Industrial scissor lift table
Improve workflow and ergonomics by removing barriers
Hydraulic scissor lift tables optimise logistics and production processes by facilitating load positioning and protecting operators’ health by avoiding unnecessary physical effort.
Designed to adapt to your logistics processes and compatible with different types of trucks, these lift tables can be easily integrated into any industrial environment.
With a load capacity of up to 10,000 kg, our hydraulic lift tables, manufactured in smooth or chequer plate steel, adapt to different operational requirements. If you need to lift more than three metres, we recommend choosing a goods lift instead.
Types of industrial scissor lift tables
Choosing the right model depends on the lifting travel and load you need to handle in your industrial facilities:
Single scissor lift tables
Single scissor lift tables are robust platforms designed to transport or position goods between different levels. Their main features are:
Double scissor hydraulic lift table
If floor space is limited but greater lifting heights are required, these tables are the ideal solution. Their main features are:
Multiple scissor lift table models
Hydraulic scissor lift tables for special applications
Choosing the right model depends on the lifting travel and load you need to handle in your industrial facilities:
Machines with double vertical or horizontal scissor system
These lift tables make it possible to raise large loads. They consist of an upper platform lifted by two scissors of equal size, operated by a single hydraulic power unit, which may be arranged horizontally or vertically depending on the model.
Low-profile lift tables
Designed for reduced spaces or where the table must have a minimum lowered height at rest, low-profile lift tables also use a double scissor mechanism with a single hydraulic power unit, but stand out for their extremely low profile and their ability to be easily integrated into floors or ramps.
Operation and use of scissor lift tables
Understanding how your hydraulic lift table operates will help you maximise performance and safety:
1
Load positioning
The operator must place the material centrally. This ensures balanced weight distribution so that the bearings are not subjected to asymmetrical loads.
2
Circuit activation
The pump is activated by means of a control panel or foot pedal. Fluid is injected under high pressure into the cylinders, forcing the arms to open smoothly and steadily.
3
Height adjustment and locking
When the control is released, the check valves seal the circuit. The system blocks any unintended descent, allowing work to be carried out with complete confidence.
4
Safe lowering
When the release valve is activated, the oil returns to the tank in a controlled manner. Gravity lowers the table at a constant speed and without impact.
Benefits and operational return
Investing in a high-capacity scissor lift table provides direct competitive advantages for your logistics operation:
Occupational health
You drastically reduce back injuries by preventing your team from manually handling heavy loads.
Fast cycles
Optimise delivery times by significantly streamlining the loading and unloading of materials.
Precise adjustment
The platform can be levelled with millimetric precision, which is essential for high-precision assembly operations.
Usable space
Its compact design frees up workshop space when the table is not in use.
Low cost
Maintenance of these hydraulic scissor lift tables is simple and cost-effective, ensuring a very long service life.
Total versatility
They adapt to any task, from palletising to complex assembly stations.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is it better to install a scissor lift table in a pit or surface?
The choice depends on your operation. Pit installation is ideal for vehicle loading and unloading, as it allows the table to remain flush with floor level. If the table will be used for assembly, packaging or order preparation where levelling with the external floor is not required, surface-mounted installation is faster and avoids complex civil works.
-
What should be considered when choosing a scissor lift table?
You must consider the total height to be covered, the maximum load weight (which can be up to 10,000 kg), and the available space. For heights above 3 metres, it is generally advisable to choose a goods lift instead of a scissor lift table.
-
What exactly do I need it for?
The first decision is to define the actual application: ergonomics at a workstation, pallet handling, line feeding, loading and unloading, maintenance, or integration into an automated process. The function determines the required capacity, travel, platform size, and accessories.
-
What load capacity do I need?
You must calculate the total load the table will support, including goods, pallets, tools or equipment, and select a model with a sufficient safety margin. As a reference, single scissor lift tables can reach up to 10,000 kg, while double or triple configurations may reach up to 5,000 kg depending on design.
-
What platform size do I need?
The platform must match the size and shape of the load, as well as the operator’s workflow or process requirements. Standard platform lengths range from 900 mm to 5,000 mm, so it should be selected according to the actual load and available space.
-
Should I choose a single, double or triple scissor lift table?
A single scissor lift table is usually best for medium lifting heights with high load capacity. Double or triple scissor tables are recommended when greater vertical travel is required without increasing floor space usage.
-
What level of safety should it include?
It should include appropriate safety systems such as overload protection, anti-crush safety bars, hose burst valves, mechanical maintenance locks, and hold-to-run controls. Many industrial models comply with EN 1570-1 and carry CE marking.
-
What standards must it comply with?
In Europe, EN 1570-1 is the main reference standard for scissor lift tables, and most compliant equipment also carries CE certification, which should be verified before purchase.
-
What maintenance does it require?
It requires regular preventive maintenance and visual inspections to detect leaks, wear, loose parts or safety issues. Manufacturer instructions should always be followed, and the equipment must be taken out of service if faults are detected until inspected by qualified personnel.
-
How do I choose the right table for my needs?
The correct choice depends on six factors: maximum load, working height range, load dimensions, frequency of use, pit requirement, and working environment. Single scissor tables suit ergonomic and heavy-duty applications, double or triple versions suit long travel, low-profile tables suit floor loading without pits, and mobile units are ideal for flexible multi-station use.
