High-Capacity Scissor Lifts

This collection currently features a Mahle ShopPRO multi-use lift table in the higher capacity range. It is intended for heavy component and equipment handling — transmissions, drivetrain assemblies, and battery packs — rather than for lifting vehicles, which remains the job of a rated vehicle lift.

Raising and positioning heavy components and assemblies to working height — transmissions, drivetrain assemblies, battery packs, and equipment that is too heavy to handle manually. It is a materials handling tool rather than a vehicle lift.

That's not the case. A lift table is designed for component and equipment loads placed on its platform, not for lifting a vehicle by its frame or wheels. Use a rated vehicle lift for vehicle work.

Rate on the heaviest single load you will place on the table, with margin, and confirm the load distributes within the platform's specification. Concentrated point loading on part of the platform can exceed limits even when total weight is within the rating.

Configuration varies by model between electric, hydraulic, and air-over-hydraulic operation. Confirm the power requirement on the specific model before installation, including whether shop air is needed and at what volume. Air-operated equipment frequently needs more air volume than shops assume from the pressure rating alone.

Mechanical load-holding provisions, overload protection, and controls that hold position without continuous operator input. Review the specific model's safety systems against how you intend to use it, and ensure operators are trained on correct loading and positioning before the table goes into service.

Inspect the lifting mechanism, check hydraulic components for leaks, verify safety systems function correctly, and keep the platform and scissor mechanism clear of debris. Follow the manufacturer's inspection interval and keep records — debris in the scissor mechanism is a common and avoidable cause of damage.
