4 Ton Scissor Lift

A scissor lift is a machine made to move personnel and equipment in a vertical direction. These lifts can handle any application that would normally require a ladder, tower or scaffolding.Lightweight scissor lifts range from 2-ton scissor lift to 4-ton scissor lift, while medium-duty scissor lifts range from 5-ton scissor lift to 10-ton scissor lift.There are three main types of scissor lifts: hydraulic, electric/ diesel, and pneumatic. These types will be further discussed in the next section.To calculate a scissor lift force, add half the weight of the scissor arms to the weight of the payload, then divide by the tangent of the angle between the arm and the ground.
