Definition: What is a Scissor Lift?



A motorized vehicle with a working platform that can be raised straight up is known as a scissor lift. Criss-crossing metal supports that extend as the platform is Up -Down are the basic feature of scissor lifts that distinguishes them visually from other equipment used to work in higher elevations.

The electric- or Hydraulic-powered Pack platform that is mounted on folding arms is used to provide elevated work areas or to help raise or lower unit loads.

The objective is to access hard-to-reach areas in order to perform whatever work is required. Scissor lifts provide a mobility means of reaching areas that are very high. In the materials handling industry, these include tops of racks.

These machines vary in size. Small lifts, four feet wide, are often used to help navigation within and between tight isles inside go-downs.

Scissors lifts allow workers to work at areas high above ground level without any concern for a


balance that they would have to exercise if they were using a staircase.

One of the basic safety rules forklift operators and users of scissor lifts to move the machine while the platform is in the up position.

Scissor lift

  Scissor lift Scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevated work platform (MWP), used to provide temporary access to heights. They are usually used for temporary maintenance purposes and for construction work. Charles Larson of the United States patented the first scissor lift in 1963, but he did not invent it. It was invented by John W. Parker of California.   Unlike some other types of elevated platforms, scissor lift platforms can only move vertically, enhanced by folding support, attached to an ‘X’ pattern known as a pantograph. Pressure is applied to the outer side of the set of lowest supports, which increases the cross-crossing support and extends the platform.   Scissor lifts are usually diesel-powered. The platform will be lowered without the use of a power system except for hydraulic or pneumatic pressures.   A section can be placed on the outside to allow the platform to move as close to the required area as there is a limit to th

  Telescopingconveyor drive system Abstract An extensible conveyor device is disclosed, comprising a fixed conveyor section, an extensible movable conveyor section relative to the fixed conveyor section, and a moving assembly configured to move the movable conveyor section relative to the fixed conveyor section. The moving assembly is attached to the second conveyor section and engages with the teeth of the first conveyor section to move with respect to the plurality of teeth attached to the first conveyor section. It is provided with a tooth engaging device configured in. The system for moving the first elongated structure relative to the second elongated structure is configured to attach to the second elongated structure with a plurality of substantially linearly arranged teeth for attaching to the first elongated structure. Includes a tooth engagement device. Includes a chain loop that engages the teeth such that the rotation of the loop moves the first elongated structure re
