Types of Scissor Lift

Hydraulic Scissor Lifts

Hydraulic scissor lifts are powered by hand-operated or engine-driven hydraulic systems. The changing pressure of the hydraulic oil in the machine helps to operate the lift and move the platform up and down. Since a hydraulic scissor lift is relatively easy to operate, users aren’t required to undergo much training, making it a simple option when you have lifting needs.

Diesel Scissor Lifts

Diesel scissor lifts are among the most commonly used lifts on construction sites. Their signature cross-braced system allows them to reach a height of 30 feet, with advanced models extending as high as 60 feet.

Electric Scissor Lifts

Electric scissor lifts are another popular aerial platform machine. An alternative to burning fuel, electric scissor lifts feature a silent, powered drive mechanism. Since they do not emit fumes or noise, electric scissor lifts provide a cleaner solution for indoor spaces, which often have insufficient ventilation.

Pneumatic Scissor Lifts

Pneumatic scissor lifts use air pressure as their lifting mechanism. Compared to traditional lifts, this lift does not emit hazardous fumes or by-products into the environment, making it a more sustainable option for companies looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

Applications of Scissor Lift

● Utility line installation: Scissor lifts provide a stable and elevated platform for technicians to safely install utility lines, like electrical wires or communication cables. The lift's height and stability allow workers to reach elevated positions and work efficiently.
● Utility repairs: When utility lines require maintenance or repairs, a scissor lift enables technicians to access the problem area quickly. They provide a secure working platform, ensuring workers’ safety while performing repairs on overhead utility infrastructure.
● Window installation: Scissor lifts are used to lift window installers to the appropriate height. They offer a stable and spacious platform for workers to handle and install windows accurately and securely, especially in multi-story buildings.
● Window cleaning: For buildings with high windows, scissor lifts are an ideal solution for window cleaning. They allow window cleaners to reach great heights while having the stability and mobility required to clean windows effectively and safely.
● Signage installation: Scissor lifts provide a stable platform for installing signs, whether they are on the sides of buildings or high above ground.
● Tree trimming: In landscaping and tree maintenance, scissor lifts are used to access branches high in trees. This makes it easier for arborists and landscapers to trim, prune or remove branches safely and efficiently.
● Concrete repair: Scissor lifts are used in concrete repair projects to access elevated areas of structures. Workers can reach damaged or deteriorated concrete surfaces for repairs, ensuring the structural integrity of the building.
● Pressure washing: Scissor lifts are equipped with power outlets, allowing workers to operate pressure washers at elevated heights. This is especially useful for cleaning the exteriors of tall buildings and removing dirt, grime and debris.
● Overhead painting: When painting ceilings, walls or other overhead surfaces, scissor lifts offer a stable and adjustable platform for painters. They can easily reach high areas while maintaining precise control over their painting equipment.
● Overhead plastering/texturing: Similar to painting, scissor lifts assist in plastering or texturing overhead surfaces. They provide a comfortable and secure platform for workers to apply materials evenly and efficiently.
● Cladding repair: Scissor lifts are essential for repairing building cladding or facade elements. They allow workers to access elevated sections of the building's exterior, ensuring that cladding repairs are carried out safely and accurately.
● Fire sprinkler installation: Installing fire sprinkler systems on high ceilings or walls can be challenging without the assistance of scissor lifts. These lifts offer a stable platform for workers to install and maintain fire sprinkler systems.

Scissor Lift Safety Precautions

● Only reposition the lift while it is in the lowered position.
● Operate scissor lifts on level ground and check for obstacles before use.
● Require personnel to wear proper safety equipment, such as a helmet.
● Frequently inspect the lift’s railing to make sure it is secure and stable.
● Never allow personnel to lean over or out of the gated work platform.

Step-by-Step Process for How to Install a Scissor Lift

Assembling the scissor lift

● Read the manufacturer's installation instructions and ensure you have all the necessary components, tools, and equipment.
● Start by assembling the base frame according to the provided specifications, following the step-by-step instructions. This usually involves connecting the main structure, cross braces, and stabilizers.
● Attach the scissor arms or mechanisms to the base frame, ensuring they are properly aligned and securely fastened.
● Install the platform or working platform onto the scissor arms, ensuring it is correctly positioned and attached using the recommended bolts or fasteners.
● Assemble any additional components, such as guardrails, control panels, or safety features, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Ensuring stability and safety

● Position the scissor lift on a level ground surface, verifying that all four corners of the lift are in contact with the ground.
● If necessary, use leveling devices (such as a level or laser level) to ensure the scissor lift is balanced and not tilted.
● Securely anchor the scissor lift to the ground using the appropriate methods recommended by the manufacturer. This may involve using anchor bolts, steel plates, or other stabilization means.
● Activate stabilizing mechanisms, such as outriggers or jacks, if provided, to further enhance stbility during operation.
● Regularly inspect and maintain the stability and grounding mechanisms throughout the lifetime of the scissor lift.

Connecting power and controls

● ldentify the electrical connection points on the scissor lift, typically located on the control panel or motor assembly.
● Ensure a suitable power source is available and compatible with the scissor lift's electrical requirements (e.g., voltage, phase, frequency).
● Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connecting power cables to the appropriate terminals or connectors, ensuring proper grounding procedures are followed.
● Exercise caution when working with electricity, wearing appropriate PPE, and adhering to electrical safety guidelines.
● Test the power connection and controls to ensure they are functioning correctly.

FAQ

Q: Do scissor lifts need to be inspected?

A: Employers must regularly maintain scissor lifts to ensure that they are safe to use (e.g., prevent the lifting mechanism from collapsing). Manufacturer's maintenance and inspection instructions will generally include how to: Test and inspect controls and components before each use.

Q: Do scissor lifts need keys?

A: To start the lift, insert the key into the ignition. Insert your key next to the large red button on the control panel's ignition. The lift will start when you turn the key to the right. It's important to note that the box with the joystick inside the lift is the control panel.

Q: Do you need a spotter for a scissor lift?

A: Spotters offer a vital line of defence to scissor lift operators. With unobstructed views of work zones, spotters can help to identify hazards from the ground once scissor lifts are in use. They can also provide timely assistance if an incident occurs.

Q: What is the lifespan of a scissor lift?

A: Electric scissor lifts can last 10 to 15 years, while diesel and rough terrain models typically last 7 to 10 years. Battery life for electric lifts is generally 3 to 5 years.

Q: What is the wind speed for a scissor lift?

A: Scissor lifts are rated for either 0 m/s or 12.5 m/s (28 mph) of wind, for indoor (0 m/s wind) or outdoor (up to 12.5 m/s of wind) use.
