Scissor Lift
A scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform that uses a crisscross (scissor) mechanism to raise and lower a platform. These lifts are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and warehousing applications, allowing workers to access elevated areas safely.
Key Features:
- Mechanism: The scissor lift operates through a series of interlinked arms that form a “scissor” pattern. When hydraulic pressure is applied, the arms extend and retract, raising or lowering the platform.
- Platform: The work platform is spacious and typically equipped with guardrails for safety. It provides a stable surface for workers and equipment.
- Mobility: Many scissor lifts are equipped with wheels or tracks, allowing for easy movement around job sites.
- Power Sources: Scissor lifts can be powered by electricity (battery or corded), diesel, or hydraulic systems, depending on the model and application.
