QN500, QN1000 and QN2000 Pneumatic Airbag Scissor Lift Tables
The SINOLIFT QN series uses a pneumatic airbag to raise a reinforced scissor platform for material positioning in warehouses, workshops, and production lines. Three models cover rated capacities of 500 kg, 1000 kg, and 2000 kg. All reach a maximum platform height of 840 mm, with different platform dimensions and supply pressure requirements.
At a packing bench or assembly station, load height affects how operators reach materials throughout a shift. A low pallet or container may require repeated bending as it empties. An adjustable lift table allows the working level to change with the task, helping keep components, cartons, or other goods within a more convenient reach.
The QN500 Pneumatic Airbag Scissor Lift Table combines foot-operated lift and lower controls, an integrated pressure gauge, a steel platform, and a reinforced scissor structure. The QN1000 and QN2000 extend the capacity choices for heavier applications. Selection should consider the load, its footprint, required working height, and available compressed-air supply rather than capacity alone.
Why use pneumatic lifting at a workstation?
Facilities with a suitable compressed-air network may consider an airbag lift table for repeated height adjustment. Air pressure acts through a reinforced air spring to operate the scissor mechanism. Foot controls let the operator request lifting or lowering without reaching for a separate hand lever during each adjustment.
The lifting drive does not use a hydraulic cylinder, so it avoids hydraulic oil leakage from that mechanism. This can be useful when handling materials near packing surfaces or production equipment. It does not mean the entire installation is maintenance-free, lubricant-free, or automatically suitable for a controlled hygiene environment. Air connections, controls, moving parts, and the platform still require appropriate care.
A lowered height of 230 mm on the QN500 and QN1000, or 240 mm on the QN2000, supports planning for lower work positions. These dimensions should be compared with the incoming load and transfer method. Floor-level access, a ramp, or a pit-mounted arrangement requires its own installation review.
Engineering highlights
Pneumatic airbag drive
A reinforced air spring operates the scissor lifting mechanism using compressed air. This provides an alternative lifting drive for sites with suitable air infrastructure.
Foot-operated height adjustment
Foot controls provide convenient lift and lower operation while keeping hands available for the work task. Hands must remain clear of moving components.
Reinforced scissor structure
Thickened steel scissor arms support the platform during vertical movement. Load placement and operating conditions should follow the instructions for the selected model.
Integrated pressure gauge
The gauge provides a visible pressure reading for the pneumatic system. It helps operators monitor supply conditions rather than estimate pressure from platform movement.
Powder-coated steel platform
The carbon steel platform has a protective powder-coated finish for industrial use. Exposure to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion should be considered during equipment selection.
Capacity and footprint choices
The range offers two platform sizes and three capacity ratings, allowing buyers to compare load support area, work access, and installation space together.
How the QN series supports daily material positioning
At a packing station, the platform can support goods while operators sort items, prepare cartons, or handle materials at different levels. Adjusting the height as work progresses may reduce repeated reaching to low positions. The same principle applies to component preparation and assembly tasks where the quantity or height of material changes.
Start model selection with the complete supported load, including any container or fixture placed on the table. QN500 has a 500 kg rating and a 1220 x 812 mm platform. QN1000 uses the same platform dimensions with a 1000 kg rating. QN2000 provides a 2000 kg rating and a larger 1220 x 1220 mm platform.
The larger platform may help accommodate a wider load, but it also changes operator reach and floor-space requirements. Review how materials will enter and leave the station, where operators will stand, and whether surrounding benches or conveyors create obstructions. A platform that fits the load still needs an accessible working arrangement.
Air supply is another selection factor. The listed pressure is 0.6 MPa for QN500 and QN1000, and 0.45 MPa for QN2000. Confirm required airflow, connection size, air treatment, and pressure regulation before installation. The supplied parameters do not specify air consumption or cycle time, so those details should be requested when matching the table to an existing compressor.
For production-line integration or pit mounting, provide the installation drawing and required transfer height. Check access for servicing, control placement, and clearance around the moving structure. A pit arrangement should be evaluated as part of the complete workstation rather than assumed to follow directly from the table's minimum height.
The listed net weights are 282 kg, 288 kg, and 440 kg respectively. These values matter when planning delivery, placement, and floor support. They do not establish mobility or an operating floor-load rating. Confirm the installation method and supporting surface for the actual site.
Work frequency should be part of the discussion as well. A station that adjusts height once per container has different demands from a process that raises and lowers the platform repeatedly during each batch. Explain the expected number of cycles, time available for each movement, and whether other air-powered equipment shares the supply. These details help establish whether the proposed pneumatic arrangement suits the production schedule.
For an application review, provide the heaviest load, smallest and largest footprints, supporting container, and desired transfer method. Photographs or a simple layout drawing can show obstacles that a platform measurement alone misses. Include the operator's standing position and the location of nearby equipment. This gives the supplier a clearer basis for reviewing the table, controls, and installation, while keeping the final recommendation tied to the actual workplace.
Common buyer questions answered
What powers the lifting mechanism?
Compressed air operates a reinforced airbag or air spring that raises the scissor platform. A suitable air supply is required for the selected model.
Does the lift table use hydraulic oil?
The airbag lifting drive replaces a hydraulic cylinder and avoids hydraulic oil leakage from that drive. Follow the maintenance instructions for all other components.
Which model suits a heavier load?
Compare the complete supported weight with the 500, 1000, or 2000 kg rating, then verify platform dimensions and load distribution. Weight alone does not establish application suitability.
How high does the platform rise?
All three models list an 840 mm maximum height. Minimum height is 230 mm for QN500 and QN1000, and 240 mm for QN2000.
Can it be used for automotive work?
The described application is positioning suitable automotive components, tools, and materials. The supplied information does not establish suitability for lifting a complete vehicle or carrying people.
Can it be installed in a pit?
Pit-mounted applications can be evaluated. Provide the proposed pit dimensions, floor details, transfer method, and service-access requirements before confirming an installation.
