Hydraulic Platform Trucks

Hydraulic platform trucks lift loads from floor level to working height without manual strain. Common in workshops, stores, and production areas where you need to position parts, pallets, or assemblies at bench height. The scissor mechanism multiplies foot-pump input — typical models here span 150 kg to 1200 kg capacity. Pick capacity based on your heaviest single lift, not average load, and check the raised and lowered platform dimensions against your floor space and door widths.

Capacity ratings here run from 150 kg benchtop units up to 1200 kg heavy-duty versions. The 150 kg and 300 kg tables suit component assembly, small-batch packing, or tool setup. The 500 kg model handles engine blocks, transmissions, or stacked cartons. The 1000 kg and 1200 kg trucks shift euro pallets, batteries, or fabricated steel without a forklift. Match the capacity to your peak load — scissor frames flex and bind if you exceed the rating, and pump stroke counts climb sharply near maximum.

Platform size matters as much as lift weight. A wide table stabilises awkward loads, but measure your doorways and aisle widths before ordering — scissor trucks don't turn as tightly as a pallet jack. Lift height is the vertical travel from fully lowered to fully extended; typical ranges are 300 mm to 1300 mm. If you need to meet a specific bench or conveyor height, check both the minimum and maximum figures. Lowered height affects whether the truck fits under pallets or skids.

Foot-pump hydraulics are standard across this range. Most units take 10 to 15 pumps for full travel when loaded. If you're lifting dozens of times a shift, consider a model with a larger pump cylinder to cut pump count. Castors on the base allow you to roll the truck when loaded; swivel castors at one end and fixed at the other is the usual setup. Check castor diameter if you work on uneven floors — larger wheels roll over cracks and debris more easily. The high-lift battery truck listed here is built for automotive workshops swapping EV packs; it combines extra height with a reinforced deck for concentrated cell weight.
