Scissor Lifts

The scissor lift, often known as a table lift, is an industrial lift that has been tailored for usage within wholesale and retail environments. Industrial lifts have been utilized for decades within the manufacturing and production industries to effectively hoist and lower people, supplies and equipment. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that functions like a lift truck. It is useful for tasks that demand the mobility and rate of transporting individuals and objects into the air.

When extended, the scissor lift can range 6.4 to 18.8 meters or from 21 to 62 feet above ground. It is unique in the fact that it does not depend on a straight support to raise its platform, rather folding supports beneath it come together and stretch the platform upwards. Available with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a bumpy ride due to the lift's construction that keeps it from traveling with a steady velocity. Instead, it travels more rapidly in the middle of its path and slows down with more extension.

Ever since the first scissor lifts were built in the 1970's, they have seen a lot of upgrades in the materials utilized and safety features added, while still keeping with the identical base design. Closely related to the lift truck, scissor lifts are in actuality acknowledged for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrialized table lift that can be simply stored in a corner spot in the office. They are most commonly utilized indoors from warehouses to automotive repair, these machines function in many diverse worksites carrying out many different projects.
