Who uses the ES 300 D and for what
The Bernardo ES 300 D is a semi-electric double platform lift table for extended lifting height, designed for loads up to 300 kg. The double scissor configuration allows for a lifting height of 500-1618 mm (significantly higher than the single platform configuration with the same capacity). Difference from the standard ES version: the D version has a max height of ~1,600 mm compared to ~970 mm for the standard version. This is a crucial feature for applications that require ergonomic positioning at a high working height (e.g., working on a piece positioned at 1,500 mm height while standing, positioning for upper component inspection, loading/unloading onto low mezzanines). Among Krollit's customers, the Bernardo ES 300 D is chosen by workshops with variable working height requirements, multi-level assembly laboratories, and factories with work lines at different heights.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo lift table range is organized into 5 sub-families by application: BS (manual hydraulic, capacities 150-1,000 kg, for standard hobby/light professional use); ES (semi-electric single platform, capacities 300-750 kg, for standard intensive use); ES D (semi-electric double platform for extended height, capacities 300-750 kg); SSHT/FSHT (industrial stationary/U-shaped, capacities 1,000-2,000 kg, for fixed use in factories); HK (tilting, capacities 400-800 kg, for handling + emptying bulk materials).
The ES 300 D model is in the ES D family (semi-electric double platform for extended height). Key difference from the standard ES version: max height ~1,600 mm vs ~970 mm. Same capacity as the standard ES version, but with slightly larger machine dimensions and greater weight. For applications with max height under 1,000 mm, the standard ES version is more economical and more compact. For max height above 1,600 mm or capacity over 750 kg, move up to the industrial SSHT/FSHT family.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). The ES 300 D table, weighing 150 kg, is handled by two people with care for unloading. The integrated wheels (for mobile models) facilitate movement after unloading. Hydraulic oil, valves, manual pumps, spare parts for the electrical system (for ES/SSHT/FSHT models) and original Bernardo accessories are available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping. Customer support in Italian is available.
Who the ES 300 D is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Workshop with high working height |
Recommended |
Double platform configuration for max height ~1,600 mm: designed for positioning pieces at a height above standard workbench. |
| Multi-level assembly line |
Recommended |
For applications where the piece is worked at different heights during the cycle. Stability ensured even at full extension. |
| Workshop with standard height |
Not recommended |
For max height under 1,000 mm, the standard ES version is more economical and more compact. |
Not recommended for: applications with lifting height below 1,000 mm (the standard ES version is more economical and compact); applications with capacity over 300 kg (the industrial SSHT family with 2,000 kg capacity is correctly sized); mobile applications with frequent movement (the larger dimensions and greater weight of the double platform make movement less agile than the single version).

Frequently asked questions
Why is the lowering manual and not motorized?
The 'semi-electric' system is a choice for safety and cost: lifting requires power (achieved through an electric motor), while lowering is gravity-controlled (a manual hydraulic valve is sufficient to regulate the speed). Motorized lowering adds cost and complexity without significant practical advantages.
Feature of manually controlled lowering: the operator can stop the lowering at any intermediate position by releasing the valve, a useful feature for precise positioning of the table at a specific height. Motorized lowering would require a second motor (dedicated for lowering) or a more complex system. For applications with automatic controlled lowering, consider industrial electro-hydraulic lift tables.
What floor surfaces are compatible?
For mobile models (BS, ES, ES D, HK): smooth industrial floors (smoothed concrete, industrial tiles, epoxy resins). On rough floors, the wheels may wear out more quickly.
The maximum load capacity of the table applies to vertical loads: for movement on slopes (even slight ones like 2-3%), stability requires attention, especially with heavy loads near the maximum capacity. For very rough floors (raw concrete, slabs with pronounced joints), the wheels may wear out more quickly: original Bernardo spare parts are available.
Does the hydraulic oil need to be replaced periodically?
Yes. For daily professional use, it is recommended to change the hydraulic oil every 2-3 years or every 1,000 operating hours. For occasional hobby use, replacement can be every 5-7 years.
Recommended hydraulic oil: ISO VG 32 or ISO VG 46 (check the manual for exact specifications). Signs indicating the need for replacement: progressive slowing of lifting, vibrations during the pumping phase (for manual models), slow or erratic lowering. Original Bernardo hydraulic oil or commercial equivalents (Shell Tellus, Mobil DTE) available from standard industrial suppliers.
What is the average lifespan of the ES 300 D table?
For standard daily professional use, the average lifespan is 10-15 years with regular maintenance. For occasional hobby use, the lifespan can extend to 20+ years. The powder-coated steel structure is designed to resist standard workshop corrosion and wear.
Consumable components that may require replacement during their useful life: hydraulic pump (for manual models), valves, seals, wheels, joint bearings. For semi-electric/electric models, add: motor (typical lifespan 8-12 years with intensive use), switches, wiring. All original Bernardo spare parts are available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping.
Can I also use the table outdoors?
For occasional outdoor use (loading/unloading trucks, occasional movement between warehouse and yard) yes. For continuous exposure to the elements, no: prolonged humidity can cause corrosion of the painted steel frame and degradation of the hydraulic system.
For outdoor applications, it is recommended to cover/shelter the table after use, more frequent maintenance of the hydraulic system (check for leaks, lubrication of joints), periodic inspection of the paintwork. For exclusive outdoor use, consider models with reinforced industrial paint or specific anti-rust protection.
