Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts consist of a series of crisscrossed steel arms, connected to create an X pattern. When the crisscrossed arms are extended, the platform is raised vertically. There are support railings along the edges of the lifting mechanism in order to keep the employees safe and help to secure their tools.



The scissor lift has a low profile, best utilized for smooth surfaces such as concrete, pavement and hard dirt surfaces. These machines use either an electric motor or a combustion engine to be able to move the lift and power the lifting mechanism. The operator should move the lift itself if he or she needs to travel horizontally, since the lift mechanism only operates the lift vertically.



Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

The standard scissor lift and the rough terrain scissor lift use identical lifting technology. The main difference is that the rough terrain units feature a different base which is specifically made for surfaces which are not even. These models also provide oversized all terrain tires and higher ground clearance. The rough terrain scissor lifts utilize 4-wheel drive so as to easily navigate through muddy and difficult terrain.



Telescopic Boom Lift

Telescopic booms are made to be elevated both diagonally and vertically. This particular unit has a small work platform that houses controls in order to operate the boom. The controls function with a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics that power the boom and move the lift. The telescopic boom lift has off-road capable tires and is an independent lift model.



Articulating Boom Lift

The articulating boom lift features 2 telescopic booms which are connected with a moving elbow apparatus. This lifting machine has a small work platform or a bucket which is equipped with hand controls to be able to control the boom. These are stand-alone lifts that are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are offered with either hard surface or off-road tires. These lifts are made in order to reach over top of and on top of buildings.



Aerial Mast Lift

In order to raise a work platform vertically into the air, the aerial mast lift uses a telescopic mast. The lift is typically powered pneumatically or electrically and are self-propelled units. These machinery offer a great solution for working in high racks in narrow warehouse aisles. It is very important to note that aerial mast lifts are limited to vertical movement and are not recommended for off-road application.
