A Scissor Lift is a type of mechanical platform used to provide temporary access to heights. It uses a crisscrossing “scissor” mechanism that extends and retracts, allowing the platform to rise vertically. Scissor lifts are commonly used in construction, maintenance, warehousing, and other industries where workers need to reach elevated areas. They can be powered by electricity, diesel, or hydraulics, and come in various sizes and weight capacities. Some key features include safety rails, adjustable heights, and the ability to work in tight spaces or on uneven terrain (depending on the model).
