What Is A Scissor Lift?
A scissor lift is an aerial platform that is the same size as its base machine. It is versatile, agile and compact in proportions, therefore, making it suitable for indoor use as well as outdoors.
They are perfect for lifting your team with the necessary equipment, and their small size and low noise levels mean they can be used in a working interior, a theatre or a busy suburb. They are not suitable for rough terrain.
What Is The Scissor Lift Best Used For?
They might be compact in relation to construction equipment, but their platform is suitably sized for an array of jobs requiring team members and equipment elevated simultaneously. The stability and platform area space allows for work to happen on the platform floor as well.
They do not, however, move in multiple directions ‒ only up and down. This requires floor space directly below the area you want to work on.
Scissor lifts come in different versions, which will extend from 3 metres to 18 metres. Other types of lifts can have a greater extension ability.
The lower extension, relatively speaking, means that your sturdy scissor lift work platform has a greater load capacity of approximately 450 kgs. Rough terrain versions can carry up to fifty tonnes.
