Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift, often known as a table lift, is an industrialized lift that has been tailored for usage within wholesale and retail settings. Industrial lifts have been utilized for decades in the manufacturing and production industries to efficiently elevate and lower people, supplies and gear. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that operates like a lift truck. It is convenient for tasks that require the mobility and rate of transporting people and material 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 unique in the fact that it does not depend on a straight column to hoist its platform, rather folding supports beneath it come together and stretch the platform upwards. Offered with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a rough ride due to the lift's design that keeps it from traveling with a regular velocity. Instead, it travels more rapidly in the middle of its journey and slows down with more extension.

Since the first scissor platform lifts were built in the 1970's, they have experienced many enhancements in the materials used and safety features added, while still keeping with the same base design. Closely related to the lift truck, scissor lifts are in reality acknowledged for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrialized platform lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. They are most oftentimes used indoors from warehouses to automotive repair, these equipment function in many diverse worksites carrying out many unusual projects.
