Platform up to 20 m • Up to 4 m wide • Heavy loads also possible

Special lifting tables: Perfectly tailored to your needs

Standard lifting tables quickly reach their limits. That's why we develop industrial lifting tables as custom designs – tailored to the application, load capacity, dimensions and desired configurations.

Special lifting table / heavy-duty solution (example)
Custom-designed platform
From very small (e.g. 500×400) to very large (up to 20 m).
Superstructures can be integrated
Roller conveyor, chain conveyor, ball rollers, turntable and much more.
Project support
Consulting → Design → Manufacturing → Delivery/Assembly (as required).

Limits are rare – mostly only in the installation situation: Very long platforms up to 20 m, very wide platforms up to 4 m, but also extremely compact dimensions are possible. Our standard lifting tables range up to 10 t – if that's not sufficient, we design custom heavy-duty solutions.

Dimensions

Platforms up to 20 m length and until 4 m width – or ultra-compact as needed.

Heavy load

Designed for specific projects – from „small area, large load“ to massive heavy-duty applications.

integration

Ideal for lines/systems: Structures and interfaces are planned directly (clock operation possible).

Special lifting table with high load capacity on a small platform (example)

Extremely high load-bearing capacity in a small area

When very little floor space is available, but large loads need to be lifted, the geometry is designed precisely to fit the platform, load center of gravity and installation location (example: 16 t on 1500×800 mm).

  • Compact: Optimized for tight installation spaces.
  • Robust: Special scissor design for heavy loads.
Car lift/platform between floors (example)

Car lift tables / car lifts for rolling loads

Special car lifts transport vehicles between two floors. Locking mechanisms and appropriate controls ensure safe operation. not Approved for passenger transport.

  • Between floors: Designed for rolling loads.
  • Complete solution: Available with shaft/gates and installation upon request.
Very long lifting table (example: wood industry)

Very long platforms – stable & synchronous

If it needs to be „long“ (e.g. 15 m platform, 18.5 t load), several scissor packages are used and moved in parallel via synchronization (e.g. flow divider) – frame stiffness and design against deflection are crucial.

  • Synchronous movement: Synchronous lifting across multiple scissor packages.
  • Industry-ready: Extra stable for demanding industries (e.g., wood industry).

Typical special forms & options

These special designs are in particularly high demand – and can be implemented in many sizes/variants.

ATEX lifting tables

For explosion-proof zones; units are often placed outside the protected area.

plant lifting tables

For conveyor systems/cycle operation – with roller conveyor, chain conveyor, ball rollers, etc.

aerial work platforms

For work at height – with personnel approval, railings, doors/emergency lowering possible.

column lifter

If the platform is small and the hub is large (without a pit) – the platform travels along the mast.

Turntable / rotating platform

Rotate and lock up to 360° – ideal for pallets/wire mesh boxes in lines.

Mobile / Rail chassis

For changing workstations: wheels, rail or customer-specific drive.

Quick check: What information do we need for a quote?

The more precise the specifications, the faster the design and quotation process.

  • Payload: kg (incl. load distribution/load center of gravity)
  • Platform: Length × width (possibly special shape), desired surface/structures
  • lifting height: Lifting range, end positions, intermediate stops
  • Installation type: Pit/surface-mounted, available installation area
  • Cycle time/duty cycle: Strokes per hour/shift, short strokes
  • Vicinity: Indoor/outdoor, wet area, ATEX, temperature/dirt
  • Options: Roller conveyor/chain/ball rollers, turntable, railings/gates, underrun protection (e.g. bellows)

Frequently asked questions about special lift tables

Important details for planning, design and special functions.

What is a special lift table and when do I need it?
If standard dimensions or functions do not fit, a lift table is designed according to your specifications. Typical reasons: special platform sizes, high cycle rates, special environments or additional superstructures.
What sizes and loads are realistic?
From very small to very large — platforms can, for example, reach lengths of up to 20 m and load capacities well over 50 t, depending on the design. The installation situation more often sets the limits than the technology itself.
How does customisation work?
They provide key data (load, lifting height, platform dimensions, installation situation, cycle time, environment). The manufacturer then designs the product and prepares a quotation. After approval: manufacturing, delivery, and installation.
Can people travel with me?
Only if the lift table is designed as an aerial work platform with personnel authorisation. Car lifts/lifting tables are not authorised for the transport of persons.
Can special lift tables be used outdoors or in wet areas?
Yes, with galvanized or stainless steel versions and suitable sealing/protective elements. Consistent corrosion and IP protection planning is essential.
Are there ATEX versions?
Yes, special ATEX lifting tables are available for explosion-proof zones; the power units are often placed outside the protected area. Planning is strictly based on zone, medium, and type of ignition protection.
Can conveyor technology superstructures be integrated?
Yes, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, ball transfer units or turntables can be provided directly on the platform. This saves interfaces and reduces handling times.
How can very long platforms be moved stably and synchronised?
With multi-section scissor mechanisms and hydraulic synchronization (e.g., flow dividers). Design and frame rigidity are key to preventing deflection.
What information do you need for a quick quote?
Payload (kg), platform dimensions (L×W), lifting height, installation type (pit/mounted), cycle/working cycle, environment (indoor/outdoor/ATEX/wet), superstructure/connection. Photos/sketches of the installation site speed up the design process.
What does maintenance look like?
Regular visual and functional inspections, oil/hose/seal checks, and lubrication of joints are required. Intervals depend on frequency of use and environment.
What does a special lift table cost?
Prices depend heavily on size, lifting capacity, load capacity, safety level, and superstructures. Calculate on a project-specific basis rather than using list prices.
How long is the delivery time?
Project-dependent: Design, material availability and acceptance determine the duration. Early clarification of dimensions, statics and authorisations saves weeks.
Can vehicles also be lifted?
Yes, self-propelled lifting platforms/lifts for wheeled loads between floors are common – including gates/shafts and lift controls. Passenger transport is excluded.
Is a special lift table suitable for synchronised operation in lines?
Yes, lifting tables are designed for defined strokes/short strokes and connected to the conveyor system. The design is based on the number of cycles and the load profile.
Are there mobile versions?
Mobile lifting tables with wheels, rail chassis, or customer-specific drive systems are possible. Important: floor levelness, travel paths, and braking/safety concept.
What if very little floor space is available?
Narrow, multi-stage scissor lifts or column lifts are options; even extremely compact platforms are feasible if the structural integrity allows. The design is precisely tailored to the load center and installation location.
