Scissor lift rental

Scissor lift rental: Everything you need to know

Reach new heights safely with rentmas' selection of scissor lift rentals. These versatile machines provide a stable elevated platform, making them especially suitable for projects where vertical access is required. Scissor lifts offer the necessary elevation and stability to tackle maintenance, construction, or installation projects at various heights.

Is a scissor lift the right machine for my project?

A scissor lift is a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) that typically runs on wheels. The difference between low-level, medium, and high-rise scissor lifts is primarily defined by their maximum working height: these machines are categorized according to their vertical reach. Scissor lifts on the rentmas platform are characterized as elevating platforms with working heights ranging from 5 to 32 meters. Lifts with greater heights can be found in the boom lift and telehandler categories.

Make sure to choose the machine you need based on the conditions of your project site. For certain environments it may be advisable or obligatory to use an electric scissor lift rather than one that is diesel-powered.

Scissor lifts are compact and maneuverable, allowing operators to use them in confined spaces where larger aerial lifts can't access. Due to their design, these machines provide a larger platform area compared to boom lifts, accommodating more workers and materials. That said, they are limited to strictly vertical movement, unlike their horizontally capable counterpart, the boom lift.

For MEWPs that offer horizontal movement in addition to vertical reach, check out our range of telescopic boom lifts, articulating boom lifts, and bucket trucks. For increased versatility in more confined spaces, explore or selection of tracked spider lifts.

Scissor lifts can be equipped with various attachments that make a wide variety of tasks possible. The standard configuration typically includes a non-slip platform with guardrails.

Other common accessories include:

• Extension decks: For additional workspace
• Dual fuel or electric power: For indoor or outdoor use
• Rough terrain capabilities: For uneven surfaces
• Self-leveling stabilizers: For work on slopes
• Material racks: For carrying pipes, lumber, or other materials
• Power outlets: For using tools at height
