The GTJZ-0608-M and GTJZD-0608 share the same 5.8 m (19.0 ft) platform height and 230 kg (507 lb) rated load; the only difference is how they drive. This GTJZ-0608-M uses hydraulic drive. Choose it for hydraulic travel, or choose the GTJZD-0608 if your site prefers electric drive.
The GTJZ-0608-M is the 6 m class machine for routes that were never designed around a scissor lift. Its body is 780 mm (30.7 in) wide, its platform is 1,680 × 780 mm, and the complete machine weighs about 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). That combination is the reason this model exists: it can pass an 800 mm door and still put a 230 kg platform at 5.8 m.
The working height is 7.8 m (25.6 ft). The platform extension adds 900 mm and carries 113 kg. The machine is not a stripped-down toy; it keeps the same 4 × 2 drive, non-marking tyres and folding guardrail family architecture as the wider 8 m models, but packages it around a narrower chassis.
Why the GTJZ-0608-M exists
Most 6 m scissor lifts are sold on height alone. The GTJZ-0608-M is sold on the route. A 780 mm body with a 1,200 kg operating weight is a different purchase decision from a 1,160 mm, 2,250 kg 8 m machine. If the door is 800 mm, the lift has to be chosen before the work face is discussed, because a wider machine never reaches the work face at all.
The compact body also changes the floor conversation. The load is spread over a shorter, narrower footprint, and the machine can work in retail units, plant rooms, fit-out corridors and service areas where a full-width chassis would block the aisle. The 230 kg platform limit is the trade-off, so tools and materials need to be planned rather than piled on.

Work-face planning
Platform height is 5.8 m and working height is 7.8 m, a 2.0 m difference. A work face at 5.0 m needs about 7.0 m of working height once the operator and handling space are added; the GTJZ-0608-M covers that with about 0.8 m to spare. A work face at 6.0 m would need about 8.0 m and is outside this model.
Measure the work face, the operator space and the material handling space separately. Do not buy the 0608-M because “6 m” sounds close enough; buy it because the measured working height fits and the 780 mm body fits the route.

Site fit and transport
An 800 mm door is the headline check. The body is 780 mm, which leaves 20 mm total clearance before mirrors, thresholds, door closers or a lip are considered. Measure the narrowest point, not the door frame, and confirm the route with the outline drawing. The folded guardrail height and the 1,680 × 780 mm platform are part of the same check.
The machine weighs about 1,200 kg. That is light for a 6 m lift, but it is still a point-load question on a suspended slab, a mezzanine or a goods lift. Ask for the wheel load data and have the floor checked. The 900 mm extension deck carries 113 kg and is useful over a fixed obstruction, but it does not increase the platform load.
Options and accessories
The 900 mm extension deck, non-marking tyres and 24 V / 25 A charger are the practical options to confirm for this model. Alternative batteries, chargers or tyre compounds change the quotation and the documentation set. Ask for the configuration you need before the order, not after the machine is built.
Materials and main components
The compact chassis uses the same family guardrail, checkered platform plate and oil-free link-pin approach as the wider models. The narrow body means the battery box, charger and hydraulic package are packaged around a shorter chassis, so the component list on the quotation should be checked against the drawing rather than assumed from a larger model.
Certifications and standards
The 0608-M is presented with the family CE / EN 280 / ISO 9001 documentation set. Certification and test documents are supplied for the destination market. Confirm the current certificate number, issuer and scope with the quotation before relying on any certification statement on this page.
Factory testing and pre-delivery inspection
Each unit is load tested and checked for brakes, emergency stop, emergency descent, hydraulic leaks, electrical safety and battery condition before packing. The test report travels with the machine; a third-party witness can be arranged on request.
Delivery, packaging and installation
Lead time is 15–25 working days for a single unit and 25–35 days for container orders. The machine ships in seaworthy export packing with a steel frame, moisture barrier and strapping; a plywood case is available on request. The quotation confirms the Incoterm, port and payment terms.
Before dispatch, check the 800 mm door, the goods-lift car, the ramp and the unloading point against the 780 mm body, the 1,200 kg weight and the folded envelope. A machine that fits the work face but not the route is still the wrong machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit an 800 mm door?
The body is 780 mm wide, so an 800 mm opening leaves about 20 mm total clearance. Measure the narrowest point, including door closers, thresholds and any lip, and confirm the route with the outline drawing before ordering.
0608-M vs 0810-Z — which one?
Choose the 0608-M when the door or aisle is the hard limit and 5.8 m platform height is enough. Choose the 0810-Z when the route is about 900 mm, the work face is higher and the extra 320 kg platform load is useful.
What floor load does it need?
The machine weighs about 1,200 kg. Ask for the wheel load data for a suspended slab, mezzanine or goods lift; the average footprint figure is not a point load.
Can I use the extension deck at full height?
The 900 mm extension deck carries 113 kg and can be used when deployed, but the combined platform load must stay within the 230 kg platform limit. Confirm the load plan with the quotation.
How fast does it travel?
3.5 km/h with the platform stowed and 0.8 km/h with the platform raised, on a firm level surface. Lower the platform before longer moves.
What battery and charger does it use?
The locked family data is 24 V 200 Ah with a 25 A charger. Confirm the final battery and charger configuration on the quotation.
Does it have outriggers?
The 0608-M is a self-propelled scissor lift without outriggers in the published configuration. Use it on firm, level ground and check the floor loading.
What is the warranty?
36 months structural and 12 months whole machine, with wear parts and consumables excluded. Claims are answered within one business day; spare parts availability is confirmed with the quotation.
