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

Verify your company's fall protection requirements before operating a scissor lift.
