There are various choices for access platforms nowadays. There is a lift designed for practically any industry and jobsite use. These self-propelled machinery 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. Generally utilized on level, firm surfaces, these lifts provide access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their large decks that allow the operator to convey heavy and large supplies and tools. A platform deck extension rolls or slides 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 tend to have larger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The model numbers of the manufacturer could be used to identify the platform height and machine width.
The best choice for outdoor application is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are designed to be durable and tough in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with positive traction control, large platforms and efficient lift speed. They are frequently utilized for construction, maintenance and installation.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile models. They have the advantage of being less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more workers and bigger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires ensure superb maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually used in indoor applications connected to ventilation, electrical works and air conditioning.
