most popular option: Open area for the pallet truck forks – simply drive the pallet on and set it down, often even without a pit. Available as standard with capacities of 1000 kg (TUL 1000) and 2000 kg (TUL 2000).

  • pallet truck friendly: Forks fit into the recess.
  • Load capacity: 1000 kg / 2000 kg in the standard range.
Low-profile table with electric platform

Low-profile table with electric platform

For unevenly loaded cargoes or unstable disposable pallets: The center web rests fully on the pallet. Frequently available: TUB models with a 600 kg capacity (other load capacities available upon request).

  • More stable: Improved support for the pallet's center section.
  • Load capacity: Typical 600 kg (others on request).

Unit & Control

In flat lifting tables, the hydraulic unit is usually integrated into the design. external placed and by default via a 3 m cable tied together.

Safety according to EN 1570-1

All models prioritize safety: among other things, a surrounding safety strip as crush protection under the platform and design according to EN 1570-1.

C-models vs. T-models

  • C-models (in stock): Fast shipping. Example: CUB 1000 (1000 kg, platform 1450×1085 mm, stroke 80–800 mm). A maximum number of strokes per hour is specified for this series.
  • T-models (customer request): For higher cycle times, they are manufactured on request and can be extensively combined with accessories.

Special solutions & accessories

Larger platform, greater lifting capacity, or higher load capacity – custom solutions are possible. Accessories such as Turntables, railing, Ramps, Protective blinds, Bellows or chassis is available upon request.

Frequently asked questions about flat lifting tables

Important details for planning and purchasing your low-profile lifting table.

What exactly is a flat lift table?
A low-profile scissor lift table is a very low-profile scissor lift table (often approximately...). 80–100 mm), which can often be used without a large pit in the ground.
How does it differ from „normal“ lift tables?
Low-profile lift tables are optimized for low installation height and moderate lifting distances. Classic scissor lift tables achieve significantly greater lifting heights, depending on the design.
How low is the minimum building height really?
Many models are around 80–100 mm, some slightly more – depending on load capacity, platform shape and lifting range.
Do I necessarily need a pit - or is a ramp enough?
A pit is not absolutely necessary. Often a suitable [solution] is used. Access ramp used; alternatively, sometimes a small pit is sufficient.
Which platform shape makes sense (closed, U- or E-shape)?
U/E These are ideal for pallet jacks (forks drive into the recess). Closed platform Suitable if the vehicle/parts are to stand on their entire surface.
What load capacities are usual?
Depending on the series/platform type, approximately 600–2000 kg. Further load capacities are possible for special constructions.
Which power connection do I need - 230 V or 400 V?
Both are possible. Smaller/standardized versions are sometimes available with 230 V, while many industrial versions run on 3-phase power at 400 V. The model's datasheet is the definitive source.
How fast does a flat lift table lift?
Model and load dependent: as a rough practical guide, lifting cycles are often in the range approximately 17–40 seconds; the exact values are in the datasheet.
Which security features are mandatory?
In Europe, the EN 1570-1; typical features include safety edges/foot protection, emergency stop and dead man's switch (depending on the model).
Does the table need to be anchored to the floor?
Stationary models should (depending on the manufacturer: must) be firmly screwed to the floor to ensure stable and compliant operation.
Where is the unit located - internally or externally?
In ultra-flat designs, the drive unit is often external positioned – this keeps the building height low and facilitates servicing.
Are there also mobile solutions?
Classic low-profile lift tables are generally stationary. Lift table trolleys are available for mobility – but these usually have lower load capacities.
What does a lift table cost?
Depending on the model, load capacity, platform size, and lifting range. Entry-level prices vary; features and custom builds significantly affect the price.
Can you build a lift table yourself?
In principle, yes, but CE conformity, documentation, and testing are very time-consuming. Often, buying is faster and more economical.
How do I find the right load capacity?
Use the maximum weight plus safety margin as a guide and take the load distribution into account – the rated load must be safely absorbed even under a distributed load.
