There are various options for access platforms nowadays. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite application and industry. These self-propelled equipment boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes that work in a scissor-like manner to raise and lower a platform. Commonly utilized on surfaces that are level and firm, these lifts offer access to high areas directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their big decks that allow the operator to convey large and heavy tools and materials. 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 normally have bigger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The model numbers of the manufacturer could be utilized to identify the width of the machine and height of the platform.
For outdoor application, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the best choice. They are meant to be tough and durable in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with positive traction control, big platforms and efficient lift speed. They are commonly used for maintenance, installation and construction.
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 bigger loads and more employees. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles ensure superb maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually utilized in indoor applications connected to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
