Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms

Aerial platforms and scissor lifts enable workers to work on elevated structures in a safe manner and allow them to reach objects and structures. These platforms and lifts offer friendly user controls to maneuver the platform and the base independently. This enables the equipment to get around objects. There are many available lift designs which are suited for specific applications and settings.



Scissor Lift

Using a series of crisscrossed connected steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to create an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers make use of a big rectangle platform that is attached to the top of the lifting device. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.



Scissor lifts are great for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete as they feature a low profile. These machines use either a combustion engine or an electric motor to power the lifting device as well as the lift.



Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

The rough terrain scissor lift makes use of the same lifting technology as the standard scissor lift model. The rough terrain model varies in that it features a specific base that is designed for uneven surfaces. The rough terrain even provides a higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. These units offer lower lifting heights overall because of the higher center of gravity of the machine.



Telescopic Boom Lift

The telescopic boom lift provides a beam that rises both vertically and diagonally. To operate the boom, the machine has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls make use of an IC or a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.



Articulating Boom Lift

An articulating boom lift has two telescopic booms that are connected with a moving elbow. This lifting machine offers a bucket or a small working platform equipped with hand controls that are used to control the boom. The articulating lift is capable of reaching on top buildings and over objects.
