Precision Under Pressure: How a German Manufacturer Benefited from CATHAYLIFT's Hydraulic Electric Lift
Earlier this year, a high-end automotive parts manufacturer in Stuttgart, Germany faced a growing challenge in their warehouse. Their multi-level storage system demanded frequent lifting of heavy components-some weighing over 800 kilograms-to upper mezzanine floors. The forklifts they used were noisy, hard to control at high lift points, and lacked the vertical precision required for safe positioning.
In search of a more refined solution, the facility manager turned to CATHAYLIFT's Upgraded Scissor Type Hydraulic Electric Lift, intrigued by its clean electric operation and advanced hydraulic system. After consultation and customization, a model was delivered within four weeks.
Once installed, the difference was immediately noticeable. The hydraulic system allowed the platform to lift heavy engine parts with complete stability, and more importantly, hold the platform at any height without needing continuous power. This was crucial in their workflow, where precision timing between levels was necessary for safety and efficiency.
"Our workers were impressed by how smooth the platform moved," the manager noted. "It didn't jerk, didn't shake. The hydraulic lift stopped exactly where we needed it, and stayed there. That's something we couldn't get from mechanical lifts."
Beyond precision, the hydraulic system brought another unexpected advantage: emergency readiness. One afternoon, a brief power outage occurred during a busy shift. Thanks to the hydraulic pressure locking mechanism, the elevated platform remained completely stable. No load was lost, no staff were at risk.
This experience solidified their trust in hydraulic systems. "Electric is clean, but the hydraulic system is the muscle," the manager concluded. "Together, they gave us a tool that's not only smart-but safe."
The successful implementation of the Upgraded Scissor Type Hydraulic Electric Lift at this German facility underscores why hydraulics remain the preferred choice for heavy-duty, high-precision lifting, especially when paired with modern electric technology.
