GTJZ-1012 32ft (9.8 m) Self-Propelled Scissor Lift — 320 kg

The GTJZ-1012 is a 10 m class, self-propelled electric scissor lift for work up to a 9.8 m (32.2 ft) platform height and a 11.8 m (38.7 ft) working height. It carries 320 kg (705 lb) on the platform and 113 kg on the 900 mm extension deck. The standard build uses 4 × 2 drive; the source lists a DC 24 V / 4.5 kW motor or an AC 24 V / 3.4 kW motor. The machine weighs about 2,550 kg (5,622 lb) and measures 2,390 × 1,160 × 2,470 mm with the guardrail unfolded.

The 1012 in the model code is a nominal 10 m / 12 m class, not a measurement. The measured values are 9.8 m platform height and 11.8 m working height, and those are the values to quote against. The source configuration list writes the model as GTJZ-1012 in both its English and Chinese tables, and this page keeps that code.

Battery wording: the configuration list writes the battery as 4 × 6 V / 200 Ah and the charger as 24 V / 30 A; the source lists a DC 24 V / 4.5 kW motor and an AC 24 V / 3.4 kW motor. Do not infer the pack voltage from the four 6 V units alone. The final series/parallel wiring and pack voltage must be confirmed on the quotation, and the charger must match the confirmed pack. The page therefore quotes the source battery string and does not calculate charge time.

About the gallery images: the full-machine views are Tuhelift preview photos of the 10 m self-propelled family; the detail images are Mornlift reference photos from a comparable electric scissor lift. They are not photographs of the exact GTJZ-1012 production unit. Colour, decals, guardrail layout, battery wiring and component layout can differ. The specification table and quotation govern the build.

Key Specifications

Platform Height vs. Working Height — Read This First

Platform height is the distance from the ground to the platform deck. On the GTJZ-1012 the deck stops at 9.8 m. Working height adds the space an operator occupies above the deck, and on this machine it reaches 11.8 m, a 2.0 m calculated difference between the two source values.

The “1012” in the model code refers to the nominal 10 m / 12 m class. The measured values on this machine are 9.8 m platform height and 11.8 m working height. The source document uses GTJZ-1012 in both tables, so quote the measured values rather than the class number.

Class numbers are nominal. A 10 m class machine is often assumed to have a full 10 m platform, but the measured deck height here is 9.8 m. If the work face needs more than 11.8 m of working height, plan another method for the top of the task rather than relying on the class number.

Size the machine from the work face, not from the model number. Required working height equals work face height, plus the operator's standing space, plus the clearance needed to handle material. For example, a work face at 9.0 m needs about 11.0 m of working height once the operator and handling space are added (calculated example, using the 2.0 m difference in the source table). The 11.8 m on this machine covers that task with about 0.8 m to spare (calculated from 11.8 − 11.0 m). A work face at 10.0 m would need about 12.0 m (calculated using the same 2.0 m allowance) and is outside this model's rating.

The machine envelope is a separate dimension from the platform height. The machine is 2,390 mm long, 1,160 mm wide with the guardrail unfolded or folded, and 1,940 mm high with the guardrail folded. The source gives no narrower folded width, so check the 1,160 mm figure against the narrowest door, aisle, goods-lift opening and container on the route. If the route is tighter than 1,160 mm, this model does not fit without a different configuration or an engineering check.

Technical Specifications

How to read this table: values describe the standard build. Battery brand, battery wiring, motor variant, extension deck and alternative components change with the configuration you order. Check the quotation against this table before you sign.

Fit Check Before You Specify

Four questions decide whether this machine fits the job. If any answer is no, the machine is wrong for the site.

1. Is the required working height at or below 11.8 m? A 9.0 m work face needs about 11.0 m of working height (calculated example), which this machine covers; a 10.0 m work face needs about 12.0 m (calculated) and does not.
2. Is the total load on the platform at or below 320 kg, including people, tools and material? Is the load on the extension deck at or below 113 kg whenever it is extended? If not, choose a higher-capacity model.
3. Is the floor solid, level and rated for at least the calculated 9.0 kN/m² average? If the floor is suspended or the rating is unknown, have it checked before the order. The 9.0 kN/m² figure is an average; wheel point loads are higher.
4. Can the machine pass an opening 1,160 mm wide and 1,940 mm high with the guardrail folded, and does the route take the 2,390 mm length and about 2,550 kg weight? If not, choose a narrower or lighter machine.

