The GTJZ-1618 is the 16 m class machine with manual outriggers. The platform height is 15.8 m (51.8 ft), the working height is 17.8 m (58.4 ft), and the platform load is 320 kg (705 lb). The body is 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wide with the guardrail unfolded and 1,140 mm folded. The machine weighs about 4,700 kg (10,362 lb) and uses a 2,990 × 1,130 mm platform with a 900 mm extension deck rated 100 kg.
The outriggers are the defining feature. They are deployed before the platform is raised, they support the machine on firm level ground, and they are not used while travelling. The 320 kg platform load is tied to the specified outrigger setup; the quotation is the controlling document for the final configuration.
Why the GTJZ-1618 exists
A 16 m scissor lift is a different stability problem from a 12 m or 14 m machine. The 1618 solves it with manual outriggers and a 1,420 mm body. The machine exists for work faces that need 15.8 m platform height and 17.8 m working height, where the route can take the 1,420 mm body and the floor can take the outrigger point loads.
The 320 kg platform load is the highest in the family, but it is not a licence to drive with the outriggers deployed. The outriggers are a setup step: position, deploy, level, raise. The machine must be stowed and the outriggers retracted before travelling. If the task needs a 16 m platform and the site cannot take outriggers, the model is wrong for the site.

Work-face planning
Platform height is 15.8 m and working height is 17.8 m, a 2.0 m difference. A work face at 15.0 m needs about 17.0 m of working height and leaves about 0.8 m of margin. A work face at 16.0 m would need about 18.0 m and is outside the 1618.
The 320 kg platform load includes people, tools and material; the 900 mm extension deck is limited to 100 kg. The outrigger setup and rated load must be confirmed with the quotation. Do not infer a separate outrigger capacity or a different load from the platform figure.

Configuration note: final pack wiring, charger voltage, folded width and the outrigger rated-load setup must be confirmed with the quotation. The published 320 kg platform rating applies with the specified outrigger setup.
Site fit and transport
The 1,420 mm body is the route check; the 1,140 mm folded width is a transport figure and must be confirmed with the quotation. The 4,700 kg weight and the outrigger point loads are the floor check. The outriggers need firm, level ground and load-spreading pads. The 2,990 × 1,130 mm platform and 900 mm extension give a large working area at height.
The 1618 is a good fit for high-bay warehouses, large industrial halls, facade and roof work, and maintenance where the work face is 15.8 m platform height and the site can take the outrigger setup. It is not the right choice for a 1,160 mm aisle, a floor that cannot take the outrigger loads, or a task that needs to travel with the platform raised and the outriggers deployed.
Options and accessories
The 900 mm extension deck and manual outriggers are part of the published configuration. Battery pack wiring, charger voltage and folded width are confirmed with the quotation. Alternative components can be quoted, but the outrigger setup and rated load must be confirmed before the order.
Materials and main components
The 1618 uses the family scissor stack, checkered platform plate, folding guardrail and oil-free link pins, with a heavier chassis and outrigger system. The component list and the outrigger pad plan should be checked against the quotation. The machine is not a substitute for a floor-strength check.
Certifications and standards
The 1618 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, guardrail/gate operation and outrigger deployment/lock. 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 1,420 mm unfolded body, the 1,140 mm folded width, the 4,700 kg weight and the outrigger pad plan against the route and the floor. Confirm the goods-lift capacity and the unloading point. A 16 m machine needs a route and a floor check, not just a door measurement.

About Hontylift
Hontylift builds the 1618 for high-reach work where manual outriggers are part of the safe setup. The 16 m line is produced in Jinan with the same family control and service architecture as the 12 m and 14 m models. Every unit is load tested before packing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1618 vs 1416 — which one?
Choose the 1416 when 13.8 m platform height and 230 kg are enough and the route is 1,400 mm. Choose the 1618 when the work face needs 15.8 m platform height, 320 kg and the site can take the manual outrigger setup.
How do the outriggers work?
Position the machine on firm, level ground, deploy the manual outriggers, fit load-spreading pads and level the chassis before raising the platform. Stow and lock the outriggers before travelling.
Can it drive with outriggers deployed?
No. The outriggers are a setup and stabilising system, not a travel configuration. Retract and stow them before moving the machine.
What is the folded width?
The published figures are 1,420 mm unfolded and 1,140 mm folded. The folded width must be confirmed with the quotation and the outline drawing before transport.
What battery and charger does it use?
The published battery string is 4 × 12 V / 240 Ah with a 24 V / 30 A charger. Final pack wiring and charger voltage are confirmed with the quotation.
What floor load does it need?
The machine weighs about 4,700 kg. Request wheel and outrigger point-load data for a suspended slab, mezzanine or raised floor; 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. Travel with the platform stowed and the outriggers retracted.
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.
