When sourcing coffee table lift hardware, the first step is to identify what type of mechanism or frame the project actually requires.
The term “coffee table lift mechanism” can cover different catalog product types. In Xiongfa’s current range, product names include spring, electric, gas rod, gas spring, folding, Z-type and general coffee table lift frames.
For furniture manufacturers, importers, distributors and sourcing teams, identifying the catalog type first can make model comparison and quotation preparation more efficient.
What Is a Coffee Table Lift Mechanism?
“Coffee table lift mechanism” is a broad sourcing term used for hardware associated with movable or liftable coffee table structures.
For B2B sourcing, the important point is to separate the broad market term from the supplier’s actual catalog products.
A supplier may offer several different frame or mechanism types under the same broader product category.
For Xiongfa, the current Table Top Lift Mechanisms range contains nine catalog models with different official product names.
These names should be used as the starting point for model identification.
Main Catalog Types in Xiongfa’s Range
Spring Coffee Table Lift Frame
Model 401 is catalog-listed as:
Spring coffee table lift frame
The word “spring” identifies the catalog type.
It does not, by itself, confirm spring force, load capacity, opening force, closing force or cycle life.
Electric Lifting Coffee Table
Models 405 and 408 are catalog-listed as:
Electric lifting coffee table
The word “electric” identifies the catalog product type.
It does not confirm motor voltage, motor power, lifting speed, control system, noise level or electrical configuration.
Those details should be confirmed separately if they are required for a sourcing project.
Gas Rod and Gas Spring Coffee Table Frames
Model 409 is catalog-listed as:
Gas rod coffee table lift frame
Model 410 is catalog-listed as:
Gas spring coffee table frame
These are different catalog product names.
They should not be assumed to be the same product, compatible or interchangeable without further confirmation.
Folding Table Lift Frame
Model 406 is catalog-listed as:
Folding table lift frame
The product name identifies it as a folding-type catalog model.
It does not confirm folding angle, load capacity, locking method or installation clearance.
Z-Type and General Coffee Table Lift Frames
Model 402 is catalog-listed as:
Z-type table lift frame
Models 404 and 407 are catalog-listed as:
Coffee table lift frame
These names distinguish the products in the current catalog, but they do not provide a complete technical specification.
Verified Xiongfa Table Top Lift Mechanism Examples
The following table uses only currently confirmed Xiongfa catalog information.
| Model | Official Product Name | Material | Surface Treatment | Confirmed Catalog Specification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 401 | Spring coffee table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | Expanded height: 235 mm; Material thickness: 2.0 mm / 4.0 mm |
| 402 | Z-type table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | — |
| 404 | Coffee table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | — |
| 405 | Electric lifting coffee table | Iron | Galvanization / Black | Size: 760x680x430mm |
| 406 | Folding table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | Catalog-listed Size: 450MM / 550mm / 660mm |
| 407 | Coffee table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | — |
| 408 | Electric lifting coffee table | Iron | Galvanization / Black | Size: 400x320xH305mm |
| 409 | Gas rod coffee table lift frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | — |
| 410 | Gas spring coffee table frame | Iron | Galvanization / Black | Expanded height: 235 mm; Material thickness: 2.0 mm / 4.0 mm |
These catalog product names identify different Xiongfa models and hardware types. They should not be treated as a compatibility, interchangeability or performance comparison table.
A useful summary is:
Xiongfa’s current Table Top Lift Mechanisms range includes nine catalog models covering spring, electric, gas rod, gas spring, folding, Z-type and general coffee table lift frame product names. All nine are currently confirmed as iron with galvanization or black surface treatment.
What the Catalog Product Name Tells You — and What It Does Not
A catalog product name can help identify the hardware type, but it should not be treated as a full specification sheet.
For example:
- “Spring” does not confirm spring force.
- “Gas rod” does not confirm gas force.
- “Gas spring” does not confirm gas force or interchangeability with a gas rod model.
- “Electric” does not confirm voltage, power, speed or control method.
- “Folding” does not confirm folding angle or locking method.
- “Z-type” identifies the catalog type but does not provide dimensions or performance data.
This distinction is important in B2B sourcing because similar names or appearances do not prove that two mechanisms fit the same furniture structure.
Which Specifications Are Currently Confirmed?
Only some Xiongfa models currently have additional catalog-listed specifications available.
