Lifting & Stacking
Lifting equipment for all your operation areas and needs
Our lifting equipment is built to help you raise, lower and transport goods in a safe and effortless manner. You can find a range of lifting and stacking devices that even act as mobile workstations with adjustable working heights.
1. Choosing the right lifting equipment
The right lifting tools allow you to reliably transport goods around your warehouse or workshop. You’ll find a wide range of high-quality lifting equipment in our online shop, including stacker trucks, pallet trucks, and cranes. Choose from manual, electric, or high-performance hydraulic tools.
The lifting devices you’ll find on our site are suitable for a variety of industries and operations. Depending on the model and type of device, you can use them either in warehouses or in outdoor areas with flat ground. Devices such as lift tables or scissor lift trucks are portable and can be moved between places if required.
To help in choosing the right lifting and stacking equipment for your needs, you may want to draw up a profile of requirements in advance. Consider the following questions before committing to a purchase:
- What kind of goods do you want to lift, lower and transport?
- How heavy are the goods you want to lift?
- To what height and range do you want to lift goods?
- Do you require stationary, mobile or portable lifting equipment?
- Do you require indoor or outdoor lifting devices?
- If mobile, will your lifting equipment require special tyres or castors?
- Will you use the lifting device on a regular basis or only occasionally?
- Which type of lifting or stacking equipment makes the most sense given the available infrastructure, operations and budget of your company?
- Do you need special lifting devices for ride-on or pedestrian operation?
2. Industrial trucks: versatile and powerful equipment
Pallet and stacker trucks are the most important lifting tools for most tradespeople, as they can transport up to 3,000kg with ease. If you have to regularly move heavy loads in your day-to-day work life, then consider buying an industrial lifting device.
Depending on the model, you can transport containers and pallets manually or electrically and lift them to heights of up to 4,800mm. Check out a selection of our top industrial trucks below:

3. Lifting technology for ergonomic work
When you work with heavy loads and have to transport them regularly, it’s important to set up practical workstations that improve efficiency in the workplace. The innovative technology found in all our lifting devices reduces physical strain and effort on your part, leading to easier work and healthier backs.
What’s more, many of our models are portable and can be moved and adjusted as required. You can lock them to a back-friendly working height, for instance. At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you’ll find plenty of ergonomic lifting equipment to make your day-to-day work easier.

Material lifts
Our material lifts are exceptional all-rounders in lifting. Designed and tested to meet high standards of both safety and quality, they excel in a variety of areas, including portability, ease of use and lifting range. For transporting small goods and items, an electric lifter offers an ergonomic solution.
Material lifts provide practical lifting capabilities for use in and around your warehouse. Their front and load-bearing wheels can be driven either manually or electronically, while their stacking device can be adjusted to a height that best suits you and your colleagues.
4. Lifting equipment for transporting and rotating heavy loads
Our cranes are designed to lift and rotate extremely heavy loads, including weights of several tonnes. They use durable chains running over movable rollers, which reduces the manual effort required to lift heavy goods. Unlike simple lifting devices that can only move loads vertically, our cranes provide a full 360-degree scope for rotating heavy loads. Roller-equipped cranes can also move goods horizontally, giving you complete three-dimensional handling capacity.
Our cranes are built from sturdy and robust metal frames to handle heavy loads safely. This reliable construction allows you to transport goods safely to different heights with confidence, whichever model you pick. Choose from electrically or manually operated cranes or pick one with a mounted jib and a trolley to extend the device’s working radius. Most crane arms can extend and rotate 360 degrees, giving you the flexibility to lift heavy items and place them precisely where they’re needed.
5. Transport containers for use with lifting equipment
Many of our lifting devices can be used in conjunction with various transport and storage containers. Depending on the goods being transported and the lifting technology used, these can be combined to cover a wide range of applications:
| Use with … | Suitable transport containers |
|---|---|
| Stacker trucks |

6. FAQs on lifting equipment
To ensure you get the best lifting devices for you and your company, consider the following criteria:
- Size and weight of the goods you want to transport
- Load capacity
- Lifting range and scope of function
- How often and for how long you want to use the lifting or stacking device
- Whether you want a mobile vehicle or a stationary device
- Whether you want to use your equipment indoors or outdoors
- The type of power supply (e.g. manual or electric) you want
- The surfaces your device will be used on
- Any ergonomic aspects
The main difference between hoists and cranes is their mobility and rotation capacity. Hoists can only raise and lower items in rigid vertical or horizontal motions, whereas cranes can be rotated in different directions. Certain cranes with roller systems can even transport goods three-dimensionally. Hoists, on the other hand, are stationary when in use and are typically attached to cross beams, ceilings or cranes.
Using the right lifting equipment significantly reduces physical strain and helps prevent workplace injuries. Electric lifting devices offer the best ergonomic benefits with minimal physical effort, but even manual lifting tools remove much of the strain from heavy lifting tasks. Both options protect your back and joints while reducing fatigue. Many lifting devices can also double as adjustable worktables. This prevents back strain and joint stress throughout your shift. You'll be able to raise, lower, and transport goods more easily while maintaining better posture and reducing the risk of injury.
