SCISSOR LIFT HIRE FAQS
What type of Scissor Lift do I need?
The right scissor lift depends on the working height you need, whether the job is indoors or outdoors, the available access and the surface you’ll be working on. If you’re unsure, contact the Horsley Hire team and we can help you choose the most suitable option.
What information do I need before hiring a Scissor Lift?
Before hiring a Scissor Lift, it’s important to know the platform height you need to reach, where the lift will be used and the type of surface it will be operating on, for example, a flat concrete surface, paved area or other ground conditions. You should also consider whether the job is indoors or outdoors and how much access space is available. Providing these details will help the Horsley Hire team recommend the most suitable scissor lift for your job.
Can scissor lifts be used Indoors and Outdoors?
Yes. Scissor lifts can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications, depending on the model and site conditions. Electric scissor lifts are particularly well suited to indoor work due to their quiet operation and compact design, while other models may be better suited to outdoor use. The best option will depend on factors such as access, ground conditions, working environment and the height required.
Can Scissor Lifts be used in tight or restricted access areas?
Yes. Some Scissor Lifts are specifically designed with a compact footprint to make them easier to manoeuvre through tighter or restricted access areas. Access requirements vary between models, so it’s important to consider doorways, entry points and the available working space when choosing a lift. If you’re unsure, the Horsley Hire team can help you choose the most suitable option for your site.
What are Scissor Lifts commonly used for?
Scissor lifts provide a stable elevated work platform for jobs that require safe access at height. They are commonly used for maintenance, electrical and installation work, signage, warehouse tasks, fit-outs and other jobs where elevated access is required.
What is the difference between Electric and Diesel/Electric Scissor Lifts?
Electric scissor lifts are a great option for indoor work and areas where quieter operation is preferred. Diesel/electric models provide greater flexibility for jobs requiring different operating environments. The best option will depend on where and how the lift will be used.
Do I need a licence to operate a Scissor Lift?
A High Risk Work Licence is generally not required to operate a scissor lift. However, operators still need to be properly trained and competent in the safe use of the equipment before operating it. Some worksites may also have their own training requirements, so these should always be checked before use.
What should I consider before hiring a Scissor Lift?
Before hiring a scissor lift, consider the working height you need, whether the job is indoors or outdoors, the available access to the work area and the ground or surface conditions. Providing these details when you contact Horsley Hire will help our team recommend the most suitable scissor lift for your job.
