Raising the Bar: The Evolution of Scissor Lifts and Their Impact on Modern Industry

Scissor Lift

Scissor lifts are essential tools in industries across New Zealand, ranging from construction to warehousing. These versatile machines provide workers with safe and efficient ways to reach higher areas quickly, helping keep operations smooth and uninterrupted.

Lifts have evolved quite a bit over the years, and they continue to positively impact modern industries in New Zealand and the world. At Access Specialties, we offer a wide selection of scissor lifts, along with comprehensive services, so that you can find the right lift for you and keep it in fantastic working condition. Quality machinery can make your workspace safer and more productive, minimising both workplace incidents and downtime. 

How A Scissor Lift Can Impact Your NZ Facility Or Worksite

These lifts are mobile platforms that can be raised to higher levels, lifting workers and equipment so that they can work at heights. They are commonly used for tasks like electrical work, warehouse shelving and outdoor maintenance. 

To make the most of your new machinery, it’s best to analyse the kind of work your team performs every day or the aspects of your site itself. For instance, if you’re working outside, then a rough terrain scissor lift could be right for you because these hardy lifts can handle uneven surfaces with ease. On the other hand, compact scissor lifts are ideal for indoor use because they’re easier to maneuver. Electric lifts are an all-around good choice because they operate quietly and produce zero emissions. 

When choosing your new scissor lift, ask questions such as ‘What height do I need to reach?’ and ‘What kind of safety features should I prioritise?’ and consider other factors that are important for your site.

Make sure you research the machine you’re considering before purchasing it. When you choose our selection at Access Specialties, doing your research is easy because we include an informative PDF sheet for every one of the products we offer. Just click on a lift you’re interested in and download the PDF using the red ‘Download PDF’ button on the screen.

No matter the type or model, lifts offer a secure and reliable way to work at heights.

Common Questions To Ask Before Choosing Your Lift

Before you select your ideal scissor lift, you should ask yourself a few questions. Our team will be happy to discuss the following questions and more with you:

  • “What Height Do I Need To Reach?” Consider your operations – what heights do you need to reach? We can go through our available lifts and find those that can adequately reach where you need to.
  • “How Heavy Is The Machine?” Designed with precision and crafted from high-quality materials, these lifts strike the perfect balance in weight and functionality, ensuring they are neither bulky nor cumbersome while still providing robust support for various tasks.
  • “What Is The Platform Weight Capacity?” How much weight will you need your lift to carry? Think about team members, equipment and supplies that will be on the machine during your operations.
  • “Is This An Indoor Or Outdoor Rated Machine?” It’s essential to choose a machine that can do well in your environment. Indoor spaces often need lifts that are more compact and maneuverable, whereas outdoor sites generally benefit from lifts that can handle more rugged terrain and outdoor conditions.
