A scissor lift is an aerial work platform that moves vertically to enable users to reach heights of up to 20m. The mechanism creates a criss-cross ‘X’ pattern as it rises and lowers, much like a pair of scissors. Scissor lifts are used for construction, maintenance, repairs and general access to high or difficult areas and are utilised by many different industries.
Scissor lifts are meant for temporary works and can be transported to site either loaded onto a trailer or under their own power. There are several types of fuel available, including diesel, battery, bi-fuel, LPG and air-powered units. Scissor lifts come in a variety of sizes to suit different applications – compact and micro scissor lifts are available for tight access areas, for example.
Scissor lifts are controlled by an operator either on the platform or at the base of the unit, or even by remote control. For a scissor lift, the main motion is vertical – moving up or down according to the required working height – whereas some other aerial platforms have a greater range of movement and rotation. However many scissor lifts have extending platforms to increase the working area and allow the operator to get closer to the area they need to operate on.

These types of platforms can be used in a variety of applications, including:
stock picking
maintenance
repairs
construction
events
tree surgery
high-angle filming
industrial
retail and commercial
military
institutional
warehouse
distributioin
aviation and aerospace
agriculture
railways
Scissor lifts require training to operate, and can be dangerous if used without proper instruction and supervision. Regular maintenance and repairs must be carried out on your scissor lift to ensure good working order at all times. Aerial work platforms can be hazardous if not correctly used or maintained, and working at such a height is extremely dangerous. Many powered access equipment companies will provide training, maintenance and repair services according to your needs.
Other types of aerial work platforms are sometimes more appropriate than a scissor lift, for example a boom lift or cherry picker has a wider range of movement than a scissor lift, and a personnel lift is generally more compact and therefore is able to access tighter areas.
