When you need an elevated work platform that provides more workspace and is strong enough to lift large loads, a scissor lift may be the aerial lifting solution you are looking for. From 150kg to 30 tonne capacity, you will find the right scissor lift supplier to cater to your needs by browsing through our extensive selection of listed providers below.

Choosing the right scissor lift

Working height

Measure the working height you will need your machine to reach. Scissor lifts can reach heights from around 4 meters up to 30 meters.

Light access machines with scissor arms are ideal for working at lower levels up to 10 meters.

Should your employees be using the lift as a work platform, check that secure guardrails have been fitted to the machine to ensure their safety.

Working environment

Choose a machine appropriate to your work environment. If the lift will be used indoors, opt for an electric powered machine as these tend to be less noisy and produce fewer emissions. If you are concerned about the machine marking your shop floor, choose non-marking types.

If the platform will be used outdoors, diesel powered machines provide extra power, which is essential if covering rough terrain. When using these outdoor models, ensure that the machine is positioned on a firm, level surface prior to operating.

Load weight

Scissor lifts range in capacity from 150kg up to 30 tonnes. Ensure that you select the right capacity for your application.

If you are having trouble deciding whether a cherry picker or scissor lift is the right access machine for your job, keep in mind that booms typically only have a safe working load of 230kg.

Maneuverability

Most scissor lifts can only move vertically, however some enable the operator to shift the platform horizontally. If you need to maneuver around an obstruction or require an angular ascent, you may need to consider another type of elevated work platform, such as a straight or articulated boom.

For additional maneuverability, consider a scissor lift with an expandable platforms. Single extensions provide extra reach on one side of the work platform while double deck extensions expand from either side.

If you are using your lift to move heavy goods, you may also want to consider a machine with a tilting function.
