What is a scissor lift used for?

A scissor lift is a mobile platform used to safely move workers and their tools vertically to work at height. It's commonly used in construction, warehousing, retail (for stocking), and facility maintenance for tasks like painting, installing fixtures, or accessing high shelving.

What's the difference between an electric and a rough terrain scissor lift?

Electric scissor lifts are best for indoor use or on smooth, flat surfaces like concrete slabs. They have non-marking tires and produce zero emissions. Rough Terrain (Diesel/Dual Fuel) lifts have heavy-duty tires, more power, and 4WD, making them suitable for navigating uneven, outdoor jobsites.

How do I choose the right height for a scissor lift?

Consider your 'working height,' which is typically 6 feet above the 'platform height.' For example, if you need to work at a height of 25 feet, you should rent a scissor lift with a platform height of at least 19 feet. Always choose a lift that provides a comfortable margin above your required working height.

Do I need training to operate a scissor lift?

Yes. In the United States, OSHA requires that all operators receive proper training and certification before operating any type of aerial work platform, including scissor lifts. The training covers safe operation, hazard identification, and emergency procedures.

Can a scissor lift move while the platform is extended?

Yes, most modern scissor lifts can be driven while the platform is elevated, but only at a significantly reduced, slow speed. It's crucial to ensure the ground is level and free of obstacles or drop-offs before moving an extended lift.
