Scissor Lift Machine

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.Scissor lifts are a classification of manlift often found in construction and facility maintenance applications designed to elevate workers and their tools to working heights ranging from 5.9 m (19 ft) to 17.9 (59 ft).Scissor lifts, which are typically self-propelled machines, get their name from their lifting mechanism design — a stack of crossed tubes that work in a scissor-like fashion when the platform is raised and lowered.Scissor lifts are one category of man lift, or what are now technically referred to as mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). While there are different kinds of scissor lifts, each is designed for a specific purpose.
