There are numerous options for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for practically any jobsite use and industry. These self-propelled machines boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes that work in a scissor-like way to lower and raise a platform. Mostly utilized on surfaces that are firm and level, these lifts offer access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their big decks that permit the operator to transport large and heavy materials and tools. A platform deck extension rolls or slides out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts range in size from .76 meters-2.29 meters in width and 6.57-18.15 meters in height. Wider lifts tend to have larger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers could be used to identify the height of the platform and width of the machine.
The best choice for outdoor application is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are designed to be tough and durable in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with efficient lift speed, positive traction control and big platforms. They are frequently used for construction, maintenance and installation.
The most mobile kind of scissor lift is the electric model. They have the advantage of being less noisy and can fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more personnel and bigger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires ensure superb maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally utilized in indoor applications connected to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
