There are numerous alternatives for access platforms today. There is a lift designed for virtually any business and jobsite application. These self-propelled equipment increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
To raise and lower a platform, scissor lifts are made of an assembly of crossed tubes that 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 that permit the operator to transport big and heavy materials and tools. A platform deck extension slides or rolls out to provide a spacious work area.
Scissor lifts range in size from .76 meters-2.29 meters in width and 6.57-18.15 meters in height. Wider lifts usually have bigger deck areas, as well as greater extension capability and lift capacity. The model numbers of the maker could be used to identify the platform height and width of the machine.
For outdoor use, rough-terrain scissor lifts are the ideal option. They are designed to be durable and tough in demanding construction work locations. They have four-wheel drive with large platforms, efficient lift speed and positive traction control. They are commonly utilized for construction, maintenance and installation.
The most mobile kind of scissor lift is the electric model. They have the advantage of being a lot less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more workers and larger loads. Their hard-rubber tires and high steering angles guarantee excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally used in indoor applications connected to air conditioning, ventilation and electrical works.
