Is renting a scissor lift practical for painting a high wall inside a home?

It’s either that or scaffolding.

Scaffolding: $100 per day.

Scissor Lift $180 per day.

I think the indoor scissor lift would be better for it’s maneuverability, but getting it inside could be difficult. The door is wide enough but it has to go over 2 wide steps to get inside and then drop down 1ft. to get to the area to be painted. If the lift isn’t too heavy maybe it can be pushed down a couple of 2×12′s.

Are the wheels on these things motorized? Can they be driven up and down a couple of steps?

Are these things so heavy that they risk damaging a tiled floor?
