There are numerous choices for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for virtually any jobsite use and business. These self-propelled equipment 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 which work like scissors. Commonly used on level, firm surfaces, 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 large and heavy tools and supplies. A platform deck extension rolls or slides out to provide a spacious work area.
There are different 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 tend to have larger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The manufacturer's model numbers can be used to identify the machine width and height of the platform.
The perfect choice for outdoor use is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are intended to be durable and tough in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with positive traction control, big platforms and efficient lift speed. They are usually used for construction, maintenance and installation.
The most mobile type of scissor lift is the electric model. They have the benefit of being a lot less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more employees and bigger loads. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally utilized in indoor applications connected to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
