Skyjack Safety

A scissor lift is a specialized piece of industrial equipment that is utilized for "positioning personnel, their equipment and their tools," according to Skyjack. Anyone who is getting ready to use this type of machine must familiarize themselves with the recommended operational and safety procedures suggested by the manufacturer to be able to stay safe prior to trying to use this particular machinery. It could be devastating to any bystanders and the operator themselves leading to serious injuries if the safety procedures are not followed.



Area

In the best case scenario, the scissor lift will be used on totally level ground. Prior to driving a scissor lift over a certain terrain, the area needs to be checked and cleared of any debris. In order to lower the possibility of the scissor lift tipping over and potentially causing the driver to fall from his seat. It is better to avoid steep grades or holes while operating. Bystanders must also remain aware and avoid the operating scissor lift in order to ensure they do not get run over.



Inspection

The user needs to thoroughly check all vital components of the machinery prior to trying to use a scissor lift. A functional test done while the lift is retracted enables the operator to see if all parts are correctly working before the task is initiated. It is recommended to complete a daily inspection on this machinery prior to the shift starting and some places even want an inspection to occur at the end of the shift as well. Various businesses have various rules in place to maintain safety.



Part of the inspection needs to be checking over the tires. These parts obviously add to the movability of the scissor lift and also provide the machine with a solid foundation. A faulty or worn tire could blow and throw the operator from their place on top of scissor lift.
