Lift Table Buying Guide
Choosing Between Scissor Lift Tables and Mobile Lift Carts
Scissor lift tables are stationary platforms ideal for fixed workstations — assembly lines, packing stations, and dock-level loading. They provide stable, repeatable lift to a set working height. Mobile lift carts combine lifting with transport, letting operators move loads between stations at ergonomic heights. Choose stationary scissor lift tables for dedicated work areas and mobile carts when loads move between zones.
Capacity and Lift Height: Sizing for Your Application
Lift table capacity should exceed your heaviest regular load by at least 20%. Our range covers 150 kg for light assembly parts up to 2,000 kg for heavy industrial loads. Lift height determines your working envelope — bench-height models (0.3 m stroke) suit packing and inspection, while full-rise models (1.0–1.5 m) reach truck-bed or mezzanine-transfer heights. Measure your current manual lift distances to identify the right stroke range.
Hydraulic vs Electric vs Spring-Assisted Lift Tables
Electric-hydraulic lift tables offer push-button convenience and handle the widest capacity range — best for frequent use and heavy loads. Manual hydraulic models use a foot pump and cost less, suitable for occasional lifting under 500 kg. Spring-assisted tables self-level as load weight changes, ideal for pallet dispensing or maintaining a constant working height during order picking. Match the power source to your usage frequency and load weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right lift assist equipment for my application?
Start with the load weight you need to lift and the height range required. Scissor lift tables are ideal for fixed workstations placing them at pack stations, assembly lines, or dock areas. Mobile lift carts work for transporting and positioning loads between stations. Match platform size to your typical load footprint.
What capacity and height range do your lift tables cover?
Our lift tables range from 150 kg (small parts and light assembly) to 2,000 kg (heavy industrial loads). Lift heights range from bench height (0.3 m) to elevated positions (1.0–1.5 m). Choose based on your working height needs and the weight of materials being handled.
Can lift tables be used at dock level for loading and unloading?
Yes. Stationary lift tables are commonly used at dock height to bring pallets to a comfortable working level for packing, sorting, or transferring goods. They can also bridge height differences between dock and trailer floors when dock levelers are not available.
Are these lift tables electric, hydraulic, or manual?
We offer electric-hydraulic lift tables (foot-pedal or push-button control with powered lift), manual hydraulic (foot-pump operated), and spring-assisted models. Electric models are best for frequent use and heavy loads. Manual models work well for occasional lifting with lighter loads.
How do you ship lift tables and lift carts to Canadian addresses?
Lift tables ship via freight carrier to commercial addresses across Canada. Lighter lift carts may ship via courier. Most models dispatch within 2–5 business days. Toronto-area pickup is available. Freight costs vary by weight and destination.
What warranty and support do you offer on lift assist equipment?
Lift assist equipment includes a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. We stock hydraulic cylinders, seals, pump assemblies, and control components. Contact our team for technical support with installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
