How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

A scissor jack lift's length is proportional to the scissor support weight together with the integrity of the steel cross sections more than the length. The scissor structure's weight along with the length is corollaries of each other; thus, the former determines the latter for scissor jack stability. An extreme instance of this to show the point will be a 20-foot lift length that is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is practically weightless. It certainly can not support at much of a height and can not support a lot at all.



In order to calculate the length of a scissor lift, determine how high in the air you have to support a platform which would support of the weight of the objects and occupants on the platform as well as the platform's weight.



To be able to reach the necessary height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections which would be necessary to be extended at their full extension. Lastly, you will never want to ascend some workers up on a platform along with their supplies that is on a platform supported by any kind of unstable structure as obviously any type of machine that is prone to tipping would put people in a really dangerous situation.



Determine the weight of every scissor cross-section. This is vital to determining the weight and length of the scissor lift you will need as well as the overall stability of the equipment. When fully extended, determine the angle between the scissor arms measured against the ground or horizontal level.
