Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts

A scissor lift consists of a series of crisscrossed steel arms which are linked to make an X pattern. When raised vertically, the X pattern of support holds the rectangular platform that is situated on top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges of the lifting mechanism in order to keep the employees safe and help to secure their tools.



The scissor lift has a low profile, best utilized for smooth surfaces such as concrete, pavement and hard dirt surfaces. These equipment use either an electric motor or a combustion engine in order to move the lift and power the lifting apparatus. The operator would need to move the lift itself if he or she needs to travel horizontally, because the lift apparatus only operates the lift vertically.



Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

Rough terrain scissor lifts use the identical lifting technology as a regular scissor lift. The main difference is that the rough terrain models feature a different base which is specifically designed for uneven surfaces. These models also offer oversized all terrain tires and higher ground clearance. The rough terrain scissor lifts use 4-wheel drive so as to easily navigate through muddy and difficult terrain.



Telescopic Boom Lift

Telescopic booms are made to be elevated both diagonally and vertically. This unit has a small work platform that houses controls in order to operate the boom. The controls work with a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics that power the boom and move the lift. The telescopic boom lift has off-road capable tires and is an independent lift model.



Articulating Boom Lift

The articulating boom lift features 2 telescopic booms that are attached with a moving elbow mechanism. This lifting machine has a small work platform or a bucket that is outfitted with hand controls in order to control the boom. These are stand-alone lifts that are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are available with either off-road or hard surface tires. These lifts are designed in order to reach over top of and on top of buildings.



Aerial Mast Lift

The aerial mast lift utilizes a telescopic mast so as to lift a work platform vertically into the air. Usually, these lifts are electrically powered or pneumatic powered and are self-propelled machinery. These machines provide an excellent solution for working in high racks within narrow warehouse aisles. It is important to bear in mind that aerial mast lifts are limited to vertical movement and are not recommended for off-road application.
