Working height, capacity, platform size, the route into the building and the charging arrangement: the five numbers that decide which electric scissor lift you should buy.
Stowed size, door opening, lashing points and batteries decide whether a machine reaches site intact. How our aerial platforms are packed, loaded and shipped.
Oil, seals and valves fail quietly while the machine keeps lifting. What to check every shift, weekly, monthly and annually on a cargo lift, scissor lift or boom lift.
A mezzanine is designed for distributed storage load, not for a 2.5 t lift standing on four anchor points. What the structure has to carry, how to check it, and what changes if the answer is no.
The weight of the goods is only half the calculation: the pallet truck, the stillage and an off-centre load all sit on the same deck. How to size a cargo lift from the heaviest trip rather than the average one.
No shaft, no machine room and a 300 mm pit: how a guide rail cargo lift carries goods between floors in an existing building, what the rails need from the wall, and how it compares with a freight elevator.
Machine width is only half the answer: stowed height, turning radius and floor loading all decide whether a platform reaches the job. Every width in our range, mapped against the doorways and goods lifts it will pass.
An articulated boom folds to reach over an obstacle; a telescopic boom extends straight for maximum height and radius. Both ranges with real reach figures, the two numbers that decide the choice, and where each machine is used.
Our 22 m electric and diesel boom lifts share the same chassis, reach and capacity – only the power unit differs. The five factors that decide running cost, where each option wins, and how to compare them honestly.
Racking work is decided by three measurements: top beam height, aisle width and where the work point sits. How scissor lifts, articulated booms and jib mast lifts compare, and the warehouse details people forget to check.
