MOBILE ELECTRIC FLOOR TROLLEY
Lever lift ZH

The ZH lifting platform from Zeilhofer Handling Technology is a mobile, battery-powered floor trolley for the ergonomic handling of loads up to 100 kg. It is the world's first lifting platform with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery and operates completely wirelessly and without a compressed air connection.

 

An omniwheel chassis allows movement in any direction without repositioning, while the lightweight aluminum construction keeps the weight down. The 48-volt battery provides over 8 hours of runtime, covering a full shift, and can be swapped in under 30 seconds. The lift is operated via a joystick with programmable working heights. Safety systems such as an emergency brake and overload protection ensure reliable protection during continuous operation. The ZH lift can be optionally equipped with an articulated arm. It is manufactured in Holzkirchen, Bavaria.

CORE FUNCTIONS
WHAT MAKES THE ZH LEVER LIFT UNIQUE

Six innovations that together create a completely new concept in mobile handling technology.

01 OMNIWHEELS CHASSIS

Specially designed omnidirectional wheels allow movement in any direction without repositioning. Significantly more agile on industrial floors than conventional fixed casters — even in confined production areas.

FAQ / Q&A
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LIFT ZH

01 What loads can the ZH lifting lift move?

The ZH lifting platform is designed for loads up to 100 kg. Combined with its lightweight aluminum construction and 48-volt battery drive, it is particularly suitable for ergonomic handling in final assembly – for example, for vehicle seats, modules, or components that need to be positioned precisely.

02 How is the ZH lifting lift powered?

The ZH lifting platform runs on a 48-volt battery — completely wireless and mobile. This makes it flexible for use at changing workplaces without a permanently installed power supply. A full battery charge covers a full shift.

03 What is special about the Omniwheel chassis?

The Omniwheel chassis allows for omnidirectional movement—the lift can be moved in any direction without having to rotate the unit. This saves space in confined production environments and enables precise positioning even in the tightest spaces.

04 In which applications is the ZH lifting platform used?

The ZH lifting platform is primarily used in automotive final assembly — typical applications include seat assembly, module installation, and the handling of light to medium-weight components. The device is also used in logistics, furniture assembly, and special-purpose machine construction.

05 How ergonomic is the operation?

The ZH lifting platform is explicitly designed for ergonomics. Its low weight, precise controls, and effortless movement significantly reduce physical strain on operators. Integrated safety features ensure reliable protection during continuous operation.

06 Can the ZH lifting platform be adapted to our application?

Yes. The ZH lifting platform is configured specifically for each project — with individual fittings (grippers, suction cups, hooks, special solutions) and tailored to your specific components. Pre-acceptance testing is available upon request in our Holzkirchen showroom or digitally.
