How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the support weight of the scissors and the integrity of the steel cross sections over the length. The scissor structures weight and length are corollaries, meaning that the former determines the latter for a stable scissor jack. An extreme instance of this to show the point will be a 20-foot lift length that is featherweight made from Styrofoam that is pretty much weightless. It definitely can not support at much of a height and would not be able to support a lot at all.



Determine how high in the air the platform will be raised to determine or calculate the length of the scissor lift required to support the weight of both objects and occupants on the platform in relation to the platform's weight.



In order to reach the necessary height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections that will be necessary to be extended at their full extension. Lastly, you will never want to ascend some employees up on a platform with their materials which is on a platform supported by any type of structure that is unstable because clearly any machine which is prone to tipping will put people in an extremely dangerous situation.



Determine the weight of each and every scissor cross-section. This is very important to determining the length and weight of the scissor lift you will need as well as the overall stability of the equipment. When fully extended, determine the angle between the ground or horizontal level against the scissor arms measured.
