Scissor Lifts (rough terrain)

Scissor Platform or Mobile Elevated Work Platform

We hire self-propelled, 2WD and 4WD, rough-terrain scissor lifts up to 17m working height. We can supply many more machines than are listed here. If you can not see what you want, call us. We will be happy to find the most appropriate machine for your needs.

A scissor lift is a type of platform which can usually only move in the vertical plane. The mechanism to achieve this is the use of linked, folding supports in a criss-cross 'X' pattern. The upward motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the lowest set of supports, elongating the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically. The Platform may also have an extending 'bridge' to allow closer access to the work area (because of the inherent limits of vertical only movement).

The contraction of the scissor action can be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical. Depending on the power system employed on the lift, it may require no power to enter 'descent' mode, but rather a simple release of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. This is the main reason that these methods of powering the lifts are preferred, as it allows a 'fail safe' option of returning the platform to the ground by release of a manual valve.
