When buying platforms these days, you will have lots of alternatives. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite application and industry. These self-propelled equipment increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like way to raise and lower a platform. Generally used on firm, level surfaces, these lifts provide access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their big decks that enable the operator to convey heavy and big tools and materials. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts range in size from 6.57-18.15 meters in height and .76 meters-2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts normally have bigger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers can be used to identify the platform height and width of the machine.
The perfect choice for outdoor application is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are intended to be tough and durable in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with efficient lift speed, positive traction control and big platforms. They are commonly utilized for construction, maintenance and installation.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile models. They have the benefit of being less noisy and can fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more employees and bigger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually used in indoor applications connected to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
