There are many options for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for practically any business and jobsite application. These self-propelled machines boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like way to lower and raise a platform. Generally utilized on firm, level surfaces, these lifts provide access to high areas directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their big decks and their heavy lifting capacities that permit the operator to transport heavy and huge materials and tools. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts vary in size from 6.57-18.15 meters in height and .76 meters-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 maker can be used to identify the height of the platform and machine width.
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 large platforms. They are frequently utilized for maintenance, installation and construction.
The most mobile type of scissor lift is the electric model. They have the benefit of being much 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 ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually utilized in indoor applications connected to ventilation, electrical works and air conditioning.
