About Diesel Scissor Lifts
Diesel scissor lifts are more heavy duty than their electric counterparts with higher lifting capacity and maximum height limits for the same footprint which matters in constricted work sites. However, they are also generally larger to allow for four wheel drive and larger platforms for more rugged and heavy duty access equipment applications. Typically they are used outside and in rough terrain whereas electric scissor access lifts are better suited for indoor use.
In general, scissor lifts are a type of MEWP (mobile elevated work platform) aka AWP (aerial work platform). The raising mechanism consists of a series of support struts linked in a pantograph arrangement. Imagine a number of pairs of scissors with blade tip linked to handle and you’ll have an idea of how it works – and that of course is how it gets its name.
