When Would You Need To Hire a Scissor Lift Service?

Posted: Jul 01, 2011 |

Scissor lifts are one of the many elevating work platforms that are available for purchase and hire. These platforms are also known as aerial devices. The ‘cherry picker’ is one of the more well known of these elevating work platforms, but scissor lifts can often be the wisest choice for any aerial work or transport. Scissor lifts are so named because of the mechanism that raises and lowers the work platform itself. The mechanism that allows vertical movement is made up of crossing ‘x’ pattern supports that can fold or unfold to lower or raise the platform – operating in a similar way to a scissors.

In essence, scissor lifts are used when workers need to access an area that would be impossible or difficult to reach without an elevated platform. They provide temporary access to inaccessible or high-up areas by means of a work platform that can be raised into position and lowered after use.

They are most suitable for purposes that require a temporary, flexible platform. As such they are popular among maintenance and construction crews as well as with fire-fighters when they require rapid and stable access to a building. One of the greatest advantages of scissor lifts is that almost all models can be set up and operated by just one person, saving on labour costs. Another advantage of scissor lifts is that models which operate by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure have a fail-safe option where the lift can be safely returned to the ground by use of a manual release valve. This provides an added layer of safety and comfort to workers so that matters can be easily resolved in the unlikely case of a malfunction.

The vertical nature of scissor lift movement does not mean that a scissor lift cannot be used if the area to be worked on is not directly above the set-up area for the lift. Many scissor lifts are equipped with extensions which allow for horizontal access to the work area. These extendable decks mean that scissor lifts can be used even when the area to be worked on is not completely vertical from the ground base of the lift.

Scissor lifts can be used both to support workers and to lift loads. However, scissor lifts are generally not suitable for lifting items weighing over 1 tonne. They can easily withstand the weight of two or more operatives and their tools. Each model and make of scissor lift will have a particular platform capacity weight which workers or business owners can check before deciding which scissor lift to use.

Usually, a scissor lift platform will come equipped with compressed air connectors or electrical outlets so that power tools can be used by the workers it is supporting. If the scissor lift is being used for a more specialised purpose, such as window installation, then specially equipped scissor lifts that possess carrying frames or similar modifications can be obtained.

The versatile nature of scissor lifts means that they can be used in a variety of working situations. For work areas that can only be accessed via a standard doorway, narrow width scissor lifts that can easily be driven through such a space are ideal. Special tyres that are designed to avoid marking floor surfaces are perfect for use inside already completed structures such as shopping centres Power options exist for indoor and outdoor use, with battery powered scissor lifts for indoor safety and diesel and gas powered options for outdoor or long distance applications. For outdoor applications that require travel over rough ground to get to the work area, four wheel drive is obtainable.
