Scissor Lifts - Electric & Diesel

What is a scissor lift? Scissor lifts, so called because of the scissor type mechanism which lifts the access platform are popular type of vertical lift powered access equipment. They are compact and easy to manoeuvre around site but offer larger reach heights and lifting capacities than push around verticals and mast lifts. They also offer larger working platforms to allow for more than one person to be on the platform at the same time and allow tools and materials to be lifted with operatives when working at height. 

We have a wide range of scissor lifts available to hire, including models powered by electricity or diesel and those suited to both indoor and outdoor applications. Slim yet sturdy our scissor lifts have features to suit a multitude of applications and working environments including narrow width models for restricted spaces and those with double extending decks to offer operators the flexibility to reach further away from the centre of the lift. 

One benefit of this type of access equipment is that they feature fold down guard rails which provide additional safety without losing manoeuvrability as they are still able to fit through standard doorways. Our electric scissor lifts are ideal for indoor us due to their quiet operation, zero emissions and non marking tyres. Our diesel scissor lifts come with a direct fuel power unit meaning they can be run for longer time periods than battery powered models which require charging periodically. Our diesel models also offer an impressive lifting capacity of up to 1000kg – the largest of all of our access equipment range. 

Our scissor lifts available to hire include models which provide a reach height of up to 33.7m, a platform height of up to 31.7m and a lifting capacity of up to 1000kg.