Models 401 and 410
For Models 401 and 410, the following catalog data is currently confirmed:
- Expanded height: 235 mm
- Material thickness: 2.0 mm / 4.0 mm
These values apply only to the corresponding catalog models.
They should not be treated as standard specifications for the entire Table Top Lift Mechanisms range.
Model 405
Model 405 currently has the catalog-listed size:
760x680x430mm
No additional electrical performance data should be assumed from the word “electric.”
Model 406
Model 406 currently has the catalog-listed size values:
450MM / 550mm / 660mm
These values should be kept exactly as catalog information.
They should not be reinterpreted as width, height, travel or another dimensional field unless that meaning is separately confirmed.
Model 408
Model 408 currently has the catalog-listed size:
400x320xH305mm
Again, this specification applies only to Model 408.
What Should B2B Buyers Confirm Before Requesting a Quote?
A useful inquiry should identify the required mechanism or frame as clearly as possible.
Buyers can provide:
- required mechanism or frame type
- model number, if known
- clear product photos
- drawing, if available
- required project dimensions
- quantity
- required surface treatment, if applicable
- mounting or connection information, if available
If the project has additional technical requirements, buyers can also provide or ask to confirm the following buyer/project requirements:
- required load
- electrical requirements
- spring or gas-force requirements
- lifting travel
- mounting dimensions
- installation clearance
These are buyer or project requirements to provide or confirm. They should not be treated as fixed specifications already established for every Xiongfa model.
If the original model is unknown, multiple photos and a dimensional drawing can help narrow down the correct hardware type.
Buyers can review the Xiongfa Table Top Lift Mechanisms category before sending the final sourcing requirements.
Common Coffee Table Lift Mechanism Sourcing Mistakes
1. Searching Only for “Coffee Table Lift Mechanism”
This term is broad.
A buyer should first identify whether the project requires a spring, electric, gas rod, gas spring, folding, Z-type or another catalog-listed frame type.
2. Assuming Similar Product Names Mean the Same Mechanism
Model 409 is catalog-listed as a gas rod coffee table lift frame, while Model 410 is catalog-listed as a gas spring coffee table frame.
The two should not be assumed to be the same product, compatible or interchangeable.
3. Treating “Electric” as a Complete Electrical Specification
Models 405 and 408 are catalog-listed as electric lifting coffee tables.
That does not confirm voltage, power, speed, control system or other electrical parameters.
4. Extending One Model’s Dimensions to the Whole Range
Only some models currently have confirmed catalog dimensions.
A specification listed for Model 401, 405, 406, 408 or 410 should not be copied to another model without confirmation.
5. Assuming Appearance Proves Compatibility
Two lift frames may look similar while using different dimensions, mounting arrangements or mechanism types.
Appearance alone is not enough to confirm interchangeability.
6. Assuming “Spring” or “Gas Spring” Confirms Performance
A product name does not confirm load capacity, spring force, gas force, operating force or durability.
Those requirements should be confirmed separately.
7. Sending an Inquiry Without Project Information
A quotation request is easier to evaluate when it includes the required product type, quantity, photos, drawing and relevant dimensions.
Once the required mechanism type and project information are clear, buyers can send the details through the Request a Quote page.
Catalog Types at a Glance
The table below summarizes the mechanism type names currently in the range, the models in each group, and what each name does and does not confirm.
| Mechanism type | Models | What the name tells you | Confirm before quoting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring lift frame | Model 401 | “Spring” identifies the catalog type only | Spring force, load capacity, opening / closing force, cycle life |
| Z-type lift frame | Model 402 | Distinguishes the model in the catalog; not a complete technical specification | Dimensions, mounting and project fit |
| General lift frame | Model 404, 407 | General catalog name; not a complete technical specification | Dimensions, mounting and project fit |
| Gas rod lift frame | Model 409 | Separate catalog name from the gas spring frame; not interchangeable by assumption | Compatibility with the intended table structure |
| Gas spring lift frame | Model 410 | Separate catalog name from the gas rod frame; expansion height 235 mm and 2.0 / 4.0 mm material thickness are catalog-confirmed | Force, stroke and cycle life |
| Electric lifting frame | Model 405, 408 | “Electric” identifies the catalog product type only | Motor voltage, power, lifting speed, control system, noise level, electrical configuration |
| Folding lift frame | Model 406 | Identifies a folding-type catalog model | Folding angle, load capacity, locking method, installation clearance |
