Get in Touch →Our People
More Than a
Manufacturer
CHENLIFT is a people-driven organisation. The quality of our lift platforms — consistent, verifiable, certifiable — flows directly from the commitment of the people who design each component, weld each joint, programme each control system, and answer every customer enquiry.
Our workforce spans five primary functions: Research & Development, Manufacturing Operations, Quality Assurance, International Sales & Marketing, and After-Sales Service. Each department operates with defined roles and documented processes, but the culture that connects them is one of shared ownership.
New production staff undergo structured on-the-job training programmes before working independently on any safety-critical assembly task. Technical staff receive annual training on updated standards and evolving technologies.
Founder
The Vision Behind
CHENLIFT
CHENLIFT was founded with a clear mission: to deliver safe, reliable lifting solutions that meet international standards without the heavy price tag.
With over two decades of hands‑on experience in the aerial work platform industry, Aijun LIU founded CHENLIFT with a commitment to engineering integrity and customer‑focused innovation. Starting from a small workshop, he has grown the company into a respected brand exporting to more than 80 countries. He remains directly involved in new product strategy and quality oversight, ensuring every lift platform that leaves the factory reflects the values he established from day one: safety, durability, and honest value.
Our Departments
Five Teams,
One Standard
Each department plays a distinct role in delivering a CHENLIFT platform that performs safely and reliably across its operational life.
Research & Development
CHENLIFT’s R&D department is the origin of every product in the catalogue. The team combines mechanical design, hydraulic engineering, and electrical systems expertise to develop platforms that are safe, practical, and cost-effective to manufacture. All new designs are validated through finite element analysis and physical prototype testing before production tooling is committed.
The R&D team also monitors updates to EN 280, ISO 16368, and the EU Machinery Directive to ensure new and existing products remain certifiable. When customers request custom specifications, the R&D team produces formal engineering assessments and modified design packs.
Quality Assurance
The Quality Assurance department operates independently from production management, reporting directly to senior leadership. QA inspectors are stationed at each of the six production zones, carrying out in-process checks at defined hold points throughout every platform’s build.
The QA team is also responsible for internal audits of the quality management system, supplier qualification assessments, customer complaint investigation, and corrective action management. When BV, SGS, or customer-appointed surveyors visit for pre-shipment inspection, the QA team coordinates all arrangements and provides access to batch records and test certificates.
International Sales & Marketing
CHENLIFT’s international sales team handles enquiries and orders from customers across Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa. The team is structured around regional desks, with each sales executive focused on a defined geographic portfolio.
Technical sales support is provided by sales engineers who can assist with product selection, specification clarification, and custom project scoping. All commercial documentation — pro-forma invoices, export documentation, CE certificates, and user manuals — is prepared and managed within the department.
After-Sales Service
CHENLIFT’s after-sales commitment extends well beyond the warranty period. The team maintains a stocked spare-parts inventory covering all current and recent-legacy platform models, enabling fast despatch of replacement components worldwide. For complex warranty or technical issues that cannot be resolved remotely, CHENLIFT can arrange on-site technical assistance.
The team also maintains the library of multilingual user manuals, maintenance guides, and spare-parts diagrams available to customers on request. Standard product warranty is 12 months from date of shipment; extended coverage available on request.
Working at CHENLIFT
A Culture Built on
Craft and Accountability
At CHENLIFT, culture is what happens when our values meet a real production decision — and the people who make those decisions define what kind of company we are.
Quality Is Personal
Every technician and engineer at CHENLIFT understands that a substandard weld or an improperly torqued fitting does not disappear into a finished product. We instil this sense of personal accountability from day one of onboarding.
Grow With the Company
CHENLIFT has promoted from within throughout its history. Production technicians have developed into team leaders and zone supervisors. We invest in structured development pathways, external training sponsorship, and skills certification.
Direct Communication
We do not manage by hierarchy for its own sake. Problems are raised directly and addressed directly. Senior engineers are accessible to production staff. Customer feedback reaches the R&D team without being filtered.
Continuous Improvement
Regular internal audits, root-cause analysis on non-conformances, and structured management review meetings keep the entire organisation focused on doing things better — not just the way they have always been done.
