Question 7

Are scissor lifts safe?

Accepted Answer

Scissor lifts are one of the safest aerial lifts to use as long as you follow the maximum weight guidelines from the manufacturer. If you don't follow the best safety tips for scissor lifts, there is a chance of tipping and serious injury. Never operate a scissor lift unless you received proper training first and do not use a scissor lift if the job site is not safe.

Question 8

What's safer between a scissor lift vs a ladder?

Accepted Answer

Scissor lifts are safer than ladders primarily because scissor lifts allow you to have both feet planted on an even platform without anyone holding you steady. Ladders are always a safety risk, especially when it's almost impossible to keep three points of contact when working in construction.

Question 9

Can scissor lifts be used outside?

Accepted Answer

There are rough terrain scissor lifts that operate outside on rough and uneven terrain. These scissor lifts can be better suited for outdoor use than a boom lift as they do not require as much room to maneuver themselves.

Question 10

What's the difference between a scissor lift vs boom lift?

Accepted Answer

The main difference is that scissor lifts can only move up and down, while articulating and telescopic boom lifts can move horizontally and vertically. Scissor lifts also have wider platforms, allowing them to carry more people or materials.

Question 11

How high can scissor lifts go?

Accepted Answer

Scissor lifts can reach heights anywhere between 19 feet and 59 feet at max extension, depending on the model.

Question 12

Should I use an electric or engine powered scissor lift?

Accepted Answer

Electric-powered scissor lifts are better for indoor use because they are quieter, less ventilation is needed, and it helps preserve the battery. Engine-powered scissor lifts typically allow for higher heights, platform capacities, and rougher terrain than their electric versions. Just make sure to charge your electric model if you go that route.

Question 13

What is the most common scissor lift rental?

Accepted Answer

The most popular scissor lift rentals are the 19-foot and 26-foot models. This would include models like the LiuGong 1932E, Skyjack SJIII 3219, JLG 1930ES, Skyjack SJ3226, Genie 2632, and JLG 2530ES.

Question 14

What is the platform capacity of scissor lifts?

Accepted Answer

Platform capacity for scissor lifts ranges from 500 lbs to 2250 lbs. Typically, electric scissor lifts have lower platform capacities, so if you're moving heavier materials, scissor lifts like the JLG RT5394, RT 4394, or RT3394 might be the right choices as they have lift capacities of 1,500 lbs, 1,500 lbs, and 2,250 lbs, respectively.
