How to Choose the Right Scissor Lift

Platform Height & Capacity

  • Determine the maximum working height you need your scissor lift to reach and the combined weight of workers, tools and materials the platform must carry
  • Scissor lift rentals move straight up and down, so confirm that vertical height alone allows you to reach your project without needing horizontal reach
  • Choose the platform size and capacity with headroom for your crew and materials to avoid overloading

Indoor vs. Outdoor Application

  • Identify whether you're working indoors on smooth, level floors or outdoors on rough or uneven terrain
  • Electric scissor lifts are compact and non-marking for indoor use, while rough-terrain scissor lifts use larger tires and 4-wheel drive for outdoor sites
  • Match the lift type to your surface to avoid instability or restricted access through doorways and aisles

Site Access & Power Source

  • Confirm doorway widths, aisle clearances and floor load limits, since scissor lifts are heavier and less maneuverable than boom lifts in tight spaces
  • Choose electric power for quiet, emissions-free indoor operation, or engine-powered units for extended outdoor use
  • Verify site access and power source together to ensure smooth setup and operation

Do you need a license to operate a scissor lift?

United Rentals offers training and certifications for scissor lift operation in the U.S. and Canada through our United Academy program.

Is a harness required when using a scissor lift?

OSHA and the CSA do not require harnesses to be used when operating a scissor lift as long as the lift's guardrails are functioning properly and locked. However, some companies or manufacturers require workers to wear harnesses for additional safety when operating scissor lifts. Verify your company's fall protection requirements before operating a scissor lift.
