Lifting table trolley: Lifting and transporting in one

Lifting platform trolleys or lifting table trolleys are mobile scissor lift tables with a chassis. They are ideal when goods not only need to be lifted but also moved within the company.

Mobile
Chassis/wheels for flexible locations.
Lifting via pedal or button
Foot pedal (manual) or push button (battery operated).
Many models in stock
Short delivery times, custom designs possible.

What makes lifting table trolleys so practical? They combine the advantages of pallet trucks and stationary lifting tables: picking up loads, moving them, and raising them to working height. Standard models cover different load capacities and platform sizes – if standard isn't sufficient, custom designs are available.

Load capacity & platform

Many mobile models up to approximately... 1000 kg, platforms up to 1600 × 800 mm.

Manual or electric

Foot pump for occasional use – electric for frequent cycles and heavy loads.

Process advantage

Less moving, more ergonomics: transport and work table in one.

Lifting table trolley / lifting platform trolley

Lifting table trolley / lifting platform trolley

Mobile scissor lift table with stable platform and chassis – mobile and not tied to a workplace.

  • Ideal for internal routes and as a mobile work table.
  • Smooth running thanks to suitable rollers on the base frame.
Electric lifting table trolley (example)

Electric lift table trolleys

Electric lifting saves effort and time – especially with heavy loads or greater lifting heights. Lifting to the desired working height at the touch of a button.

  • Perfect for frequent cycles (assembly/logistics).
  • Improved ergonomics: less pumping, more precise positioning.
Manual lifting table trolley with foot pump (example)

Manual lift table trolleys with foot pump

Affordable, robust and available at short notice: Lifting/lowering and moving are done purely manually – without battery or power connection.

  • A good choice for occasional lifts of small to medium loads.
  • Flexible lifting solution for transport and working height.
Lifting table trolley 1000 kg (example)

Super stable electric lift table trolley

Example from the program: EZ 1001B with 1000 kg load capacity and platform 900 × 800 mm – electric lifting at the touch of a button.

  • High load-bearing capacity for heavy workpieces/palletized goods.
  • Efficient for frequent lifting to working height.

Brief overview: Selection criteria for lifting table trolleys

To help you quickly find the right model – the most important parameters for an accurate design.

  • Load capacity (including peak load): Plan for a reserve, consider partial load/eccentricity
  • Stroke range: required working height + safety reserve
  • Platform dimensions: e.g. up to 1600 × 800 mm in standard programs
  • Manual vs. electric: depending on cycles/shift and load
  • Ground/Roads: Wheel type, thrust, avoid gradients
  • Equipment: Superstructures, roller conveyors/ball rollers, special chassis, double scissor lifts, and much more.

Frequently asked questions about lift table trolleys

Answers regarding selection, safety, and practical application.

What is the difference between a lift table trolley and a stationary lift table?
A lift table trolley is mobile and combines lifting and transport, whereas stationary lift tables are permanently mounted. The trolley therefore serves as a mobile work table and for internal transport.
What load capacity do I really need?
Determine your peak load and plan for reserves. For partial loads (e.g., only half the platform length), the trolley often needs additional capacity. Many mobile models cover loads up to approximately 1,000 kg; above that, stationary or custom-designed solutions are common.
Manual or electric - what makes sense?
Manual: cheaper, robust, for occasional lifts of small to medium loads. Electric: saves effort, lifts more precisely, and is the better choice for frequent cycles or heavier loads.
Can people enter a lift table trolley?
Lifting platform trolleys are designed for goods, not for people. Whether access/transport of people is permitted is governed by the manufacturer's approval and the design according to EN 1570-1. Without explicit approval: no.
Which standards and safety requirements apply?
The relevant standard is EN 1570-1 (DIN EN 1570-1), current edition 2024. It defines, among other things, design safety requirements, operating limits and protective devices.
How heavy can a mobile lift table actually be pushed?
Depending on the vehicle's weight, load, wheel type, and surface. Properly sized wheels and a level surface significantly reduce the required pushing force. For long distances or frequent trips, an electric drive is often worthwhile.
What happens with eccentric/partial loading?
Partial loading puts an asymmetrical load on the scissor mechanism; many manufacturers then require higher load-bearing capacity reserves. For example, 500 kg distributed across half the area may require a trolley with a nominal load of 1,000 kg.
Can I use a lift table trolley as a mobile work table?
Yes, they are frequently used for this purpose – assembly, loading, and transport all in one. Ensure a sufficiently large platform, appropriate lifting height, and secure locking at the workstation.
Is operation on ramps or uneven ground permitted?
Only work on level, stable surfaces; slopes increase the risk of tipping and rolling. The manufacturer's instructions are decisive - if in doubt, avoid use on slopes.
Do I need an ATEX/Ex version in potentially explosive atmospheres?
Yes, only appropriately certified models are permitted in Ex zones. Only use lift table trolleys with a certified ATEX design and documentation.
What should I put together before buying?
Key parameters: Load capacity (including peak loads), lifting range, platform dimensions, load distribution, travel paths/floor conditions, cycles per shift, and desired features. A clear definition avoids incorrect purchases and costly retrofits.
Are there areas in which mobile trolleys are superior to stationary tables?
Ideal for any location where lifting is followed by moving – e.g., assembly islands, intralogistics, tool and parts transport. The cart eliminates the need for repositioning.
