Haulotte Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts Arlington

Industrial lifts have traditionally been utilized in production and manufacturing settings to help lift and lower supplies, workers, and goods. The scissor lift, also known as a table lift, is an industrial lift that has been modified for retail and wholesale environments.



Most customers who have been shopping in a store late at night have almost certainly seen a scissor lift, even if they do not know they have. Essentially, the scissor lift is a platform with wheels that performs like a lift truck. In a non-industrial environment, the scissor lift is great for completing tasks which need the speed or mobility and transporting of materials and people above ground level.



The scissor lift is unique, able to hoist workers straight up into the air. Instead, the scissor lift platform rises when the folding and linked supports underneath it draw together, making the equipment stretch upward. Once the equipment is extended, the scissor lift reaches around from 6.4 to 18.8 meters or 21 to 62 feet above ground. This depends on the size of the unit and the purpose.



The rough terrain scissor lifts could either be powered by an electric motor or by hydraulics, however, it could be a bumpy ride for the worker in the lift going to the top. The design of the scissor lift keeps it from traveling with a constant velocity, rather than traveling slower with more extension or traveling faster during the middle of its journey.



A really common class of scissor lift is the RT or Rough Terrain class. Typical features of the RT models comprise increased power due to the IC or internal combustion engine. The variations come in petrol, gas, combinations or diesel. This is needed to handle the increased weights and steeper grades of 18 to 22 degrees which are usually associated with this specific class of scissor lift.
