Frequently Asked Questions

What is a scissor lift table & how can I use it?

A scissor lift table is a height-adjustable platform that uses a scissor mechanism as its driving force.  These are most commonly used for materials handling applications, logistics and automation by system integrators. 

Each scissor lift table is powered by hydraulic cylinders and is capable of elevating large and heavy loads between different levels. As such, this kind of equipment comes in handy for all kinds of factory and warehouse work, and for a range of logistical applications.

What are the benefits of a mobile scissor lift? 

Whilst static scissor lift tables are still the most popular format, there are many applications where a mobile alternative is best suited.  A specialist forklift chassis can be fitted to your scissor lift, which allows for mobile transportation using a forklift or pallet truck. Additionally, a mobile chassis can also be fitted with castor wheels to improve the versatility of your scissor lift.  

For manual propulsion, the maximum load should be 2000Kg, whilst for heavier loads we can add a powered tug, which makes moving a loaded scissor lift effortless. For mobile scissor lift tables, it is essential that your load remains evenly distributed and stable at all times.

How can I use a hydraulic lift table safely? 

All Edmolift products, including our range of hydraulic lift tables, are exceptionally safe and comply with all appropriate safety regulations.  As with any lifting equipment, it is essential to follow our guidelines and recognised safety protocol.  This includes making sure that your team has access to the right PPE, where you should also know your load, as well as its weight and distribution. Beyond this, it is essential that all users have read and understood our operator’s manual.

What sizes of tilt tables are available?

Edmolift tilt tables are available in various sizes and configurations, and these come with a choice of lifting and tilting capacities.  Our tilt tables are ideal for the ergonomic positioning of tote bins and containers to allow for safe loading and unloading.  Most commonly used in manufacturing line applications, Edmolift tilt tables are designed to improve efficiency, reduce injuries and increase productivity.

How much can a low-profile lift table hold?

Low-profile scissor lift tables are designed to have a minimal lowered height, which means that euro-pallets can be loaded directly with a hand pallet truck. This design also means that closed-entry pallets can be loaded with the addition of a shallow ramp. 

Edmolift provides 600Kg, 1000Kg and 2000Kg capacity models in a choice of sizes, plus additional “E” and “U” shape configurations.
