Lifting Platform
Hydraulic lifting with strong load capacity. Safe and easy to operate for material handling in woodworking production lines.
A lifting platform is usually not a stand-alone machine. It is the height compensation unit inside the automatic panel infeed station of a panel production line. A forklift places the full pallet of panels on the platform, the pusher separates and pushes off one sheet at a time, and the platform rises as each sheet is taken, keeping the pick-up face of the next panel at a constant height. However high or low the stack becomes, the downstream press and saw never have to change their own feeding height.
The platform is hydraulically driven. The E-type deck leaves a fork access channel underneath, so a forklift or hand pallet truck can push a full pallet of panels onto the platform and take it away again — no re-stacking on the floor. Once raised to working height, the platform meets the roller conveyor, the press or the multi-blade saw infeed table, so the whole line is designed around a single pick-up height.
Key Features
- Hydraulic drive with smooth, shock-free travel; the pick-up height can be fine-tuned continuously while running
- E-type deck: a forklift or hand pallet truck loads and unloads directly, with no re-stacking
- 150–1000mm lifting range, deck lowers to 150mm, matching roller line and press infeed heights directly
- 3T rated load capacity, sufficient for loading a full pallet of panels
- Forms an automatic infeed station together with the pusher, compensating the pick-up height sheet by sheet and reducing manual panel handling
- Deck size, lifting range and load capacity are customized to the production line

FAQ
Does the lifting platform have to be used with a pusher? Can it be bought on its own?
It can be used on its own as a material lifting and height adjusting platform. But its real value lies in compensating the pick-up height sheet by sheet — without a pusher the stack top drops as material is taken away, and no platform height can compensate for that. Only a pusher and lifting platform working as a set deliver a stable, continuous supply.
The deck lowers to 150mm — can a forklift drive straight on?
The E1825 has a 150–1000mm lifting range, and the E-type deck has a fork access channel underneath, designed for a forklift or hand pallet truck to load directly. Whether a full forklift can drive on depends on your truck model, fork height and entry clearance, so send us the forklift details and we will check the interface and propose the matching setup.
The deck is 2000×1450mm — does a standard 2440mm panel fit?
It depends on how you stack and on the feeding direction — laid across, laid diagonally, or pushed straight over the deck by the pusher without resting on it. A full pallet of standard 1220×2440mm panels usually needs a larger deck, or the panels are pushed across by the pusher instead. Tell us the panel size, the stack layout and how you load today, and we will size the configuration to the actual format.
Can it be interlocked with the press and the multi-blade saw?
Yes. We supply it as part of a complete line and provide the interlock interface between the platform, the pusher, the roller conveyor, the press or the multi-blade saw — including the platform-in-position signal, the allow-to-push signal and the safety interlocks. Tell us the downstream machine models and interface requirements, and we will issue the matching connection drawings.
What information do you need from me before quoting?
Panel dimensions and pallet weight, target pick-up height and the downstream infeed height, loading direction and station layout, power supply and interlock interface requirements, plus whether you need accessories such as a dust cover or light curtain. With that information we can give you a configuration that drops straight into production, not a generic quotation.
