A scissor lift is a type of mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) designed to lift workers and equipment to higher elevations. Its name comes from the crisscrossing metal supports beneath the platform, which elongate as the platform is raised, resembling a pair of scissors.
Types of Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts come in various types, including electric, hydraulic, and diesel-operated. While electric scissor lifts are popular for indoor use due to their quiet operation and zero emissions, diesel-operated scissor lifts are preferred for outdoor environments where power and durability are paramount.
Diesel Scissor Lift
Advantages of Diesel Power
Diesel scissor lifts are known for their high torque and power, making them ideal for heavy-duty tasks in rugged outdoor environments. Unlike electric models, they are not dependent on battery life, allowing for extended operation without the need for recharging.
Rough terrain scissor lifts deliver a large platform, high capacity and environ mentally friendly solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications. A compact design, battery powered together with oscillating axels provide flexibility for the machine to work on both firm level and rough terrain environments.
- The large platform with high capacity maximizes productivity.
- Battery powered, zero emission and quiet drive mean this machine is environmentally friendly.
- Equipped with oscillating axles that provide excellent performance in soft and rough terrain conditions.
- Optional hydraulic outriggers deliver a better solution on uneven ground.
- Intelligent self-diagnostic system for quick troubleshooting.
