Classifications of Scissor Lifts & Aerial Lift Platforms
A scissor lift is made up of a series of crisscrossed steel arms which are connected to create an X pattern. When raised vertically, the X pattern of support holds the rectangular platform which is located on top of the lifting mechanism. There are support railings along the edges of the lifting mechanism to be able to keep the workers safe and help to secure their tools.

The scissor lift has a low profile, best used for smooth surfaces such as hard dirt surfaces, concrete and pavement. These equipment use either an electric motor or a combustion engine to be able to power the lifting mechanism and move the lift. The operator should move the lift itself if she or he has to travel horizontally, because the lift mechanism only operates the lift in a vertical way.

Rough Terrain Scissor Lift
The standard scissor lift and the rough terrain scissor lift use the same lifting technology. The main difference is that the rough terrain models feature a different base which is specifically made for uneven surfaces. These units also offer oversized all terrain tires and higher ground clearance. The rough terrain scissor lifts use 4-wheel drive in order to navigate through muddy and difficult terrain with no trouble.

Telescopic Boom Lift
The telescopic boom lift utilizes a telescoping beam that raises both vertically and diagonally. This specific model has a small work platform that houses controls to be able to control the boom. The controls work with a combustion engine so as to power the hydraulics which move the lift and power the boom. The telescopic boom lift is an independent lift unit and has off-road capable tires.

Articulating Boom Lift
There are two telescopic booms on the articulating boom lift. These are connected with a moving elbow mechanism. This lifting equipment has a small work platform or a bucket that is outfitted with hand controls to be able to control the boom. These are stand-alone lifts which are powered by a combustion engine. Articulating boom lifts are available with either off-road or hard surface tires. These lifts are made in order to reach on top of and over top of buildings.

Aerial Mast Lift
The aerial mast lift utilizes a telescopic mast so as to lift a work platform vertically into the air. Usually, these lifts are pneumatic powered or electrically powered and are self-propelled machinery. These machines provide an ideal solution for working in high racks within narrow warehouse aisles. It is important to bear in mind that aerial mast lifts are not recommended for off-road application and are limited to vertical movement.
