Scissor Lifts
In order to raise and lower a platform, scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes that work like scissors. Commonly utilized 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 permit the operator to transport big and heavy tools and materials. A platform deck extension rolls or slides out to provide a spacious work area.
There are various sizes of scissor lifts. They vary from 6.57 meters to 18.15 meters in height and .76 meters to 2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts usually have larger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The manufacturer's model numbers can be utilized to identify the height of the platform and machine width.
