Scissor Lift
A scissor lift is a type of hydraulic lift that uses linked, folded supports that, when extended, form diamond shapes. Compared with other types of lifts, scissor lifts are able to hold larger loads and handle wider work areas.
Scissor lifts are one of the most common types of hydraulic lifts. They are used in a wide variety of applications, from lift tables that adjust their height to provide an ergonomic work surface to aerial lifts that transport workers and goods to otherwise unreachable heights. Scissor lifts have many uses in construction and maintenance jobs.
An important consideration when choosing a scissor lift is where it will be used. Scissor lifts may be gas or electric powered. For instance, rough-terrain scissor lifts are diesel powered and good for outdoor use, but cannot be used inside. For inside uses such as in factories and warehouses, electric scissor lifts are ideal due to their absense of noise and emissions.