If the work face is at 9.0 m, choose this model, because 11.8 m of working height covers the operator and the handling space. If the route is narrower than 1,160 mm, the source gives no narrower folded width, so check the outline drawing before you order. If the floor is a suspended slab, request the wheel load data, because 9.0 kN/m² is an average figure. The 10 m configuration list does not include outriggers; stability relies on the chassis, so use the machine on firm, level ground and check the floor.

Where It Fits — and Where It Doesn't

Suitable for

• Racking, sprinkler and lighting maintenance in a high-bay warehouse. The floor is sealed concrete, the platform stays at or below 320 kg, and the 9.8 m deck reaches the work face while the machine moves under its own power.
• MEP and fit-out work on level hardstanding. Tools and cable can be carried on the deck, and the 900 mm extension deck stays inside its 113 kg limit.
• Rental and facilities work where the machine moves between sites by truck or in a container, with the guardrail folded to 1,940 mm.
• Large-building maintenance where the work face is below 9.8 m and the route is wide enough for the 1,160 mm body. The 4 × 2 drive suits firm, level floors.

Not suitable for

• Suspended floors and mezzanines rated below the calculated 9.0 kN/m² average. The approximately 2,550 kg machine stands on four wheels, and the average pressure is not the wheel load. Have the slab checked by a structural engineer, or work from a fixed platform.
• Continuous multi-shift operation without a duty review. Hydraulic oil temperature rises under continuous cycling; ask us to confirm the duty cycle for your shift pattern.
• Unpaved, gravel or soft ground. The non-marking tyres are made for hard surfaces. Choose a tracked machine for site ground.
• Explosion-proof or hazardous areas, and goods or passenger lift duty. This is a work platform, not a lift. Choose a certified machine for those duties.
• Work faces above 9.8 m platform height or 11.8 m working height, and routes narrower or lower than the access envelope. Choose a larger or narrower model instead of working around the limit.

Travel, Gradeability and Working Limits

The machine has 4 × 2 drive. The 10 m configuration list does not include outriggers, so stability relies on the chassis and the 1,160 mm width. Use it on firm, level ground, keep the platform stowed when travelling, and do not raise the platform on a slope or on ground that cannot take the wheel loads.

Materials and Main Component Brands

The two hydraulic oil grades are seasonal, not interchangeable. N32# keeps oil moving in cold ambient, and N46# holds film strength in heat.

Oil-free link pins remove the grease points from the daily walk-around. The control system, battery, drive system, charger and tyres can be quoted with alternative brands where the configuration allows. Tell us which items must be changed when you enquire, because the lead time and the documentation set follow the configuration you choose.

Options and Accessories

Standard, fitted to every unit:

The 10 m configuration list does not include outriggers. The standard build is the 20 features above; if your site requires outriggers, ask for a different configuration or an engineering review.

Typical Applications

• High-bay racking and sprinkler maintenance in an operating warehouse. Work height up to 9.8 m platform, sealed concrete floor, tools and materials on the deck, and the 1,160 mm-wide machine moves under its own power.
• Duct, cable tray and lighting installation in a new build. Level hardstanding indoors, extension deck used to reach over a fixed obstruction, load kept inside 113 kg on the extension.
• High-level cleaning and repair of glazing, signage and ventilation grilles. Firm level floor, indoor or covered area, tools and a tool bag on the deck.
• Short-duration work on construction sites with firm, level ground. Guardrail folded to 1,940 mm for transport, machine delivered by truck or container and set up on site on firm, level ground.

Certifications and Standards

The CE declaration, the load test report and the operation manual travel with each unit. A third-party witness for the factory test can be arranged on request.

The design basis is EN 280; US buyers should confirm the ANSI A92.20 / A92.22 documentation set for their site with our engineering team.

Factory Testing and Pre-delivery Inspection

The test reports travel with each unit. A third-party inspector can witness the final test on request.

Delivery, Packaging and Installation

Lead time is 15–25 working days for a single unit and 25–35 days for container orders. Custom configurations are quoted separately.

• Packing: seaworthy export packing with a steel frame, moisture barrier and strapping; plywood case on request.
• Folded envelope: 2,390 × 1,160 × 1,940 mm with the guardrail folded, as listed in the source. Machine weight is about 2,550 kg. Send the container type and we will confirm the loading plan with the packing list.
• Split shipment, commissioning and operator training are quoted separately on request.

