How to Charge a Scissor Lift

A lot of individuals value the ease of utilizing a scissor lift. The ease of working and the safety offered from the lift's basket offer a lot more piece of mind than trying to complete a similar task utilizing the step of a ladder. The safety risks involved with this particular machinery make it the right choice for performing jobs from heights.



Nearly all scissor lifts are powered electrically by batteries that have been mounted directly onto the equipment. These batteries will have to be charged following a long shift or after sitting for extended periods without use. It is a simple task to charge the batteries. This could be done without any specialized equipment or tools and needs no heavy labor.



The machine has to be positioned next to an electrical output so as to prepare the scissor lift for charging. This charging place should also be in a well-ventilated place. After that, in order to prevent another operator from driving away with the lift plugged in, press the emergency shut-off switch. The emergency shut off switch is the big red button situated near the charger or the control box, in the lift basket. Find the battery charger on the right side of the base of the lift. Normally, units that are older would have the charger mounted on the back of the lift.



The AC extension cord should next be plugged into the charger. Be certain to charge in a well ventilated area and plug the cord into an electrical outlet. So as to avoid accidental damage from being run over, the length of the electrical cord on the battery charger is intentionally short. This is because if any excess length were to drop out of the battery charger storage place while in use, extreme danger could likely occur.
