MACHINE GUIDE
CHOOSING THE RIGHT OPTION
Non-marking tyres and compact dimensions suit warehouses, retail and commercial interiors.
Working height, outreach, ground conditions, access width, power source and platform capacity should all be considered. Providing these details helps suppliers respond with more relevant equipment.
ELECTRIC SCISSOR LIFT SELECTION
HOW TO CHOOSE WITH MORE CONFIDENCE
Electric scissor lifts are commonly used where quiet operation and local exhaust emissions are important considerations, particularly in warehouses, retail, offices and other internal environments.
Electric power alone does not make a machine suitable for every indoor job. Platform size, working height, tyre type, floor loading, charging arrangements and access dimensions still need confirmation.
Machine specifications and operating limits vary by model. The responding supplier should confirm the final equipment selection against the task and site.
SELECTION FACTORS
DETAILS THAT CAN CHANGE THE MACHINE CHOICE
Charging
Consider the duration and availability of suitable charging arrangements for the project.
Access dimensions
Measure entrances, aisles, turning space and lift or loading restrictions where relevant.
Platform demand
People, tools and materials influence the platform requirement.
COMMON SELECTION MISTAKES
—Assuming electric means suitable for every internal floor
—Ignoring charging arrangements on longer hires
—Choosing a platform too small for the actual work process
