Summary: Vertical lifting
for indoor and outdoor use
Scissor lifts are a type of aerial work platform
characterized by their distinctive crisscrossing support mechanism that extends
vertically, raising a work platform. This mechanism resembles the action of
scissors opening, hence the name.
Function: Scissor lifts provide a stable and efficient way to elevate workers and their tools to perform tasks at height. They are primarily used for vertical lifting, raising the platform straight up.
Mechanism: The
platform is raised by a hydraulic system that extends the linked, folding
supports in a scissor-like fashion.
Applications: Scissor lifts are commonly used for:
* Indoor maintenance and installation
(e.g., lighting, electrical work)
* Construction tasks that require vertical
access
* Stock picking in warehouses
* Cleaning and painting at height
Advantages: They offer a large platform area, allowing multiple workers and equipment to be lifted simultaneously. They are also known for their stability when raised.
