There are many options for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite use and industry. These self-propelled machinery increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are made of an assembly of crossed tubes that work in a scissor-like manner to raise and lower 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 transport heavy and large tools and supplies. A platform deck extension slides or rolls 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 manufacturer's model numbers could be used to identify the machine width and platform height.
For outdoor application, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the ideal choice. They are meant to be tough and durable in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with large platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are commonly used for installation, construction and maintenance.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile kinds. They have the benefit of being less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for bigger loads and more personnel. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires guarantee superb maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally utilized in indoor applications related to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
