Let’s start with the basics — what exactly is a scissor lift, and why is it one of the most used aerial work platforms in industries today?

 

A scissor lift is a mechanical lifting device used to provide temporary access to elevated areas, usually for maintenance, construction, installation, or warehousing tasks. It gets its name from the scissor-like mechanism underneath the platform, which opens and closes to raise or lower the lift vertically.

 

Unlike boom lifts, scissor lifts can only move up and down, but they offer a larger and more stable work platform, making them perfect when working at height is required in a straight vertical direction.

 

🔧 How It Works:

 

The scissor lift is powered by hydraulic, electric, or diesel systems, depending on the model.

 

The platform sits atop folding supports that crisscross in an ''X'' pattern.

 

When power is applied, the supports push apart, extending the platform upwards.
