Standard lifting tables in any size: Robust & modular

„Standard“ means: hydraulic lifting tables that are available in the catalog/shop without additional accessories – but thanks to modular design (base frame, scissor arms, platform) can still be realized in many sizes.

Standard lifting table with single scissor mechanism
Simple scissors
Wide variety of models – from compact to heavy-duty.
Double/triple scissors
Greater lifting height or longer goods – depending on the design.
HD series
Designed for high stroke rates/cycle operation – suitable for continuous operation.

Why standard lifting tables are so popular: They bring loads to an ergonomic working height, improve material flow and can be expanded in terms of safety depending on the application.

ergonomics

Workpieces/pallets at the appropriate height – less bending, less strain.

Efficiency

With the right platform size, handling becomes a clean process.

Security

Accessories & protection (e.g. contact strips, floor protection) are scalable.

Standard lifting table with single scissor mechanism

Standard lifting table with single scissor mechanism

The largest series – ideal for designing ergonomic workflows. The achievable lifting height depends, among other things, on the platform length.

  • Load capacity: Typical range 500 to 10,000 kg.
  • Top sellers: Euro pallet formats are in high demand.
Standard lifting table with horizontal double scissor mechanism

Horizontal double scissor (tandem)

Two mechanically synchronized scissors side by side – suitable for long goods and even lifting with a lower overall height.

  • For long goods: Stable load bearing along the length.
  • Load capacity: Depending on the model, up to 10,000 kg.
Standard lifting table with vertical double scissor mechanism

Vertical double and triple scissors

Stacked scissor lifts allow for greater lifting heights with a compact platform – often used as freight elevators (with appropriate safety technology).

  • Increased lifting height: Suitable for higher levels.
  • Floor operation: Plannable with a coordinated protection concept.
HD series plant lifting table

Plant lifting tables (HD series)

For high stroke rates or demanding cycle times – direct integration into automated systems (before/after machines, stacking, etc.).

  • Continuous operation: Designed for cycle count and usage profile.
  • Integration: Interfaces/automation can be planned as needed.

Checklist: How to find the right lifting table

These points will help with a quick interpretation – ideal for your request.

1

Load & Bearing Capacity

Maximum weight + reserve – also: is the load distributed over a large area or concentrated at a single point?

2

Platform dimensions

The size of the cargo determines the minimum platform size.

3

Lifting height / usable stroke

Difference between lowest position and desired final height.

4

Installation or pit?

Flush with the ground in a pit – or installed with a ramp/loading concept.

5

Frequency (beat)

Cycles per hour/day influence motor and design.

6

Safety & Accessories

Railings/gates, roll-off protection, control system, protection concept (multi-story operation).

Frequently asked questions about lift tables

The most important answers for your planning and purchase.

What does a lift table cost?
The price depends heavily on the model, load capacity, platform size, and lifting range. Basic electric models often start in the lower four-figure range; optional extras can significantly increase the price.
Can you build a lift table yourself?
Theoretically, yes – in practice, CE conformity, documentation, and testing are very time-consuming. For many projects, purchasing is faster and more economical.
Lifting table vs. scissor lift table – what is the difference?
lifting table is the generic term. Scissor lift table refers to the typical design with scissor mechanism (single, double or triple scissor).
How do I find the right load capacity?
Use the maximum weight plus a safety margin as a guide and take the load distribution into account. Even distributed loads must be safely absorbed (reference to standards).
What lifting height do I need for ergonomic working?
Adjust the height according to your desired working height (rule of thumb: elbow height). Standard lifting tables typically reach up to approximately 1,600 mm; more lifting height is possible with a double/triple scissor mechanism.
Does a lift table have to be installed in a pit?
No. Setting up on the ground is common; a pit is advantageous if loading is to be done flush with the ground.
Which security features are important/mandatory?
Typical features include an emergency stop, foot protection/crushing protection, and standards-compliant controls. The requirements are based, among other things, on DIN EN 1570-1.
When do I need railings or doors on the lift table?
For multi-story operations, fall protection at the upper handrail is relevant from a level difference of approximately 500 mm; at greater heights, monitored safety doors/railings are common (depending on the safety concept).
How often does a lift table need to be serviced or checked?
Regular inspections and maintenance ensure proper function and safety measures. The scope and intervals depend on the design and use.
Can I lift people with a lift table?
Only if the system is designed and secured for this purpose. Classic industrial lifting tables are primarily designed for goods.
How fast does a lift table lift?
In practice, the lifting speed depends on the model; standards often cite values ≤ 0.15 m/s as a guideline (exceptions only with additional safeguards).
Are there lifting tables with integrated scales or radio control?
Yes, accessories such as integrated scales or radio controls are possible and can save time/workplaces.
Can a lift table be used as a goods lift between two floors?
Yes – with suitable doors/safety devices and a coordinated protection concept for the building and standards.
What type of power supply is required?
Often 400 V (3-phase); 230 V is possible with some models. Always refer to the manufacturer's data sheet for connection details.
How many lifting cycles per hour are usual?
This is highly model-dependent; higher cycle counts require correspondingly designed systems (e.g., HD series).
What platform sizes are available - including customised sizes?
In addition to standard sizes, custom sizes are also possible. Very long/very wide platforms are often implemented as custom lifting tables.
Which standard currently applies to lift tables?
DIN EN 1570-1 is cited as the central reference; it regulates, among other things, safety, protective measures and bus stops.
Are all lift tables suitable for outdoor use?
Not automatically. Outdoor use requires corrosion/weather protection and approval according to the manufacturer's data sheet.
