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