Quality, Durability and Reliability
Scissor lifts are mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) commonly used in construction,
maintenance, and industrial settings to provide temporary access to elevated areas. They
are characterised by a platform that can be raised vertically by linked, folding supports,
resembling a pair of crossed scissors when extended.
Here are some key features and uses of scissor lifts:
1. Vertical Movement: Scissor lifts use a crisscrossing mechanism of linked supports, known as scissor mechanisms, to raise and lower the platform vertically. This design allows for smooth and stable movement while providing access to elevated areas.
2. Platform: The platform of a scissor lift serves as a workspace for workers and equipment. It is typically equipped with guardrails and toe boards for safety and may have extensions or deck extensions to accommodate larger loads or provide additional workspace.
3. Power Source: Scissor lifts can be powered by various sources, including electric batteries, diesel engines, or hydraulic systems. Electric-powered lifts are commonly used indoors or in areas with strict emission regulations, while diesel-powered lifts are preferred for outdoor or rough terrain applications.
4. Types: Scissor lifts come in various configurations to suit different needs and environments. This includes indoor models with non-marking tyres for use on smooth surfaces, rough terrain models with larger tyres and enhanced stability for outdoor use, and narrow models for accessing tight spaces.
5. Applications: Scissor lifts are versatile and can be used for a wide range of tasks, including construction, building maintenance, installation, repair, painting, and warehouse operations. They provide safe and efficient access to overhead areas such as ceilings, roofs, building facades, and shelving.
6. Safety Features: Scissor lifts are equipped with various safety features to protect workers and prevent accidents. These may include emergency lowering systems, overload sensors, tilt sensors, interlock systems, and platform extensions with safety gates.
7. Training and Certification: Operators of scissor lifts are typically required to undergo training and obtain certification to ensure safe operation. Training covers topics such as equipment operation, hazard identification, fall protection, and emergency procedures. Overall, scissor lifts are valuable tools for working at heights, providing a stable and secure platform for workers to perform tasks safely and efficiently. They play a critical role in a wide range of industries and applications where temporary access to elevated areas is required.
