When sourcing bed lift hardware, the first step is to identify what type of mechanism the project actually requires.
A bed lift mechanism, a standalone gas spring and a complete bed structure should not automatically be treated as the same product.
For furniture manufacturers, importers, distributors and sourcing teams, model identification is easier when the inquiry includes the required mechanism type, dimensions, drawing, mounting information and quantity.
Xiongfa’s current Bed Lift Mechanisms catalog also provides model-specific data that can help buyers compare the available catalog references before requesting a quotation.
What Is a Bed Lift Mechanism?
In B2B sourcing, a bed lift mechanism refers to the mechanism hardware used within a lifting bed or tatami structure.
The exact mechanism required depends on the furniture project and the selected catalog model.
For sourcing purposes, the important point is to use the supplier’s actual model data rather than assume that all products described as “bed lift,” “gas lift” or similar market terms are the same.
Xiongfa currently provides verified catalog information for Models 501–507, while Model 508 is separately confirmed as a 40cm lifter.
Bed Lift Mechanism vs. Gas Spring
A bed lift mechanism and a standalone gas spring should not automatically be treated as the same purchasing item.
Xiongfa maintains Bed Lift Mechanisms and Gas Springs as separate product categories.
The Bed Lift Mechanisms catalog includes mechanism model data. For Models 501–507, the catalog also includes a field called Gas Spring Force.
That field does not mean the mechanism category should be treated as the same product as a standalone gas spring.
If a buyer is sourcing bed lift mechanism hardware, the Bed Lift Mechanisms category is the relevant starting point.
If the buyer is sourcing a separate gas spring or gas strut and needs information such as its individual force, length or stroke, the Gas Springs category should be checked separately.
Verified Xiongfa Product Dimensions: Models 501–507
Xiongfa’s catalog provides a Product Dimensions table for Models 501–507.
The following values are kept in the same catalog fields and format.
| Model | Specification | Gas Spring Force | A | B | C | D | E | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 501 | 60 cm | 22 KG | 600 | 110 | 300 | 450 | 330 | Tatami and beds up to 1 m |
| 502 | 75 cm | 40 KG | 750 | 110 | 300 | 450 | 350 | Tatami and beds over 1 m |
| 503 | 90 cm | 60 KG | 900 | 170 | 460 | 630 | 430 | 1 m tatami and beds |
| 504 | 100 cm | 60 KG | 1000 | 170 | 460 | 630 | 410 | 1.2–1.8 m tatami and beds |
| 505 | 110 cm | 90 KG | 1100 | 170 | 460 | 630 | 550 | 1.5–1.8 m tatami and beds |
| 506 | 120 cm | 90 KG | 1200 | 170 | 460 | 630 | 550 | 1.8 m tatami beds (fully open) |
| 507 | 150 cm | 90 KG | 1500 | 170 | 460 | 630 | 550 | 2 m tatami and beds (fully open) |
These are model-specific catalog values.
They should not be treated as a universal compatibility, interchangeability or load-performance guarantee.
The Application column should be read as catalog-listed application guidance for the corresponding model, not as a guarantee that the mechanism will fit every bed with a similar nominal size.
How to Read Specification, Gas Spring Force and A–E Dimensions
The Product Dimensions table contains several different types of information.
Specification
The Specification column provides the catalog size reference for each model:
- Model 501 — 60 cm
- Model 502 — 75 cm
- Model 503 — 90 cm
- Model 504 — 100 cm
- Model 505 — 110 cm
- Model 506 — 120 cm
- Model 507 — 150 cm
These values help distinguish catalog models.
They should not be treated as a complete installation specification by themselves.
Gas Spring Force
The catalog lists:
- 501 — 22 KG
- 502 — 40 KG
- 503 — 60 KG
- 504 — 60 KG
- 505 — 90 KG
- 506 — 90 KG
- 507 — 90 KG
These values should be kept as the catalog’s Gas Spring Force field.
They should not be automatically converted into Newton values, and they should not be described as the load capacity of the entire mechanism.
A–E Dimensions
The catalog drawing identifies five dimension references:
A, B, C, D and E
Each model has its own corresponding values in the table.
These fields help buyers compare the catalog drawing with their own project requirements.
Because the current catalog table presents them as A–E references, buyers should avoid assigning additional meanings or units to those fields unless separately confirmed.
Application
The Application column provides model-specific catalog guidance for tatami and bed applications.
For example, Models 504–507 include different bed-size references in the catalog.
These statements are useful for initial model screening, but final selection should still be checked against the project drawing, mounting arrangement and other relevant requirements.
Model 501: Confirmed Product Information
Model 501 is separately confirmed as:
Product Name: Bed lift mechanism
Confirmed catalog data includes:
- Size: 60 cm
- Material: Iron
- Surface Treatment: Galvanization / Black
- Material Thickness: 2.5 / 3.0MM cold rolled steel
Its Product Dimensions row also lists:
- Gas Spring Force: 22 KG
- A: 600
- B: 110
- C: 300
- D: 450
- E: 330
- Application: Tatami and beds up to 1 m
These values identify Model 501.
They do not prove that Model 501 is interchangeable with another bed lift mechanism or that it will fit every project described by a similar bed size.
