| Rated lifting capacity |
500 kg
(1,102 lb) |
1,000 kg
(2,205 lb) |
2,000–3,000 kg
(4,409–6,614 lb) |
Capacity must include the load, pallet or container, tooling, and any dynamic effects. Confirm the rated load at the required lift height and load-centre position. |
| Platform size |
900 × 700 mm
(35.4 × 27.6 in) |
1,300 × 800 mm
(51.2 × 31.5 in) |
1,800 × 1,200 mm
(70.9 × 47.2 in) |
The platform should provide sufficient clearance around the load. Check the allowable load distribution and prevent loads from extending beyond protected edges. |
| Useful lifting height |
800–1,000 mm
(31.5–39.4 in) |
1,000–1,300 mm
(39.4–51.2 in) |
1,300–1,600 mm
(51.2–63.0 in) |
Confirm the minimum lowered height, maximum raised height, available installation space, and required access height. |
| Lowered platform height |
180–250 mm
(7.1–9.8 in) |
220–300 mm
(8.7–11.8 in) |
250–350 mm
(9.8–13.8 in) |
Low-profile models may require recessed installation, ramps, or floor-level transitions. Verify floor flatness and structural capacity. |
| Lifting speed |
40–60 mm/s
(1.6–2.4 in/s) |
35–55 mm/s
(1.4–2.2 in/s) |
25–45 mm/s
(1.0–1.8 in/s) |
Speed should be selected according to the handling process, stability requirements, stopping accuracy, and risk assessment. |
| Lowering speed |
Controlled hydraulic lowering |
Controlled hydraulic lowering |
Controlled hydraulic lowering |
Use a controllable lowering circuit with suitable flow restriction. The platform must not descend uncontrollably after a hydraulic failure. |
| Hydraulic power unit |
1.1–1.5 kW motor
230/400 V, 50 Hz |
1.5–2.2 kW motor
230/400 V, 50 Hz |
2.2–4.0 kW motor
230/400 V, 50 Hz |
Confirm voltage, frequency, phase arrangement, enclosure rating, motor protection, and compatibility with the destination country's electrical requirements. |
| Hydraulic protection |
Pressure relief valve, hose or pipe rupture protection, non-return control, and protected hydraulic components |
Protection devices should be sized for the rated load and installed so that a single hydraulic fault does not create an uncontrolled hazardous movement. |
| Mechanical maintenance safety |
Mechanical maintenance bars, locking supports, or equivalent positive means of preventing descent during servicing |
EN 1570-1 and ANSI MH29.1-based designs require safe maintenance provisions. Never rely only on hydraulic pressure to support a raised platform. |
| Perimeter protection |
Fixed guards, bellows, toe guards, safety edges, or other measures selected according to the access and crushing-risk assessment |
The scissor mechanism and pinch points must be guarded where personnel could be exposed. Guarding must not create additional trapping hazards. |
| Controls and emergency stop |
Hold-to-run control, emergency stop, key or authorized control where required, and protection against unintended operation |
Controls should be positioned to provide a clear view of the movement area. Verify restart behavior after power interruption and emergency-stop reset. |
| Overload protection |
Hydraulic pressure limitation and load-rating identification |
Overload protection must not be treated as permission to exceed the rated capacity. Clearly mark rated load, platform limits, and operating instructions. |
| Platform stability |
Rigid platform frame with guided scissor movement and defined allowable load eccentricity |
Check horizontal forces, uneven loading, rolling loads, braking forces, wind exposure, and the stability of the supporting floor or foundation. |
| Travel limit control |
Upper and lower travel limits with positive stopping and controlled final movement |
Limit devices should be protected from accidental adjustment and coordinated with the hydraulic circuit and control system. |
| Noise target |
Typically below 70 dB(A) |
Typically below 72 dB(A) |
Typically below 75 dB(A) |
Actual noise depends on the pump, motor, installation, and operating cycle. Measure at the operator position when workplace noise exposure is relevant. |
| Operating environment |
Indoor, clean and dry |
Indoor industrial environment |
Indoor or protected outdoor use |
For dust, moisture, washdown, corrosive chemicals, cold temperatures, or explosive atmospheres, specify suitable protection and perform an application-specific assessment. |
| Applicable safety framework |
EN 1570-1 for relevant lifting-table applications; ANSI MH29.1 for applicable industrial scissor-lift applications |
Confirm the correct edition, scope, national adoption, machinery or workplace regulations, electrical requirements, and third-party conformity obligations for the destination market. |
| Documentation expected from the supplier |
Load chart, drawings, hydraulic schematic, electrical diagram, risk information, operating instructions, maintenance instructions, and test records |
Request evidence showing that the supplied configuration—not only a similar model—has been assessed for its rated load, travel, controls, guarding, and intended use. |
| Recommended acceptance checks |
No-load and rated-load travel test, emergency-stop test, overload-function check, descent-control test, limit-switch test, and visual inspection |
Acceptance testing should be documented before commissioning and repeated according to the site maintenance and inspection program. |
