There are many alternatives for access platforms nowadays. There is a lift designed for virtually any industry and jobsite use. These self-propelled machines boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
To raise and lower a platform, scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes that work like scissors. Generally utilized on firm, level surfaces, these lifts provide access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their large decks and their heavy lifting capacities which allow the operator to transport heavy and big materials and tools. A platform deck extension rolls or slides out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts vary in size from .76 meters-2.29 meters in width and 6.57-18.15 meters in height. Wider lifts tend to have bigger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The model numbers of the maker could be used to identify the platform height and machine width.
For outdoor use, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the ideal choice. They are meant 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 frequently utilized for construction, maintenance and installation.

They allow maximum workspace for more employees and bigger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires guarantee superb maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are often utilized in indoor applications related to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
