Types of Scissor Lifts:
- Hydraulic Scissor Lifts: Ideal for warehouses and construction sites, powered by electric motor or compressed air.
- Diesel Scissor Lifts: Best for outdoor use, powered by diesel fuel, suitable for areas with ample ventilation.
- Electric Scissor Lifts: Quiet and emission-free, perfect for indoor spaces with limited ventilation.
- Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts: Designed for demanding outdoor sites with positive traction control and high lift capacity.
- Pneumatic Scissor Lifts: Air-powered and maintenance-free, great for environmentally conscious operations.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind When Hiring a Scissor Lift
- Lifting Capacity: Check the weight capacity and reach height of the scissor lift model.
- Licencing: Operators must have the correct licence if operating machines above 10m, known as a yellow card. Otherwise, no licence is required.
- Regulations: Ensure the lift is operated by a competent person under proper supervision.
- Indoor vs. Outdoor Use: Choose 4WD or tracked models for outdoor use and electric lifts for indoor tasks to avoid harmful fumes and floor damage.
