What is a scissor lift?
The scissor lift is a type of platform lift that that uses a mechanism of linked, folding supports arranged in a criss-cross “X” pattern, resembling a pair of scissors when the lift is extended vertically. It can be used to raise and lower people, objects and materials to varying heights.
Uses of a Scissor Lift
Scissor lifts are used in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing and maintenance. They can be used to provide temporary access to high areas that are difficult to reach with ladders or scaffolding. The platform of a scissor lift can be either fixed or movable, and the lifts can come in various sizes and weight capacities to accommodate different applications. Scissor lifts can be used indoors or outdoors, and some models are designed for rough terrain use.
Advantages of Using a Scissor Lift
Safety
Scissor lifts are safer than other lifting and climbing equipment types, such as swinging scaffolds, ladders, and scaffolds, because they’re easier to control and have safety features. Most of the scissor lifts with wireless remote control, you only need to move your fingers to safely control the rise and fall of the platform. Additionally, scissor lifts are designed with safety features, such as over travel switch, an emergency lowering device with power failure, hydraulic tubing explosion-proof valve, and an emergency braking switch, so you can work safely even when the lift is moving up and down.
Efficiency&Flexible
Scissor lifts are more efficient than other types of aerial platforms because they require less time and effort to set up or break down compared with traditional boom lifts or fruit pickers (which require more labor). No assembly and debugging are required, just need to connect the power, and it can work normally. Scissor lifts can be used on rough terrains, like construction sites or farms, where there isn’t much room to maneuver. Scissor lifts can also be used for smaller jobs that require elevation, such as painting a house or installing gutters. Scissor lifts can also be used on construction sites where there is no room for a crane or other large machinery.
Types of Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts can be devided to two types, which depends on the power type.
Hydraulic type
The hydraulic scissor lift is a motor-driven hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinder to provide lifting power. It is characterized by a large lifting load and stable lifting.
Electric type
The electric scissor lift is powered by a motor and a reducer, the lifting load is small and the noise is loud.They are available in a wide range of sizes and weight capacities. They can be used for many different applications.
hydraulic scissor lift
Here, we will focus on the introduction of the hydraulic scissor lift, which mainly realizes the function of lifting through the pressure transmission of hydraulic oil. When rising, the high-pressure oil output by the vane pump enters the lower part of the oil cylinder through a series of control valves and pipelines, pushing the oil cylinder upward to drive the platform to lift up; when falling, the vane pump stops, the control valve opens the oil drain circuit, the platform slowly descends under the action of its own weight, and the hydraulic oil in the oil cylinder is squeezed out to drain the oil. Its scissor mechanical structure makes the lift have high stability, wide operating platform and high load capacity. The ability to make high-altitude operations larger and suitable for multiple people to work at the same time. It makes aerial work more efficient and safer. Most models with small load and low lifting height use a one-way oil cylinder.
Stationary hydraulic scissor lift
The stationary hydraulic scissor lift can be customized according to the user’s needs (elevation, load, space size, etc.), and the maximum load can reach up to 80 tons.
Mobile hydraulic scissor lift
The lifting height can reach 18 m, and the maximum load can reach 10 tons. Non-standard mobile hydraulic scissor lifts can also be customized according to the customer’s requirements.

6 Tips for Choosing the Right Scissor Lift
Determining the following factors will help you choose the most suitable scissor lift:
Type of workspace
Does the scissor lift need to lift people or goods from a fixed plane to another plane? If yes, choose a stationary scissor lift, if not, choose a mobile scissor lift.
Workspace Dimensions
How much space can a scissor lift work in, in a tight space or a wide space? If working on a tight job site, a compact scissor lift may be your best choice. If it's a large space and multiple people are working at the same time, or you need to frequently move heavy loads from one area of the building to another (such as between floors), then consider buying a large scissor lift.
load capacity
How much weight does a scissor lift need to be able to carry?
lifting height
How many meters does the scissor lift need to lift people or goods?
Power supply
Based on the conditions at the job site, what kind of power supply do you need? Direct access to single-phase electricity, two-phase electricity, three-phase electricity, or manual pump, diesel engine, battery DC, gasoline engine, generator, battery? If it is connected directly to the electricity, what is the voltage?
Exterior color
What color do you need to spray it for? Whether need to add your company's logo?

A high-quality scissor lift, if maintained and used properly, will run for 10 to 15 years without any problems.
Concrete floor, brick floor, tile floor and other levels or floors with slopes.
The standard warranty period of the scissor lift is 12 months after delivery from the factory. Except for damage caused by human misuse and force majeure, we will provide timely after-sales service.
The brakes of each mechanism of the scissor type elevator should be regularly inspected and adjusted for the clearance between the brake pads and brake wheels to ensure flexibility and reliability. On the friction surface, there should be no dirt present, and any dirt must be washed off with gasoline.
Check the wire rope of the scissor elevator for any broken wires or loose strands. If any, it must be replaced immediately.
Regularly check the connection of the scissor lift and tighten it if there is any looseness. The tightness of the body connecting bolts should be checked when the body is under pressure. All connecting pins must have split pins and must be fully opened.
Regularly check all wires and cables of the scissor lift for damage. Timely replacement is required.
The control box and distribution box of the scissor type elevator should be kept clean regularly, and the dust on the electrical equipment should be cleaned timely.
The contact opening and closing of the travel switch of each safety device of the scissor lift must be reliable.
Each moving part of the hydraulic scissor lift needs to be filled with appropriate lubricating oil to extend the service life of the bearings.
Pay attention to the oil quality and oil level of the scissor lift. When the lifting platform is fully raised, the hydraulic bottom should be 40-50 millimeters higher than the bottom of the box. If any foreign objects such as dark, sticky, or gravel are found in the hydraulic oil, they should be replaced timely.
Check all hydraulic oil pipes and joints of the scissor lift. The oil pipe must not be damaged, and the joints must not be loose. All joints must be tightened.
Check for oil in the piston rod and transparent plastic vent pipe of the scissor lift cylinder. If there is too much fluid, the seals of the cylinder may fail or the oil tank may be too full.
