Features of Electric Scissor Lift Rentals

Electric scissor lifts are a vertical lift — they move straight up, rather than both horizontally and vertically. The small base size of two to 10 feet wide also makes electric scissor lifts useful for work in small spaces. Electric scissor lifts are battery-powered lifts designed to lift several people or large amounts of equipment, and they come with a variety of platform and working heights. The average heights tend to be between 10 feet and 60 feet, and workspace sizes are typically between two and 10 feet wide. Most electric scissor lifts weigh no more than a few thousand pounds, but the biggest and most powerful models weigh more than 10,000 pounds.

Scissor lifts are a popular choice to lift workers and equipment, despite their lack of horizontal movement. Certain models can lift up to 1,000 pounds. Electric scissor lift rentals don’t produce fumes and are safe to use indoors.
Our scissor lifts from leading lift manufacturers JLG, Genie and Hybrid have several standard features that keep your workers safe and help them finish jobs faster, including:

• Lanyard attachment points
• Descent alarm
• Manual lowering valve
• Tilt level sensor and alarm

Other options that are available include:

• Light kits
• All-wheel drive
• Folding rails
• And more

If you’re looking for an indoor lift that moves vertically and can carry multiple workers, then an electric scissor lift rental may be the right choice for your project.

Specialty Uses for Renting Electric Scissor Lifts

The standard electric scissor lift is commonly seen in small-scale applications and indoor construction sites. Small spaces and tight areas are perfect for the narrowly designed platform. The machine can be used for, but not limited to, maintenance, window washing and construction projects.

Electric scissor lifts are also often seen in warehouses, retail stores and production sites. Installation of hanging signs is also an ideal application for these lifts.

Benefits of Electric Scissor Lift Rentals

Compared to bucket lifts, electric scissor lifts offer more weight capacity. Electric scissor lifts also offer 90-degree steering, which factors in to their enhanced maneuverability.

Additionally, because the machines are battery-powered, no fumes are emitted — which is beneficial for indoor spaces.

Tasks that use scissor lifts vary, but can include:

• Maintaining structures
• Reaching warehouse shelves
• Cleaning gutters and windows
• Replacing light bulbs
• Repairing equipment

People choose to rent electric scissor lifts for different reasons. Some of the most common reasons for renting a scissor lift include:

• Seasonal maintenance
• Tasks in easy-to-reach and level work areas
• Projects that require lifting heavy materials or equipment
• Tasks that require lifting multiple workers
• Limited budget for operations

Lowering your maintenance and storage costs is another reason to rent a scissor lift. On average, electric scissor lifts can cost more than $24,000. If you’re only using it for short periods of time, it’s often more beneficial to rent.

What to Consider When Renting Electric Scissor Lifts

If you are looking to rent an electric scissor lift, consider the requirements of your project. Because scissor lifts offer more vertical height than horizontal space, be sure to plan accordingly.

Electric scissor lifts are ideal for indoor use, such as in a warehouse. If you are specifically renting an electric scissor lift for an indoor project, consider non-marking tires to prevent damage to floors.
