There are numerous alternatives for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite application and business. These self-propelled machines boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
In order to lower and raise a platform, scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes that work like scissors. Commonly utilized on surfaces that are level and firm, these lifts provide access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their big decks and their heavy lifting capacities that enable the operator to convey huge and heavy tools and materials. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts range in size from .76 meters-2.29 meters in width and 6.57-18.15 meters in height. Wider lifts tend to have larger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers could be used to identify the machine width and height of the platform.
The perfect choice for outdoor use is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are meant to be durable and tough in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with efficient lift speed, positive traction control and large platforms. They are frequently used for maintenance, installation and construction.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile models. They have the benefit of being less noisy and can fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more employees and bigger loads. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are often utilized in indoor applications connected to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
