Classifications of Aerial Lift Platforms & Scissor Lifts

A scissor lift consists of a series of crisscrossed steel arms which are connected to create an X pattern. When vertically raised, the X pattern of support holds the rectangular platform which is situated on top of the lifting apparatus. There are support railings along the lifting mechanism's edges to be able to keep the workers safe and help to secure their tools.



The scissor lift has a low profile, best suited for smooth surfaces such as hard dirt surfaces, concrete and pavement. These equipment utilize either an electric motor or a combustion engine in order to power the lifting mechanism and move the lift. The operator will need to move the lift itself if he or she needs to travel horizontally, as the lift apparatus only operates the lift in a vertical manner.



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 models feature a different base which is specifically designed for uneven surfaces. These models also provide higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. The rough terrain scissor lifts use 4-wheel drive so as to navigate through difficult and muddy terrain easily.



Telescopic Boom Lift

The telescopic boom lift uses a telescoping beam that elevates both diagonally and vertically. This model has a small work platform which houses controls to be able to control the boom. The controls function with a combustion engine so as to power the hydraulics which move the lift and power the boom. The telescopic boom lift has off-road capable tires and is an independent lift unit.



Articulating Boom Lift

There are two telescopic booms on the articulating boom lift. These are connected with a moving elbow mechanism. This lifting equipment has a small work platform or a bucket that is outfitted with hand controls in order to control the boom. These are stand-alone lifts which are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are available with either off-road or hard surface tires. These lifts are designed to be able to reach over top of and on top of buildings.



Aerial Mast Lift

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