There are numerous choices for access platforms these days. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite use and industry. These self-propelled equipment increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are made of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like way to raise and lower a platform. Commonly used on firm, level surfaces, these lifts offer access to high areas directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their large decks that enable the operator to transport heavy and large supplies and tools. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
There are various sizes of scissor lifts. They differ from 6.57 meters to 18.15 meters in height and .76 meters to 2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts tend to have bigger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The model numbers of the manufacturer can be used to identify the platform height and machine width.
The perfect choice for outdoor use is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are intended to be durable and tough in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with big platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are usually used for construction, maintenance and installation.
The most mobile type of scissor lift is the electric model. They have the advantage of being a lot less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for bigger loads and more workers. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles guarantee excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually utilized in indoor applications connected to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
