There are numerous choices for access platforms these days. There is a lift designed for virtually any business and jobsite use. These self-propelled equipment boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like manner to lower and raise a platform. Generally used on firm, level surfaces, these lifts offer access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their large decks and their heavy lifting capacities that enable the operator to convey big and heavy materials and tools. A platform deck extension slides or rolls 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 bigger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers could be used to identify the platform height and width of the machine.
For outdoor use, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the ideal option. They are meant to be tough and durable in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with big platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are usually utilized for construction, maintenance and installation.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile models. They have the benefit of being less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for larger loads and more workers. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires guarantee excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally used in indoor applications connected to ventilation, electrical works and air conditioning.
