Ergonomic workstations
Keep operators working at a comfortable height while a pallet is built up or emptied.
Load handling and ergonomics
Scissor Lift Tables
Scissor lift tables that raise pallets and heavy loads to a safe working height or to the level of a conveyor or machine.
Overview
What this system does
A scissor lift table raises and lowers a level platform on crossed scissor arms driven by a lifting cylinder. It brings pallets, bins and heavy unit loads to a comfortable working height, matches the level of a conveyor or machine, or helps loading at different heights. Platform size, stroke, lifting drive and safety devices are selected for the load and the workplace.
Main applications
Conveyor and machine level matching
Lift loads to the height of a conveyor, press or packing machine.
Pallet and bin handling
Raise and lower pallets, bins and heavy unit loads in production and storage areas.

Available configurations
Possible arrangements
Single scissor
One pair of scissor arms for moderate lifting heights.
Pit-mounted table
Platform sits flush with the floor when lowered for pallet truck access.
Table with conveyor deck
Roller or belt deck on the platform to transfer loads at the lifted level.
Technical design basis
Technical characteristics
These items identify the information used to engineer this equipment. Numerical limits appear only where the referenced catalogue supports them; other values are confirmed for each project.
No photo of an ENTRA lift table was supplied, so this page shows ENTRA's 3D model. Capacities, heights and speeds are defined per project and are not implied here.
| Platform size | Selected from the load footprint and handling access. |
|---|---|
| Rated load & stroke | Established from the actual load and the required height range. |
| Lifting drive | Selected for load, speed and duty cycle. |
| Safety | Edge protection, guarding and controls defined for the installation. |
Engineering considerations
What ENTRA needs to engineer the right solution
A useful proposal starts with operating conditions and interfaces. Final sizing is confirmed by engineering review.
Load
Mass, footprint, centre of gravity, load distribution and how the load is placed on the platform.
Heights
Lowered height, required lifted height, pit or floor mounting and access around the table.
Duty and controls
Cycles per shift, control position, interlocks with conveyors and required safety devices.
