There are various options for access platforms nowadays. There is a lift designed for virtually any industry and jobsite use. These self-propelled machines increase efficiency and boost productivity.
Scissor Lifts
To be able to lower and raise a platform, scissor lifts are constructed of an assembly of crossed tubes which work like scissors. Mostly used on firm, level surfaces, these lifts provide access to high areas directly over the lift. Scissor lifts are valued for their big decks and their heavy lifting capacities that enable the operator to transport heavy and huge tools and materials. 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 usually have bigger deck areas, as well as greater lift capacity and extension capability. The manufacturer's model numbers could be used to identify the width of the machine and platform height.
The perfect choice for outdoor application is the rough-terrain scissor lift. They are designed 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 commonly used for installation, construction and maintenance.
Electric scissor lifts are the most mobile kinds. They have the benefit of being a lot less noisy and could fit through standard doorways. They allow maximum workspace for more personnel and larger loads. Their high steering angles and hard-rubber tires ensure excellent maneuverability. Electric scissor lifts are normally utilized in indoor applications connected to electrical works, air conditioning and ventilation.
