Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift or table lift, is a mechanical industrial lift that may be customized to be utilized in retail, wholesale, manufacturing and production environments. Industrial scissor lifts have been used chiefly within production and manufacturing facilities for many decades to efficiently elevate and lower supplies, people and other equipment. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that operates like a lift truck. It is handy for tasks that require the mobility and speed of transporting individuals and materials 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 distinctive in the fact that it does not depend on a straight support to raise its platform, rather folding supports beneath it come together and stretch the platform upwards. Available with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift provides a uneven ride due to the lift's construction that keeps it from roaming with a continuous velocity. Instead, it travels faster in the middle of its path and slows down with more extension.

Since the first scissor lifts were built in the 1970's, they have experienced countless improvements in the materials utilized and safety features added, while still keeping with the similar base design. Closely related to the forklift, scissor lifts are in reality acknowledged for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrial table lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. They are most oftentimes utilized indoors from warehouses to automotive repair, these machines function in many different worksites completing many unusual jobs.
