The scissor lift raises or lowers products to the working height required by the next machine or conveyor. In special packaging lines it bridges height differences between stations and makes loading and unloading easier and safer.
It is used together with conveyors and other line equipment. See complete examples in our automated packaging lines.
Full specifications, layout drawings and options are in the product catalogue.
Where it is used
The scissor lift raises or lowers products to the working height required by the next machine or conveyor. In packaging lines it bridges height differences between stations and makes loading and unloading easier and safer.
Loading heavy or bulky products
Products are lowered to a comfortable loading height and raised to the conveyor, reducing manual lifting.
Height differences between stations
Machines and conveyors with different working heights are linked without steps.
Stacking and destacking
Stacks are raised or lowered step by step as products are added or removed.
How it fits into a packaging line
The lift is placed at the start or end of a line, or between stations with different working heights, and is sized for the product weight and dimensions.
Line examples
Edda line equipment is used in complete systems such as the Speedwrap Profiline, Heavy Duty Lines, Spinner 1800 Sofa Line and Spinner 2200 S Pallet. Each line is engineered around the customer’s products, output and layout, and the equipment is built to match.
What to tell us
- The product range: smallest and largest dimensions and the heaviest product.
- The machines before and after this station.
- Line speed and products per hour.
- Working height and available floor space.
- Power and compressed air available on site.
Service and support
Line equipment is installed together with the machines it serves, by Edda and its local distributors, with remote support from our engineers in Bursa, Türkiye.
Frequently asked questions
Is it made to measure?
Yes. Length, width and working height are built to suit your products and the Edda machine or line it connects to.
Can it be added to an existing line later?
Usually yes. Send us a sketch of your line and the product range, and our engineers will check the connection.
Why use a lift instead of lifting by hand?
It reduces strain on operators and the risk of damage when handling heavy or bulky products.
Who installs the equipment?
Edda and its local distributors install line equipment together with the machines it serves.
Is the equipment matched to Edda machines?
Yes. Working height, width and connection points are designed for the Edda machine or line it connects to.
Can you supply the whole line around our machine?
Yes. Edda designs and builds conveyors, transfers, lifters and buffering equipment together with its machines.
Can the lift be built into an automatic line?
Yes. It can be placed between conveyors and machines in an Edda line, sized for your products and working heights.
Why the equipment around a machine matters
The output of a packaging line is set by its slowest step, and that step is often not the wrapping machine itself but the handling around it: loading, aligning, transferring, waiting and unloading. Well-chosen line equipment removes these small delays and the manual lifting that comes with them.
- Steadier flow: products arrive at each machine in the right position and at the right time.
- Less manual handling: operators guide and supervise instead of lifting and pushing.
- Fewer stops: short pauses at one station no longer stop the whole line.
- Better packing quality: products enter wrapping and closing machines straight and centred.
