Kinds of Man Lifts

Designed specially to vertically raise employees to higher places, scissor lifts are common in the construction business to help move or raise personnel form one location to another. Man lifts are power-driven and provide platforms or steps and special handholds to provide safe transport. The type of construction work being carried out would decide precisely which kind of man lift will be used in a project.



Electrically Insulated Man Lifts

Based on Man and Material Lift Engineering, the man lift most preferred for working near electrocution hazards are electrically insulated man lifts. The electrically insulated man lifts offer protection to personnel against accidental electrocution. These kind of machines follow the American National Standards Institute A92.2 Category C, 46kV Rated. These electrically insulated man lifts provide fiberglass insulated booms, are operated on nonconductive hydraulic hoses which serve to reduce ground error and fiber optic control cables.



Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift is a unique machine capable of transporting workers vertically to hard-to-reach places. The scissor lift derived its name due to the scissor type of design of the folding supports that could raise and lower the platform. To be able to raise the lift, each one of the folding supports is opened in order to extend the platform to higher heights.



Scissor lifts can be either hydraulically or manually lifted. Hydraulic systems enable the scissor lifts to descend with only a release of hydraulic pressure, rather than depending on power. Because the potential of mechanical malfunctions preventing the platform from suddenly descending to the ground is eliminated, at the end of the day, hydraulic systems make safer scissor lifts.



Capacity

Man lifts are designed in a huge range of weight capacities. Certain man lifts have the capability to only hold numerous individuals while others have the ability to hold one individual. Scissor lifts and platform lifts are more beneficial for transporting a lot of individuals, as boom lifts have less space located in their bucket.
