Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms

A scissor lift is made up of a series of crisscrossed steel arms that are linked to make an X pattern. When vertically raised, the X pattern of support holds the rectangular platform which is situated on top of the lifting apparatus. There are support railings along the edges of the lifting apparatus to be able to help secure the workers' tools and keep them safe.



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



Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

The standard scissor lift and the rough terrain scissor lift use the same lifting technology. The key difference is that the rough terrain models feature a different base that is particularly made for uneven surfaces. These units also provide oversized all terrain tires and higher ground clearance. The rough terrain scissor lifts use 4-wheel drive so as to navigate through difficult and muddy terrain with no trouble.



Telescopic Boom Lift

Telescopic booms are designed to be raised both diagonally and vertically. This unit has a small work platform which houses controls to be able to operate the boom. The controls function with a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics which move the lift and power the boom. 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 which 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 which are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are available with either off-road or hard surface tires. These lifts are designed to be able to reach over top of and on top of buildings.



Aerial Mast Lift

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