Model 508 as a Separate 40cm Lifter Example
Model 508 is separately confirmed as:
Product Name: 40cm lifter
Confirmed information includes:
- Size: 40 cm
- Material: Iron
- Surface Treatment: Galvanization / Black
- Material Thickness: 2.0 / 3.5MM cold rolled steel
Model 508 is confirmed separately and is not part of the Models 501–507 Product Dimensions table.
The differences between Model 501 and Model 508 can help buyers identify two distinct catalog products, but the size and material-thickness differences do not prove higher load capacity, greater strength or compatibility with a particular bed frame.
What Should B2B Buyers Confirm Before Requesting a Quote?
A useful bed lift mechanism inquiry should include as much project information as possible.
Buyers can provide:
- required mechanism type
- model number, if known
- clear product photos
- technical drawing, if available
- required project dimensions
- bed-frame mounting information
- quantity
- required surface treatment, if applicable
- existing sample information, if replacing a current mechanism
If the project also has technical requirements such as required load, opening angle, gas spring requirement, installation clearance or mounting dimensions, those should be supplied as buyer/project requirements to confirm.
They should not be assumed to be fixed specifications for every Xiongfa Bed Lift Mechanism model.
If the existing model is unknown, multiple photos together with a drawing or physical sample can make product identification more reliable.
Buyers can first review the Xiongfa Bed Lift Mechanisms category and then send the relevant details through the Request a Quote page.
What to Send Before Sourcing a Bed Lift Mechanism
For quotation or product matching, buyers should provide the following project information where available:
- Opening direction: side lift or end lift
- Bed-frame dimensions
- Moving platform or bed-board dimensions
- Approximate moving weight
- Whether the mattress remains on the platform during opening
- Photos of the existing mechanism for replacement projects
- Mounting-point information or a frame drawing, if available
- Required quantity
These are details for the buyer to send and for the supplier to confirm against the project. They are not published load-capacity, gas-spring-force, opening-angle, stroke, bed-width or compatibility guarantees for Xiongfa’s catalog models.
A bed lift mechanism should not be selected by bracket length alone. Opening direction, bed-frame geometry, moving platform and moving weight should be checked together before confirming a suitable mechanism.
Review the Bed Lift Mechanisms category, then send the project details through Request a Quote.
Common Bed Lift Mechanism Sourcing Mistakes
1. Searching Only for “Bed Lift”
“Bed lift” is a broad phrase.
A buyer should determine whether the required item is a mechanism assembly, a standalone gas spring or another furniture hardware component.
2. Confusing a Bed Lift Mechanism With a Standalone Gas Spring
The mechanism and the gas spring should not automatically be treated as the same purchasing item.
Xiongfa maintains them as separate product categories.
3. Assuming 60 cm, 75 cm or 150 cm Directly Defines Bed Compatibility
The Specification values help identify catalog models.
They do not by themselves confirm final fit with a specific furniture design.
4. Treating Gas Spring Force as Mechanism Load Capacity
The catalog uses the field name Gas Spring Force.
A value such as 22 KG, 60 KG or 90 KG should not automatically be described as the total load capacity of the mechanism or bed.
5. Treating Material Thickness as Proof of Performance
Model 501 and Model 508 have different catalog-listed material thickness values.
Thickness alone does not confirm which model is stronger, more durable or suitable for a higher load.
6. Assuming Similar-Looking Mechanisms Are Interchangeable
Appearance alone is not enough to confirm fit.
Model data, project dimensions and mounting information should be checked before selection.
7. Treating “Hydraulic”, “Gas Lift” and “Bed Lift Mechanism” as Identical Terms
These terms may be used inconsistently in the market.
Buyers should identify the actual component or mechanism required rather than assume the terms describe the same Xiongfa product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bed lift mechanism?
A bed lift mechanism is furniture hardware used as part of a lifting bed or tatami structure. For sourcing, buyers should identify the required model and project dimensions rather than rely only on the broad term “bed lift.”
How is a bed lift mechanism different from a standalone gas spring?
They are different purchasing categories. Xiongfa separates Bed Lift Mechanisms from Gas Springs. The mechanism catalog may include a Gas Spring Force field, but that does not make the mechanism itself the same product as a standalone gas spring.
What catalog data is confirmed for Models 501–507?
Xiongfa’s Product Dimensions table lists Model, Specification, Gas Spring Force, A, B, C, D, E and Application for Models 501–507.
What does the Gas Spring Force field mean in Xiongfa’s catalog?
It is the field name used in the catalog for Models 501–507, with values shown in KG. These values should not automatically be converted to Newtons or treated as the total load capacity of the bed lift mechanism.
What is confirmed for Model 508?
Model 508 is confirmed as a 40cm lifter with 40 cm size, iron material, galvanization or black surface treatment and 2.0 / 3.5MM cold rolled steel material thickness.
Are bed lift mechanisms universal or interchangeable?
They should not be assumed to be universal or interchangeable. Catalog model, dimensions, mounting information and project requirements should be checked before selection.
What should a buyer send when requesting a quote?
Provide the required mechanism type, model if known, product photos or drawings, quantity, relevant project dimensions, bed-frame mounting information and any other project requirements that need confirmation.
