Often found in construction and facility maintenance applications, scissor lifts are made to elevate workers together with their tools up to heights from 5.9 to 17.9 m. These self-propelled machines are named after their core mechanism which works much like a scissor when you lower and raise the platform. Also known as slab scissors, scissor lifts are intended to be used on concrete slab surfaces and depending on the model they can access job sites through single or double doors. Although scissor lifts come with solid non-marking tires sometimes they need a ride to another job site due to their slow travelling speed. For this, you need a scissor lift trailer.
