Scissor Lifts

Overview

Compact electric scissor configurations prioritize a smaller footprint. Confirm the actual dimensions rather than relying on the compact label.

Suitable Applications

Restricted aisles and sites with strict access or footprint limits, where the operating conditions are suitable.

Key Considerations

• Machine Width: Check clearance through doors, aisles and the complete access route.
• Stowed Height: Verify overhead clearance along the complete access and transport route.
• Rated Platform Capacity: Verify the rated load, occupants and any limits that change with the operating configuration.
• Ground Conditions: Verify the actual surface, slope limits, tires and drive arrangement against the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Battery and Endurance: Confirm battery configuration, charging and usable endurance for the intended duty cycle.

Overview

Standard electric scissors provide vertical access with electrically powered configurations. Platform size and drive performance vary by model.

Suitable Applications

Warehousing, installation and factory maintenance on suitable firm and level surfaces.

Key Considerations

• Working Height: Confirm the stated working height and the manufacturer’s measurement convention; it is not the platform height.
• Platform Dimensions: Compare usable platform space and any extension restrictions.
• Rated Platform Capacity: Verify the rated load, occupants and any limits that change with the operating configuration.
• Drive and Terrain Capability: Compare drive configuration, tires and stated terrain capability for the intended site.
• Ground Conditions: Verify the actual surface, slope limits, tires and drive arrangement against the manufacturer’s instructions.

Overview

These configurations combine electric power with terrain-oriented tires and drive arrangements. Their actual capability must be checked against site conditions.

Suitable Applications

Suitable outdoor work requiring electric drive and greater site adaptability than a standard indoor configuration.

Key Considerations

• Drive and Terrain Capability: Compare drive configuration, tires and stated terrain capability for the intended site.
• Ground Conditions: Verify the actual surface, slope limits, tires and drive arrangement against the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Battery and Endurance: Confirm battery configuration, charging and usable endurance for the intended duty cycle.

Overview

Diesel rough-terrain scissors use an engine-powered configuration and terrain-oriented chassis. Verify emissions, weight and platform load for the actual site.

Suitable Applications

Suitable outdoor construction sites and tasks requiring higher platform loads, within the equipment’s limits.

Key Considerations

• Power Source: Confirm battery, engine or hybrid configuration, charging needs and site restrictions.
• Indoor / Outdoor Operating Conditions: Confirm permitted operating conditions, wind limits and emissions requirements; electric power alone does not establish suitability.
• Rated Platform Capacity: Verify the rated load, occupants and any limits that change with the operating configuration.
• Machine Weight: Check transport, lifting and site loading constraints for the actual configuration.
• Ground Conditions: Verify the actual surface, slope limits, tires and drive arrangement against the manufacturer’s instructions.
