A scissor lift table is a height-adjustable work table whose platform is raised or lowered by one or more mechanical scissor packs. The drive is usually hydraulic.
Areas of application:
Scissor lift tables are used wherever loads need to be raised to an ergonomic working height, for example:
- when loading and unloading trucks,
- when feeding machines
- or in internal material flow, for example in warehouses or in production.
The goal:
Reduce physical strain, prevent workplace accidents and enable efficient, safe processes.
A scissor lift table ensures that heavy workpieces, pallets, or components are always in the ideal position—for back-friendly work, fewer absences due to illness, and smooth operations.
- Ergonomic: Back-friendly working, fewer absences due to illness
- Efficient: Faster processes, shorter downtimes, reduced operating costs
- Flexible: Customized sizes, load capacities and lifting heights – tailored to your application
- Safe: Robust construction and well-designed safety options such as roll-off protection or platform locks
- Durable: High-quality workmanship and technology – “Made in Germany”

Scissor lift tables are available in various designs, depending on the area of application, lift height, and platform size. To find the right solution for your application, it is helpful to know the differences:
- Simple lift table
A lift table with a single scissor package – the classic choice for ergonomic working at fixed stations.
✅ Ideal for machine loading, packaging lines or as assembly tables
- Double scissor lift table (vertical):
Two scissor packages arranged one above the other enable greater lifting heights with a compact footprint.
✅ Ideal for changing floors, pallet storage, high conveyor distances
- Tandem lift table (horizontal):
Two scissor lifts arranged one behind the other enable extra-long platforms.
✅ Ideal for handling bulky loads such as wooden panels, steel profiles or pipes
- Triple scissor lift table (vertical):
Three scissor packages for particularly large height differences with compact platform dimensions.
✅ Ideal for high-bay warehouses or as an industrial work platform
ℹ️ Our tip: If you are unsure which option is right for you, take a look at the following section or contact us directly. We will be happy to advise you individually and provide you with a solution-oriented approach.
Hydraulic scissor lift tables have become the standard in many industries — and for good reason: they are powerful, low-maintenance and particularly durable.
Thanks to their sophisticated technology and robust construction, they are ideal for everyday use in industry, logistics, trade, and manufacturing. The big advantage:
Hydraulic drives are reliable, proven and extremely flexible in terms of configuration.
What this means for you:
The lift table can be customized to precisely meet your requirements — whether with turntables, tilting devices, chassis or other modules. This allows you to create your own individual solution from a basic unit.
👉 You can find an overview of suitable extensions in the lift table accessories section.
👉 Or read more in the technical article: Hydraulic lift tables: pros and cons.
Choosing the right scissor lift table is easier than you think – if you ask the right questions. Our short checklist will help you clearly define your requirements:
✅ What lift height do you need?
Depending on the application – whether ergonomic working or bridging multiple levels – the required lift height is crucial.
✅ What is the ideal platform size?
The platform length and width should be customized depending on the loads to be moved (e.g. pallets, machines, workpieces).
✅ How high is the required load capacity?
The load weights determine how strong your lift table needs to be designed – for maximum safety and service life.
✅ Where will the lift table be used?
Indoors, outdoors, at floor level or in a pit? The location of use influences, among other things, the equipment, corrosion protection and control system.

The cost of a scissor lift table depends on several factors, as each application has different requirements in terms of technology, size, and equipment. It is therefore not possible to give a general price estimate. Instead, the price is determined individually based on the following factors:
- Load capacity & lift height:
The higher the weight or lift distance, the more robust the mechanics must be designed. - Platform size:
Large platforms require more material and more stable constructions – this has a direct impact on costs. - Design / variant:
Simple lift tables are generally less expensive than, for example, tandem or double scissor lift tables with multiple scissor packages. - Special equipment:
Options such as rotating platforms, roller conveyors or mobile designs increase the range of functions — and the price. - Location & environment:
Additional protective measures are often necessary for outdoor use, pit installation or sensitive areas (e.g., food industry).
