There are various options for access platforms these days. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite application and business. These self-propelled machinery increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like way to raise and lower a platform. Generally utilized on surfaces which are firm and level, 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 enable the operator to transport heavy and huge supplies and tools. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts range in size from 6.57-18.15 meters in height and .76 meters-2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts tend to have larger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers can be used to identify the platform height and machine width.
The perfect choice for outdoor application is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are designed to be tough and durable in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with big platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are frequently used for construction, maintenance and installation.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile kinds. They have the benefit of being less noisy and can fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more employees and larger loads. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles guarantee excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally used in indoor applications related to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
