The GTJZ-1214 is the last 12 m model in the family that still uses a 1,160 mm (45.7 in) body. The platform height is 11.8 m (38.7 ft), the working height is 13.8 m (45.3 ft), and the machine weighs about 2,950 kg (6,504 lb). The platform load is 320 kg (705 lb). The point of this model is not just the height; it is the height without moving up to a 1,400 mm chassis.
The platform is 2,270 × 1,130 mm and the extension deck is 900 mm, rated 113 kg. The 1,160 mm width keeps the 1214 in the same aisle class as the 0810. That is a different purchase decision from the 1416, which needs 1,400 mm and a wider route.
Why the GTJZ-1214 exists
A 12 m high bay often has the same 1,160 mm aisle as the 8 m area. The 1214 exists for that building. It gives 11.8 m platform height and 13.8 m working height without forcing a 1,400 mm wide-body machine into a route that was sized for the 0810.
The 2,950 kg machine weight is the floor and goods-lift conversation. The 320 kg platform load is enough for one worker with tools or two workers with a light tool load, but it is not a material platform. If the work face is above 13.8 m working height, the next step is the 1416 or 1618, and the route must be rechecked.
What changes at 12 m
Buyers often compare the 1214 with the 1416 on platform height alone. The 1214 is the machine for a building that already accepts a 1,160 mm body; the 1416 is the machine for a building that can accept a 1,400 mm body and needs 13.8 m. The 1214’s 2,950 kg weight and 320 kg platform load sit between the 8 m and 14 m classes, so the floor and goods-lift checks should be done before the height comparison.
The 1214 is also a better fit than the 1416 when the high-bay aisle is fixed and the work is repetitive. If the aisle is 1,160 mm, the 1416 is not a candidate, regardless of its extra height. That is the single most useful way to choose between them.
When the 1214 is the wrong machine
Do not choose the 1214 if the aisle is narrower than 1,160 mm, if the work face is above 13.8 m working height, or if the task needs a 450 kg platform load. The 0810-Z is the narrow 8 m alternative at 840 mm; the 1416 and 1618 are the next height steps, and both need a wider route. The 1214 should also not be specified for a goods lift rated below its 2,950 kg machine weight plus the operator and tools.

Work-face planning
Platform height is 11.8 m and working height is 13.8 m, a 2.0 m difference. A work face at 11.0 m needs about 13.0 m of working height and leaves about 0.8 m of margin. A work face at 12.0 m would need about 14.0 m and is outside the 1214.
Do not use the nominal 12 m as a measured height. The measured platform is 11.8 m and the measured working height is 13.8 m. Quote those figures against the task and keep the 320 kg platform limit in the load plan.

Site fit and transport
The 1,160 mm body is the route number. It is the same width class as the 0810, so a building that already accepts an 0810 can usually consider the 1214 for the high bay. The 2,950 kg weight is higher than the 0810’s 2,250 kg and needs a floor and goods-lift check. The 2,270 × 1,130 mm platform and 900 mm extension are the working area.
The 1214 is a good fit for high-bay racking, sprinkler and lighting maintenance, MEP shafts and warehouse roofs where the aisle stays at 1,160 mm. It is not the right choice for a 1,400 mm-only route, a 230 kg two-person material task or a work face above 13.8 m working height.
Options and accessories
The 900 mm extension deck and non-marking tyres are the practical options. Battery, charger and component brands can be quoted, but the 1,160 mm body, 320 kg platform load and 2,950 kg machine weight are the fixed points. Confirm the final configuration and documentation set on the quotation.
Materials and main components
The 1214 uses the family scissor stack, checkered platform plate, folding guardrail and oil-free link pins. The 12 m stack and 2,950 kg chassis put more load into the base than the 8 m models, so the component list and the floor check matter. Check the quotation if the machine is going onto a suspended slab or a goods lift.
Certifications and standards
The 1214 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
Factory testing covers overload, brakes, emergency stop, emergency descent, hydraulic leaks, electrical safety, battery condition, weld inspection and guardrail/gate operation. 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. Export packing includes 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 1,160 mm body, the 2,950 kg weight and the folded envelope against the route. Confirm the goods-lift capacity and the high-bay aisle. A 1,160 mm machine can still be stopped by a 1,100 mm door or a 2,500 kg lift; measure both.

About Hontylift
Hontylift builds the 1214 for high-bay work where the aisle is already fixed at 1,160 mm. The 12 m line is produced in Jinan with the same family control and service architecture as the 8 m models. Every unit is load tested before packing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1214 vs 1416 — which one?
Choose the 1214 when the aisle is 1,160 mm and 11.8 m platform height is enough. Choose the 1416 when the work face needs 13.8 m platform height and the route can take 1,400 mm.
Does it fit a 1,160 mm aisle?
The body is 1,160 mm, so the aisle needs clearance beyond that figure for the operator, racking and wall protection. Measure the narrowest point and confirm the route with the outline drawing.
What is the machine weight?
About 2,950 kg. The weight is confirmed for this page and is used in Key Specs, Technical, FAQ and Product schema.
What floor load does it need?
Request wheel-load data for a suspended slab, mezzanine or goods lift. The average footprint pressure is not a point load.
How fast does it travel?
3.5 km/h stowed and 0.8 km/h 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 30 A charger. Confirm the final pack wiring and charger on the quotation.
Does it have outriggers?
The 1214 is a self-propelled scissor lift without outriggers in the published configuration. Use it on firm, level ground and check the floor.
What is the warranty?
36 months structural and 12 months whole machine. Wear parts and consumables are excluded; claims are answered within one business day.
