Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms
Scissor lifts and aerial platforms allow workers to work on elevated structures since they could reach many objects and structures. These lifts provide friendly user controls which enable to operate the the platform independently from the base. This enables the machinery to get around things. There are a lot of available lift designs which are suited for particular settings and applications.
Scissor Lift
Utilizing a series of crisscrossed linked steel arms, the scissor lift is designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers make use of a big rectangle platform which is attached to the top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges to provide added protection.
The scissor lift features a low profile that is ideal for hard and compact dirt surfaces, concrete and pavement. These machinery make use of either a combustion engine or an electric motor to power the lift as well as the lifting mechanism.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts utilize the same technology as the standard model of scissor lift. The rough terrain model varies in that it features a specialized base that is designed for surfaces which are uneven. The rough terrain additionally provides a higher ground clearance and all terrain oversized tires. These models provide lower lifting heights overall due to the equipment's higher center of gravity.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift provides a telescoping beam that rises both vertically and diagonally. This machine offers a small work platform outfitted with controls to operate the boom. The controls utilize an IC or a combustion engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
An articulating boom lift has two telescopic booms that are attached with a moving elbow. This lifting equipment offers a bucket or a small working platform outfitted with hand controls that are used to control the boom. The articulating lift could reach on top buildings and over things.
