Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift or table lift, is a mechanical industrial lift that may be adapted to be utilized in retail, wholesale, manufacturing and production settings. Industrialized scissor lifts have been used predominantly within production and manufacturing facilities for many decades to effectively hoist and lower supplies, people and other equipment. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that operates like a lift truck. It is useful for tasks that call for 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 fully extended. It is not like other types of platform lifts that utilize a straight support to raise its platform, rather it has folding supports directly beneath the platform that come together to stretch the platform upwards. Accessible with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a uneven ride due to the lift's construction that keeps it from traveling with a regular velocity. Instead, it travels more rapidly in the middle of its journey and slows down with more extension.

Since the first scissor platform lifts were produced in the 1970's, they have seen a lot of upgrades in the resources utilized and safety features added, while still keeping with the similar base model. Closely associated to the lift truck, scissor lifts are in reality notorious for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrial table lift that can be easily stored in a corner spot in the office. Modern scissor lifts are presently used in almost all areas of production and manufacturing. Used in the construction industry effectively on an bumpy terrain and extensively used indoors among warehouses to automobile repair, these apparatus complete a diverse workload.
