Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms
Scissor lifts and aerial platforms allow workers to work on high structures in a safe manner and allow them to reach things and structures. These platforms and lifts offer friendly user controls to maneuver the platform and the base separately. This enables the machine to get around things. There are numerous lift designs available which are suitable for particular environments and applications.
Scissor Lift
The scissor lift utilizes a series of crisscrossed connected steel arms. These arms are designed to make an X patterned support system when the lift is raised vertically. Workers make use of a large 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 which is ideal for pavement, hard and compact dirt surfaces and concrete. These machines use either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the lift and the lifting device.
Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
Rough terrain scissor lifts make use of the same technology as the regular type of scissor lift. The rough terrain unit differs in that it features a specific base that is designed for uneven surfaces. The rough terrain additionally provides a higher ground clearance and oversized all terrain tires. These models provide lower lifting heights overall due to the higher center of gravity of the machine.
Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift provides a beam that rises both vertically and diagonally. In order to operate the boom, the equipment has controls outfitted on the work platform. The controls use a combustion or an IC engine in order to power the hydraulics and lift the boom.
Articulating Boom Lift
Articulating booms have two telescopic booms attached together with a moving elbow. This lifting equipment offers a bucket or a small working platform equipped with hand controls that are used to control the boom. The articulating lift is capable of reaching on top buildings and over things.
Most warehouses use the smaller 3000 lb. to 4000 lb. lift trucks. If you run a small operation and need just one truck, this forklift size is an ideal and practical choice. The typical forklift is a wide aisle truck that requires at least 11' aisles to turn in. The width of the aisle is determined by the turn radius, the truck size and the size of the load. Available attachments and options include hydraulic clamps, slip sheet attachments, side shifts and fork shifts.
Reach trucks or double-deep reach, stand-up reach, and straddle reach trucks are a particularly designed narrow aisle reach truck for racked pallet storage. This model measures 8' to 10'. The reach truck has telescoping forks and utilizes outriggers in front as well as a hydraulic scissors-type mechanism. The hydraulic scissors kind of mechanism enables you to pick up the load and retract it over the outriggers. This design enables the operator to turn in a narrower aisle by reducing the truck's overall load length.
