Frequently Asked Questions

General Product Information

1. What are double manual scissor lift tables used for?
These tables are designed for lifting loads to greater heights than standard single scissor models, making them ideal for high-level assembly, packing, or maintenance tasks in industrial and commercial settings.

2. What is the maximum lifting height?
Depending on the model, double scissor tables can lift up to approximately 1500mm, allowing operators to raise loads to a comfortable and practical working height.

3. What are the available load capacities?
Available models typically range from 150kg to 350kg capacity, suitable for light to medium-duty lifting applications.

4. What is the platform size?
Platform dimensions vary across models, but they are built to accommodate a wide range of containers, parts, and materials safely and securely.

5. What is the construction material?
The tables are made from industrial-grade steel with a durable powder-coated finish for long-term resistance to wear and corrosion.

Usage and Operation

6. How is the table raised and lowered?
A foot-operated hydraulic pump is used to raise the platform, while a hand-operated release lever provides smooth and controlled lowering.

7. Is the table mobile?
Yes, it features heavy-duty castor wheels—typically two swivel and two fixed, with braking functionality—allowing safe manoeuvrability in working environments.

8. Can it be used in confined workspaces?
Yes, the compact footprint and mobile design make these lift tables ideal for tight working environments where height access is required without a fixed installation.

Maintenance and Care

9. What maintenance is recommended?
Inspect the hydraulic system, scissor arms, wheels, and brakes regularly. Keep moving components clean and lubricated, and check the platform for signs of damage or corrosion.

10. Are spare parts available?
Yes, Liftruck UK stocks a range of spare parts including hydraulic units, pumps, wheels, and handles for all lift table models.
