There are many options for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for practically any industry and jobsite application. These self-propelled machines boost productivity and increase efficiency.
Scissor Lifts
To be able to lower and raise a platform, scissor lifts are made of an assembly of crossed tubes that work like scissors. Generally used on surfaces which are level and firm, these lifts offer access to high areas directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their large decks and their heavy lifting capacities that enable the operator to convey heavy and large materials and tools. A platform deck extension rolls or slides out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts vary in size from 6.57-18.15 meters in height and .76 meters-2.29 meters in width. Wider lifts usually have bigger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The model numbers of the manufacturer could be utilized to identify the width of the machine and platform height.
For outdoor use, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the ideal choice. They are designed to be durable and tough in demanding construction worksites. They have four-wheel drive with efficient lift speed, positive traction control and large platforms. They are commonly utilized for maintenance, installation and construction.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile kinds. They have the advantage of being less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more workers and bigger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are often utilized in indoor applications related to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
