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