loading lift tables
The loading lift tables / loading platforms we offer are used for loading and unloading trucks and flatbed trucks or for bridging levels in front of loading ramps
Our loading lifting tables are always supplied with lifting eyes for transport or easier pit assembly, mounting bolts in the base frame for gentle loading on the scissors at the lower stop, lifting limit switch for adjusting the upper level and tear plate as anti-slip protection.
The best-selling loading lift tables have a platform size of 2500 × 2000 mm or 3000 × 2000 mm. The most common load capacities are 2000 kg, 4000 kg and 6000 kg. In most cases, the lifting height of semi-trailer trucks is approx. 1300 mm.
However, we not only deliver standard versions, but also adapt the dimensions to your requirements or circumstances without any major additional charge. In any case, it pays off to inquire about our stable and affordable loading lifting tables.
Loading lift tables are particularly robust and mostly large scissor lift tables that are designed for use on (loading) ramps. These truck lift tables can be used to move pallets, carts, transport equipment, pallet trucks or containers between loading ramps and the ground level of the hall / yard or between the loading ramp and various types of transport vehicles. It is also possible to lift the transport vehicle or forklift with these lifting tables so that you can reach the higher level. To make loading easier, we offer manual or electro-hydraulic tailgates on all sides of the platform as an option.
Loading lift tables as a space-saving and safe alternative
loading lift table
Loading lift tables are used in front of ramps or on buildings with a height difference from the yard level. This loading lifting table has a bellows as underflow protection and the safety strip required by the standard. A stable moving bar is attached to the platform to protect against falls. When the lifting table is in the lower lifting position, this is approx. 1.2 m above the upper stop and acts as a railing. The platform surface is made of tearplate for better grip.
Loading lift tables are adapted to the conditions on site
Our loading lift tables can be precisely adapted to the needs on site. In the event of an order, we create a pit plan with all the necessary information. These two facilities were equipped with surrounding railings and a gate in the direction of the hall. In the loading direction from the truck, a hydraulic loading flap was installed, which also serves as fall protection. The traffic light system at the loading lift tables shows whether the lift table is currently in use or free.

are not only used for loading and unloading articulated lorries or flatbed trucks, but also for transporting the goods from the yard level to the ramp with pallet trucks. This system has an all-round lattice skirt as underflow protection and railings including gates on the platform and a gate at the upper stop as fall protection. We have installed the operation with key switch for the limited group of users on a pillar next to the system.
These loading lift tables are used indoors, in a protected outdoor area such as under a canopy or completely outdoors.
We adapt our lifting tables exactly to your wishes and environmental influences, so please tell us all your requirements. Indoors, the painted version is usually sufficient, but outdoors we rely on long-lasting hot-dip galvanizing and a higher protection class for the electronics.
Depending on the application, we offer the additional safety technology required according to the standard. Railings are available as fall protection, fixed or plug-in, on all sides of the platform. Gates, with or without forced contact, on all sides of the platform. Mobile portals as fall protection, also available on all sides of the lifting table platform. As underflow protection, we offer a mesh skirt or a PVC roller blind on all sides under the platform. If all 4 sides need to be protected, we offer a circumferential bellows depending on the application.
Loading lift tables often have to be driven over by a truck or other heavy equipment. Here we offer our reinforced platform with increased wheel pressure. This means that the lifting table can even be driven over with a semi-trailer in the lower lifting position in the pit.
Loading lifting tables often have to be supplied by the general contractor for large tenders. We are happy to provide support right from the planning phase. With the offer you will receive a pit plan with construction details, we will take part in construction meetings and check the natural dimensions. Our fitters are present during delivery and carry out assembly, commissioning and training. We also offer acceptance by the TÜV or a civil engineer, including acceptance findings and test book.

Frequently asked questions about loading lift tables
What is a loading lift table and what is it used for?
A loading lift table compensates for the height difference between the vehicle (e.g. lorry) and the ramp or hall floor so that loading and unloading can be carried out safely and quickly. Technically, it is usually a robust scissor lift table with suitable accessories for loading.
What is the difference between a loading lift table and a leveller/loading bridge?
The dock leveller only bridges the gap between the ramp and the vehicle and „floats“ with the truck movements; a loading lift table raises and lowers the loading ramp. entire platform. There are also combinations of lift table + feed bridge if both are needed.
Are there any standards or safety requirements that I need to observe?
Yes: Loading lift tables fall under the EN 1570-1 (safety requirements for lift tables) and must be designed and operated accordingly. Pay attention to CE conformity and suitable safety equipment.
What sizes, lifting heights and load capacities are common?
Platforms are very common for 2500×2000 mm or 3000×2000 mm, loads from 2-6 t and lifting heights approximately at lorry level (≈ 1300 mm). Manufacturers often customise dimensions and performance.
Do I necessarily need a pit?
The flush Pit assembly is standard, because it allows you to drive over and start up cleanly - you usually receive a pit plan for this. Where no pit is possible Access ramps or Column solutions as an alternative.
Can I drive onto the loading lift table with a pallet truck or forklift?
Yes, you can - often with Tear plate surface and optional Loading flaps/overrun plates, that close the gap. Ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity, Railings/gates and if necessary. Reinforced platforms.
Can the lift table be driven over in the lowest position?
With Reinforced platform and increased wheel pressure, the lift table in the pit can even be driven over by lorries. This should be taken into account when designing explicitly provided for become.
Which security features are useful?
Typical are railing (fixed/pluggable), Doors with forced contact, travelling portals as fall protection and Underflow protection (mesh shirt, PVC roller blind or bellows) and Safety edges. One Traffic lights can also indicate whether the system is in operation.
Is a loading lift table suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, then you should click on Hot-dip galvanising, Weatherproof design and higher Protection class of the electrical system. This significantly increases the service life.
What power supply does a loading lift table need?
Loading lift tables are electrohydraulic and in practice often run on Three-phase current (e.g. 3-phase 380/400 V) - Details can be found in the data sheet for the respective model. Clarify the connection values with the electrician at an early stage.
Can people travel with me?
Only if the lift table is expressly designed, secured and compliant is - the EN 1570-1 takes into account lifting tables for goods with or without Operator/authorised persons. In case of doubt, special equipment and an authorised operating mode are required.
What is the difference between „loading lift table“ and „loading platform“ in everyday language?
In everyday life, the terms are often used interchangeably; technically, they mean „Loading lift table“ the lifting platform, „Loading platform/loading ramp“ rather the solid ramp or the location on the building. What is important is the actually required Range of functions (lifting vs. only bridging).
Which accessories are important for smooth processes?
Very common are Loading flaps (manual or electrohydraulic), Key switch/operator-restricted controls and Railings/gates. This makes handling easier and increases safety.
Are there solutions that combine loading bridge and lift table?
Yes, Combination systems combine lifting function and feed bridge in one system - practical when both Level levelling as well as „Floating position“ are required for lorry movement. This saves space at the loading point.
How does the acceptance/commissioning process work?
Reputable providers accompany Installation, commissioning and instruction and offer on request a Acceptance (e.g. TÜV/civil engineer) together with a test logbook. This ensures that you are technically and legally on the safe side.
What does a loading lift table roughly cost?
The price depends heavily on Size, load capacity, lifting height and Safety equipment standard solutions are significantly cheaper than customised systems. A Comparison of several offers with identical specifications is always worthwhile.
