The Manufacturing Advantage —
Six Reasons to Choose Chenlift
Every claim is backed by documentation, certifications, and two decades of customer relationships across 80+ countries.
Factory Direct — No Middleman Markup
Chenlift is a manufacturer, not a trading company. When you buy from us, you deal directly with the factory that builds your machine — no agent fees, no information lost in translation. 90% of all components are designed and manufactured in our 15,000 ㎡ Suzhou facility, 25 minutes from Shanghai port.
→ 15,000 ㎡ · Suzhou, Jiangsu · 25 min from Shanghai
Full CE Certification — Zero Customs Complications
Chenlift holds CE certification under EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Every product shipped to European customers arrives with full CE documentation — Declaration of Conformity, technical file reference, and model-specific certificates. As an IPAF member, our products are recognised within the international powered access compliance framework.
→ CE · IPAF Member · ISO 9001:2015
Oil-Free Electric Innovation — MD Series
The MD Series is Chenlift’s proprietary fully electric, oil-free mast lift — no hydraulic oil, zero contamination risk, 30% energy savings, and 95% transmission efficiency. CE-certified for OCS-adjacent rail maintenance work and approved for cleanroom, food production, and pharmaceutical environments where hydraulic oil is prohibited.
→ 0 L Hydraulic Oil · 95% Efficiency · ≤65 dB
Full OEM & Customisation Capability
Custom dimensions, power systems (AC, DC battery, oil-free electric), platform configurations, outrigger geometry, colour schemes, and branding. Our engineering team produces drawings and physical samples before production begins. OEM fleet programmes covering 10+ units receive dedicated project management and volume pricing.
→ Engineering drawings + sample before production
30-Day Lead Time · 24-Hour Response
Standard orders ship within 30 calendar days. Custom or large-volume orders are quoted at 45–60 days — confirmed in writing. Our international sales team responds within 24 hours. Spare parts are processed and dispatched by express courier within 7 working days. These are operational commitments, not aspirational targets.
→ 30-day standard · 7-day spares express · 24h sales
100% Pre-Shipment Inspection — Every Unit
Every machine undergoes a complete pre-shipment function test — not a sample check, every unit. Load testing, platform extension, emergency lowering, control system checks. For customers requiring third-party verification, we coordinate inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV Rheinland — reports included in the delivery documentation package.
