The idea behind it
Reiner Ruggaber
Brief description
The RUWI Basic Lift Table is the entry-level model in the lift table series—a sturdy scissor lift table with a perforated HPL worktop that does exactly what a lift table in a workshop is supposed to do: raise workpieces to the correct working height, secure them firmly, and remain mobile. No extension arms, no swivel function. Exactly what many woodworkers need.
Tabletop measuring 1,200 × 800 mm made of multiplex with HPL coating on both sides—scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean. 96 chamfered holes (Ø 20 mm) turn it into a clamping station: clamps, clamping bolts, and stops can be flexibly positioned anywhere. Height adjustment is infinitely variable from 450 to 1,050 mm via the German-made hydraulic foot pump – featuring an integrated safety valve that lowers the platform in a controlled manner in case of overload instead of allowing it to bottom out. Load capacity up to 300 kg.
Four solid rubber swivel casters (100 mm diameter) with a locking mechanism make the table versatile—it can be used as an assembly table, a gluing station, a workbench extension, or a transport cart for heavy workpieces. The 20-mm hole pattern conforms to the established standard, so accessories from Festool MFT, Sauter Variobench, or other 20-mm tables are universally compatible.
If you need an extendable tabletop up to 2,200 mm and storage space right at the table, the RUWI Classic Lift Table is the right choice. If you want a swiveling second perforated panel and a clamping system package, check out the RUWI Premium Lift Table. If you want the base frame without a tabletop for your own custom builds, the RUWI Lift Table Base Frame is the perfect foundation.
