Inside CHENLIFT
Where Every
Platform
Is Born
A guided look at the production processes, quality controls, and specialist workshops that transform raw steel and hydraulic components into the lift platforms operating in over 80 countries.

The Facility
15,000 m² Dedicated
to Getting Lifts Right
CHENLIFT’s manufacturing campus in Suzhou, Jiangsu is designed specifically for the demands of aerial work platform production: high-bay ceilings to accommodate large platform assemblies, reinforced floor slabs for load-testing equipment, and dedicated ventilation zones for painting and surface-treatment operations.
Production flows logically across six specialist zones, each staffed by technicians trained specifically for that process. Material enters as raw steel section and hydraulic components; it exits as a serialised, tested, documented lift platform ready for container loading. Every unit receives a unique serial number traceable to its production batch, component suppliers, and inspection records.

Steel Fabrication
& Cutting
Every CHENLIFT platform begins life as certified Q345B structural steel. Our fabrication zone houses fibre-laser cutting machines capable of handling plate up to 25 mm thick, CNC punch-presses for repeatable hole patterns, and programmable press brakes that form structural channels and brackets to tight tolerances.
Material traceability starts here. Each steel batch is logged against its mill certificate before cutting commences, and cut parts carry laser-marked batch codes that follow them through every subsequent production stage.

CNC Machining Centre
Recommended: 900 x 680 px
CNC Machining
Turning centres produce hydraulic cylinder bores, piston rods, and pivot pins to micron-level tolerances. Vertical machining centres mill load-bearing brackets, gearbox housings, and wheel-drive components with repeatable accuracy. In-process measurement is performed using calibrated digital gauges and coordinate measuring machines.

Welding / Chassis Assembly
Recommended: 900 x 680 px
Welding & Structural Assembly
All CHENLIFT welders hold certifications to relevant welding standards and undergo competency re-assessment annually. Scissor-arm assemblies, mast structures, and chassis frames are welded in dedicated jig-fixtures that enforce dimensional consistency across every production batch.
Weld inspection covers visual examination, dimensional verification against engineering drawings, and periodic non-destructive testing using magnetic particle inspection on load-bearing joints.

Hydraulic / Electrical Assembly
Recommended: 900 x 680 px
Hydraulic & Electrical Assembly
Each hydraulic power unit is built up from verified sub-components: gear pumps, solenoid valve blocks, pressure-relief valves, and hose assemblies. All hose fittings are pressure-tested before the unit is installed on the platform. Control software parameters are loaded and verified against model-specific settings sheets before the platform advances to final assembly.

Painting / Surface Treatment
Recommended: 900 x 680 px
Surface Treatment
& Painting
Structural steel components are shot-blasted before receiving a two-coat paint system: an epoxy zinc phosphate primer followed by a polyurethane topcoat. Total dry film thickness exceeds 120 µm on standard products. The dedicated paint booth operates under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Custom RAL colours are available for OEM or distributor-specified requirements.

Load Testing / QC Inspection
Recommended: 900 x 680 px
Quality Inspection
& Load Testing
No CHENLIFT platform leaves the factory without passing a defined inspection and test protocol: dimensional verification, functional cycling through full range of travel, verification of emergency-stop and overload protection systems, and a rated static load test. Test results are recorded on a serialised inspection checklist archived against the unit’s serial number.
Quality System
Built-in Quality,
Not Bolted-on
Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system reaches into every department, not just the inspection bay.
ISO 9001 : 2015
Our quality management system is independently audited and certified. From supplier qualification to customer complaint resolution, every process is documented, measured, and subject to continuous improvement review cycles.
CE Declaration of Conformity
All standard-range products carry CE marking under the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Technical construction files are maintained and export documentation is prepared as part of every qualifying shipment.
Third-Party Inspection
We work openly with BV, SGS, and customer-appointed inspection agencies. Our production schedule and inspection zone are arranged to support pre-shipment inspection visits and witnessed testing on request.
