Who uses the BS 150 and for what
The Bernardo BS 150 is a manual hydraulic scissor lift table, sized for ergonomic positioning of 150 kg loads in workshops and laboratories. Operation is entirely manual: a hydraulic foot pump raises the platform, a discharge valve allows for controlled descent. No electric motor, no power supply required. Key design feature: the 220-720 mm lifting height covers most standard positioning applications (from floor to workbench, from floor to truck bed). Polyurethane wheels allow the loaded table to be moved between stations, and the parking brake locks the table during work. Among Krollit's customers, the Bernardo BS 150 is chosen by mechanical workshops for ergonomic positioning of parts on workbenches, educational laboratories for technical schools, logistics warehouses for handling medium-heavy packages, and advanced hobbyists with repetitive positioning needs.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo lifting 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 (stationary industrial/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 BS 150 model belongs to the BS family (manual hydraulic). For capacities from 150 kg (BS 150) to 1,000 kg (BS 1,000): choose based on the maximum weight of typical loads. BS 150 for light hobby use (heavy drawers, containers); BS 350 for standard workshop use; BS 500 for heavy workbenches; BS 1,000 for compact industrial machinery. For continuous intensive use, consider the ES semi-electric version of the same capacity (reduces the fatigue of manual pumping).
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days to the South). The BS 150 table, weighing 46 kg, can be easily handled by one person for unloading. The integrated wheels (for mobile models) facilitate movement after unloading. Hydraulic oil, valves, manual pumps, electrical system spare parts (for ES/SSHT/FSHT models), and original Bernardo accessories are available from stock with 3-5 business day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
Who is the BS 150 for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Advanced hobbyist / small workshop |
Recommended |
Economical manual table for occasional use. 150 kg capacity sufficient for most hobby applications. |
| Mechanical workshop with occasional use |
Recommended |
For non-daily use (5-20 lifts per day), the manual version is correctly sized: no electrical power required, significantly lower cost than the semi-electric version. |
| Warehouse with repetitive cycles |
Adequate |
For intensive use with over 50 lifts per day, consider the ES semi-electric version to reduce the fatigue of manual pumping. |
Not suitable for: continuous intensive use with over 50 lifts per day (the ES semi-electric version reduces the fatigue of manual pumping); applications with load capacity over 150 kg (upgrade to BS 1,000, ES 750 models or the industrial SSHT family); applications requiring a lifting height over 720 mm (the ES D family has an extended height up to ~1,600 mm); stationary fixed installations (the industrial SSHT family is correctly sized).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much force is needed for manual pumping?
The hydraulic foot pump is designed to reduce effort: typically 15-25 kg of force per pump stroke. For maximum nominal capacity (with nominal load on the platform), approximately 30-50 pump strokes are needed to reach maximum height.
For occasional use, the cumulative effort is manageable. For intensive daily use (over 50 lifts per day), the cumulative effort becomes significant: consider the ES semi-electric version of the same capacity. The hydraulic system is designed for durability: in daily use, the pump typically lasts 5-10 years before requiring maintenance.
Which flooring surfaces are compatible?
For mobile models (BS, ES, ES D, HK): smooth industrial floors (polished 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 load: 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 (unfinished 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 manual for exact specifications). Signs indicating the need for replacement: progressive slowing of lifting, vibrations during pumping (for manual models), slow or irregular lowering. Original Bernardo hydraulic oil or commercial equivalents (Shell Tellus, Mobil DTE) are available from standard industrial suppliers.
What is the average lifespan of the BS 150 table?
For standard professional daily 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 corrosion and standard workshop wear.
Consumable components that may require replacement during their useful life include: hydraulic pump (for manual models), valves, seals, wheels, and 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 business 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 weather, no: prolonged humidity can cause corrosion of the painted steel frame and degradation of the hydraulic system.
For outdoor applications, covering/sheltering the table after use is recommended, along with more frequent maintenance of the hydraulic system (checking for leaks, lubricating joints), and periodic inspection of the paintwork. For exclusive outdoor use, consider models with reinforced industrial paint or specific anti-corrosion protection.
