A scissor lift table brings the load to working height instead of making the operator bend to it — the quickest ergonomic win in most assembly, packing and machine-feeding areas. The GPC VULCAN scissor lift tables here comply with EN 1570:2011, the safety standard for scissor lifting tables, and are manufactured by GPC Industries Ltd (UK).
The VULCAN mobile scissor lift trolley
The double scissor lift trolley (MLTD100Y) combines a 1,000 kg capacity with the extra travel of a double scissor mechanism, so one unit covers both low pick-up and raised working positions. It is raised by pump-action foot pedal — keeping both hands free to steady the load — and lowered under control by foot pedal. As a mobile scissor lift table it runs on two fixed and two swivel braked castors with wheel guards, so it doubles as a transport trolley: load at one station, wheel to the next, lift to height and lock the brakes.
Choosing a scissor lift table
-
Capacity — rate the table for your heaviest regular load, not the average; 1,000 kg covers most palletised and boxed work.
-
Lift height — a double scissor design gives more height range than a single scissor of the same platform size.
-
Mobile or static — braked castors suit loads that move between stations; for fixed workstation feeding or pallet loading, see the static lift tables and pallet level loaders in our lifters & loaders range.
Scissor tables fall under PUWER, so build them into your inspection schedule and keep the mechanism clear of debris. For a fuller walkthrough of types, capacities and safety points, read our guide to choosing a scissor lift table, or compare hand pallet trucks and stackers if the job is really a lifting-and-moving task rather than a working-at-height one.
