A lifting table stand includes a pair of telescopic columns, a carrier, an actuation module and a passive mechanism. Each telescopic column includes multiple tubes adapted to sheathe with each other and move telescopically relative to each other. The carrier includes a beam straddling the telescopic columns and a pair of support members perpendicularly connected to two ends of the beam. The actuation module includes a receiving member detachably installed to the beam and a driver connected to the receiving member. The passive mechanism includes a transmission shaft and a pair of gear sets installed in the tubes. The transmission shaft passes the driver and is connected to each gear set. Since the receiving member is detachably installed to beam, the actuation module may be changed to different types to control the elevation of the lifting table stand.
