Scissor Lifts

Scissor Lift Training Moose Jaw - The scissor lift, often identified as a table lift, is an industrialized lift that has been tailored for usage in wholesale and retail environments. Industrial platform lifts have been utilized for decades in the manufacturing and production industries to effectively raise and lower people, materials and equipment. The scissor lift is a platform with wheels that functions like a forklift. It is convenient for duties that call for the mobility and rate of transporting people and material into the air.

Scissor lifts can reach anywhere from 6.5 to 18.8 meters or 21 to 62 feet when fully extended. It is not like other models of forklifts that utilize a straight support to raise its platform, rather it has folding supports directly underneath the platform that come together to stretch the platform upwards. Available with either an electric or hydraulic motor, the scissor lift offers a rough ride due to the lift's construction that keeps it from traveling with a regular velocity. Instead, it travels faster in the middle of its path and slows down with additional extension.

Since the first scissor platform lifts were designed in the 1970's, they have seen various enhancements in the materials utilized and safety features added, while still keeping with the same base design. Closely associated to the forklift, scissor lifts are really known for their effectiveness and portability, as they are the only industrialized platform lift that can be easily kept in a corner spot in the office. They are most oftentimes utilized indoors from warehouses to automotive repair, these equipment function in many different worksites carrying out many unusual projects.
