Mobile lift table with floating platform

We had to develop a special solution for a German customer in the automotive industry . With the lifting table , parts of the car are not only moved from one production step to another, but also lifted for the “wedding”. Positioning with the landing gear is relatively difficult due to the high weight, so the platform should be “floating”. In addition, the customer’s space is limited, so it had to be built very compactly.

Our design department has developed a great lifting table solution together with the customer. Two manually mobile hydraulic scissor lift tables with a load capacity of 6000 kg were supplied. The platform measures 4000 x 1000 mm.
So that the load could be ideally positioned, we installed a floating platform with locking. On this, the product can be moved 50mm in each direction without moving the entire lift table. In order to obtain additional safety, we have installed a special double unit so that you can lift at two lifting speeds. First, it is raised quickly so as not to lose any time. The last centimeters then at the slow speed, so that the car parts are not damaged.

The lifting table is rounded off with a bellows as underflow protection, a push handle on both sides and a coupling for a transport device on the base frame.

Details of the lift table project

Slim design of the mobile lifting table

Due to the limited space available at the customer’s site, we designed the lift table in a very narrow design.

Nevertheless, the unit had to be installed internally under the lift table, as the length could not be exceeded. Thanks to a special design of the scissors, we were able to deliver this narrow lifting table .

Bellows as underflow protection

Basically, all our lift tables are secured by a circumferential safety strip. These can be seen in the photo in red below the platform. As soon as it senses counterpressure (e.g. a person or a workpiece), the lifting table stops.

In this project, however, we had to install an additional fuse for the operator and the lift table itself. On the one hand, the bellows prevent a person from getting under the lift table. On the other hand, the lift table is protected from damage and from all from dirt. The bellows can be seen in black in the picture.

Special lifting table with chassis

The lifting table must be constantly pushed to several positions in production. The lifting table can be easily pushed through the wheels under the base frame. Instead of 4 wheels at the corners, we have installed a total of 6 wheels to maintain stability.

On a narrow side of the mobile lift table we have attached a push handle and a holder for a coupling for a transport device.

Lifting table with floating platform

The white platform can be moved 50mm by hand in all 4 directions. This has ensured that the platform for the “wedding” can be aligned exactly. For this purpose, ball casters were installed under this platform, on which the platform can be moved without great effort.

The floating platform can be fixed with a bolt so that the platform does not slip during movement or assembly.
