What is Scissor Lift?

A scissor lift is a device that is used for lifting people or objects to the required height. This type of lift moves vertically. It is widely used in manufacturing and construction, where it is common for people who work in hard to reach areas. It is also used for the maintenance of high-rise buildings. It reduces the efforts of workers because they have to carry heavy loads manually. In addition, it helps them to have a height that is comfortable for the proper exercise of their functions. For example, if a worker has to clean the windows of a third floor, he can use the scissor lift to reach that height. In simple terms, this device increases the efficiency of a worker. They are also widely used by emergency services such as fire fighting.

There are different types of lifting platforms. However, all these lift has a more or less similar structure. They consist of three main parts: the platform, arms and scissors controls. If stretching the scissor arms, the lift is moved up and when the scissors arms are pressed together, the elevator moves down. These lifts can be divided into two types - manually driven and self driven. While self-propelled lifts with engine move up and down, the lifts are manually operated manually moved up

and down.

The Scissor Lift in India can be divided into two types depending on the drive - hydraulic and pneumatic mechanical lifts. In hydraulic lift, a liquid is used for the upward movement of the lift. If the liquid is released, the scissor arm stretch, and the elevator move upward. The amount of liquid released depends on the height at which the elevator is to be increased. It is controlled by a valve. In pneumatic lifts, air bags are used to move the scissor arms up and down. Depending on the power source, a gas scissors lift and electric disks are divided. Gas-fueled lifts are typically used for exterior applications, while electric is used for indoor applications.

When renting or buying this equipment should pay attention to its specification. To research the two most important things are the height at which the lift and the amount of stress it can contain. The maximum altitude, it can reach, is about 50 feet and the maximum load that can support it, is nearly 10,000 pounds. Nowadays, even lifts with special features are present. Some of these features are tilt, rotation and horizontal displacement. The tilt function allows the worker to choose the angle of the platform and the rotation function allows the platform to rotate. Some of them have a platform that can even move horizontally. Some companies manufacture the requirements of its customers. You have the choice of the standard or scissors to your liking.

Scissor lifts are dangerous if misused. The user must carefully follow the safety instructions. In addition, avoid overloading the lift more than its permissible load limit. Overloading can lead to accidents and should therefore be avoided. In addition, you must hold the device when it is not used to prevent unauthorized use.
