What is Scissor Lift?

Scissor Lift is a type of platform that can typically only move 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. Scissor Lift is normally used by workers to reach a certain height for work.

Scissor Lift is best for indoor use like basic maintenance work and painting since the larger-sized bucket can accommodate multiple workers and equipment. There are rough terrain scissor lifts available to handle slightly uneven terrain when outdoor work is required.
