There are various options for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for practically any industry and jobsite application. These self-propelled machines increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work in a scissor-like manner to lower and raise a platform. Mostly utilized on level, firm surfaces, these lifts offer access to high places directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their heavy lifting capacities and their big decks which allow the operator to transport big and heavy tools and materials. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
There are various sizes of scissor lifts. They vary from 6.57 meters to 18.15 meters in height and .76 meters to 2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts normally have larger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The manufacturer's model numbers can be utilized to identify the platform height and machine width.
The perfect choice for outdoor use is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are designed to be durable and tough in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with big platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are usually used for installation, construction and maintenance.
The most mobile type 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 bigger loads and more workers. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are usually utilized in indoor applications connected to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
