Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift, often known as a table lift, is an industrial lift that has been tailored for usage within wholesale and retail environments. Industrialized lifts have been used for decades within the manufacturing and production industries to efficiently hoist and lower people, resources and gear. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that operates like a lift truck. It is effective for tasks that demand the mobility and rate of transporting people and material into the air.

When extended, the scissor lift can range 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 column to hoist its platform, rather folding supports underneath it come together and stretch the platform upwards. Offered with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a uneven ride due to the lift's design that keeps it from roaming with a constant velocity. Instead, it travels more rapidly in the middle of its journey and slows down with added extension.

Since the first scissor lifts were fashioned in the 1970's, they have seen many improvements in the materials utilized and security features added, while still keeping with the identical base model. Closely associated to the forklift, scissor lifts are in reality notorious for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only mechanized table lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. Current scissor lifts are presently used in practically all areas of production and manufacturing. Used in the construction industry effectively on an rough terrain and commonly used indoors among warehouses to vehicle repair, these machines complete a diverse workload.