Before it arrives, check these 4 things:

1. Floor rating and floor level at the work area, against the calculated 9.0 kN/m² average and about 2,550 kg machine weight. Request wheel point loads for a suspended slab.
2. Door, lift and ramp clearances against 1,160 mm width and 1,940 mm folded height. The source gives no narrower folded width; confirm the route with the outline drawing.
3. Charging point: mains power near the parking position for the 24 V / 30 A charger, with the final battery pack wiring confirmed.
4. Delivery date and unloading conditions, including a forklift or crane rated for about 2,550 kg at the site.

Warranty and After-Sales Support

What voids the warranty: replacing hydraulic oil or filters outside the service interval, modifying the electrical system, or dismantling hydraulic cylinders without authorisation. Overloading the platform, travelling on a slope with the platform raised, or fitting non-genuine parts also voids the cover.

Warranty claims are answered within one business day. Send the serial number, a description of the fault and photographs or a short video to the service team. Spare parts are available for 10 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which height should I compare — platform height or working height?

Compare both, and use working height for the task. Platform height is the deck floor above the ground, 9.8 m on this machine. Working height is 11.8 m. If the work face, the operator and the material handling space together need more than 11.8 m, this model is too small.

Why does the model say 1012 when the platform is 9.8 m?

The 1012 is a nominal 10 m / 12 m class, not a measured height. The source configuration list writes the model as GTJZ-1012 in both tables. Quote the measured 9.8 m platform and 11.8 m working height against your task.

How much can the platform and the extension deck carry?

The platform carries 320 kg in total, including people, tools and material. The 900 mm extension deck carries 113 kg, and that limit applies whenever the deck is extended. Keep the combined load inside both limits: the platform figure covers the whole deck, and the extension figure covers the sliding section.

Can I drive with the platform raised, and how fast?

Yes, at 0.8 km/h on a firm level surface. The machine travels at 3.5 km/h with the platform stowed. Do not lift or lower on a slope, and lower the platform before longer moves. The 10 m configuration list does not include outriggers; use the machine on firm, level ground.

What floor capacity does the machine need?

Allow about 9.0 kN/m² on average, calculated from the approximately 2,550 kg machine over a 2.39 × 1.16 m footprint. That is an average, not a wheel point load. Request the wheel load data for a suspended slab, mezzanine or raised floor, and have a structural engineer check the rating.

Will it fit through a door, a goods lift or a container?

The source lists 2,390 mm overall length, 1,160 mm width with the guardrail unfolded or folded, plus 1,940 mm folded height. The source gives no narrower folded width, so use 1,160 mm for the route check. Send the door, lift car and container dimensions with your enquiry so the access route and loading plan can be checked.

What is the battery configuration?

The configuration list writes the battery as 4 × 6 V / 200 Ah and the charger as 24 V / 30 A; the source lists a DC 24 V / 4.5 kW motor and an AC 24 V / 3.4 kW motor. The final series/parallel wiring and pack voltage must be confirmed on the quotation, and the charger must match that confirmed pack.

How long does a full lift take?

A full lift takes 2.0–3.3 min, calculated from the 9.8 m travel at the 3–5 m/min lifting speed. The higher figure applies at the lower speed, and the time is for a complete lift from stowed to full height. Partial lifts take proportionally less time, and load, pump condition and oil temperature affect the actual result.

Which safety devices are fitted as standard?

The machine has an emergency stop button, an emergency descent system and tilt protection. Automatic pit protection, hose burst protection with anti-drop valves, a platform self-locking door, a buzzer and a horn are also standard. A safety maintenance support rod, proportional control, automatic braking, charging protection and fault diagnosis complete the package.

Does the machine have outriggers?

The 10 m configuration list does not include outriggers. Stability relies on the chassis and the 1,160 mm width. Use the machine on firm, level ground and have the floor checked for the wheel loads; if your site requires outriggers, ask for a different configuration or an engineering review.

What does the warranty cover, and what voids it?

The structure is covered for 24 months and the whole machine for 12 months, including parts and labour on hydraulic, electrical and drive components. Wear parts and consumables are excluded. The warranty is void if you exceed the service interval for oil and filters, modify the electrical system or dismantle cylinders without authorisation. Overloading, lifting on a slope or fitting non-genuine parts also voids the cover.

What are the lead time, packing and payment terms?

Lead time is 15–25 working days for a single unit and 25–35 days for container orders; custom configurations are quoted separately. The machine ships in seaworthy export packing with a steel frame, moisture barrier and strapping, and a plywood case is available on request. Payment terms and the Incoterm are confirmed in the quotation; send the delivery country and port with your enquiry.
