Scissor Lifts - and which are best for your project?

When it comes to aerial work platforms, Scissor Lifts are among the most popular and versatile options available. Two types of scissor lifts that are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and other industries are the Electric Slab Scissor Lift and the Rough Terrain Scissor Lift. In this post, we will explore the differences between these two types of lifts and the projects they are each best suited for.

Electric Slab Scissor Lift

An electric slab scissor lift is a type of scissor lift that is designed for use on flat, level surfaces such as concrete floors. These lifts are powered by rechargeable batteries and are typically smaller and more compact than rough terrain scissor lifts. They are also quieter and produce no emissions, making them ideal for indoor use.

Electric slab scissor lifts are commonly used for tasks such as electrical work, HVAC installations, painting, and maintenance in buildings such as offices, schools, and hospitals. They are also useful for tasks that require precise positioning and movement, as they have a lower risk of shaking or bouncing when compared to rough terrain lifts.

 

Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

Rough terrain scissor lifts, as the name suggests, are designed for use on uneven or rough terrain. These lifts are larger and heavier than electric slab scissor lifts and are equipped with all-terrain tires, making them suitable for use on dirt, gravel, and other types of outdoor terrain. They are also equipped with powerful engines that allow them to move quickly and smoothly over rough terrain.

Rough terrain scissor lifts are commonly used in construction and outdoor maintenance projects, such as building bridges, repairing roofs, and painting the exterior of buildings. They are also useful for tasks that require high reach, as they can typically reach heights of up to 50 feet.
