Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift, often identified as a table lift, is an industrialized lift that has been tailored for use within wholesale and retail environments. Industrial lifts have been used for decades in the manufacturing and production industries to effectively hoist and lower people, resources and equipment. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that operates like a forklift. It is handy for tasks that demand the mobility and speed of transporting individuals and objects into the air.

Scissor lifts can reach anywhere from 6.5 to 18.8 meters or 21 to 62 feet when totally extended. It is not like other designs of forklifts that make use of a straight support to elevate its platform, rather it has folding supports directly beneath the platform that come together to stretch the platform upwards. Offered with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a rough ride due to the lift's construction that keeps it from traveling with a invariable velocity. Instead, it travels faster in the middle of its journey and slows down with more extension.

Ever since the first scissor platform lifts were created in the 1970's, they have experienced various enhancements in the materials used and security features added, while still keeping with the similar base model. Closely associated to the lift truck, scissor lifts are in actuality recognized for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only mechanized platform lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. Contemporary scissor lifts are presently used in just about all areas of production and manufacturing. Utilized in the construction industry successfully on an uneven terrain and commonly used indoors among warehouses to vehicle repair, these machines complete a diverse workload.
