Lift tables are used in single scissor, tandem or double scissor versions. Whereas single-scissor lifting tables have one scissor per long side, tandem lifting tables have two scissors per long side, which allows a greater table length to be achieved. In the case of double scissor lift tables, two scissors on top of each other are installed on each long side, whereby a greater height can be achieved.

Depending on the application, a lift table can be equipped with chain curtains, bellows or PVC curtains. It can also be equipped with railings, which are necessary if people enter the platform at a drop height > 500 mm. For loading lift tables placed in front of a loading ramp, portal railings are suitable to serve as fall protection. All lift tables comply with the safety requirements of EN 1570-1.
