As a lift table manufacturer, we frequently receive requests for CAD models of our products. In this article, we would like to explain in detail which CAD models we can provide and at what time.

For the production of scissor lift tables with special dimensions or specific equipment, we unfortunately cannot provide a CAD model before an order is placed. Since each of these lift tables is individually designed, the effort without a prior order would be too great.

However, once your order has been received and the approval drawing has been sent, we can provide you with a detailed CAD model with all the desired features and interfaces. Additionally, we are flexible regarding the desired file format: whether the standardized .stp format, .dxf, or .dwg – just let us know your preferred format.

In the future, you will find the link "CAD Model" in the last column of the product overview for each of our standard lift tables. A simple click on this link gives you access to three essential files:

1. Lift_table-extended.stp
2. Lift_table-retracted.stp
3. Dimension_drawing.pdf 

The file names are self-explanatory. You will receive the CAD data in a compressed zip folder, which requires extracting the files with a corresponding program (e.g. 7-ZIP). Due to the large number of variants we offer in our standard program, we have chosen the most commonly used CAD format.

We are aware of the risks associated with uploading 3D data. Nevertheless, we have taken precautions to protect our designs while still providing our customers with interesting key data. The .stp files we provide largely contain only the outer geometry of our lift tables. This information gives you an idea of the size and shape of the product without revealing critical details such as cylinders, scissor bearings, hydraulic systems or exact material thicknesses. These elements are not required for planning your own facility and have therefore been omitted or modified in the CAD files.

Please note: These CAD models are not intended for use in your own design projects. They are not suitable for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts, as such replication would not be functional or safe under real load conditions.

As previously mentioned, it is important for us to protect our designs and technical details. Therefore, we do not publish construction details of our products on publicly accessible platforms. Once you have ordered a lift table from us, you will receive access to the more detailed model.

We have started publishing the CAD data. Since this task is being handled in addition to our regular daily business, it may take some time. If you do not yet see the link to the CAD model of the desired scissor lift table, please send us an email with the type designation of the lift table to info@j-lifte.com. We will then provide you with the required model as soon as possible.
