Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift, often acknowledged as a table lift, is an industrial lift that has been tailored for use in wholesale and retail settings. Mechanized platform lifts have been used for decades in the manufacturing and production industries to efficiently hoist and lower people, materials and gear. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that functions like a lift truck. It is effective for tasks that demand the mobility and speed of transporting individuals and materials into the air.

When fully extended, the scissor lift can reach 6.4 to 18.8 meters or from 21 to 62 feet above ground. It is distinctive in the fact that it does not rely on a straight support to raise its platform, rather folding supports beneath it come together and stretch the platform upwards. Available with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift provides a uneven ride due to the lift's design that keeps it from roaming with a regular velocity. Instead, it travels faster in the middle of its journey and slows down with added extension.

Since the first scissor lifts were created in the 1970's, they have seen numerous advancements in the resources used and safety features added, while still keeping with the similar base model. Closely related to the lift truck, scissor lifts are in reality notorious for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrial platform lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. They are most oftentimes utilized indoors from warehouses to automotive repair, these machines function in many different worksites carrying out many different projects.
