If you have high-level access problem, a scissor lift might be the right solution for you.
First of all, you need to know or be trained on how to operate the powered access equipment or find a professional operator to get the work done to avoid potential problems or any danger during operation.
A Scissor lift is a mobile motorized vehicle with a railed platform that can be raised straight up with criss crossing metal support beams that elongate as the platform is raised and are mounted on folding arms. A Scissor lift is used to work in high or difficult to reach elevated areas.
Work where you want and when you want with a proper training from Power Access.

Abide by the manufacturer guidelines
The manufacture of elevated work platforms and scissor lifts is a complex process and technology is always advancing. Manufacturers spend a lot of time and effort providing detailed operational guidelines, maintenance and instruction manuals. They also test the equipment continuously to ensure safe operational conditions and to recommend maximum load parameters.
Make sure to follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure the correct equipment is used in the best possible way to ensure each job can be completed safely, on time and on budget.
For example: the maximum number of operators allowed is one then abide by their specifications. If the maximum elevated platform capacity is 350kgs, make sure you do not exceed the maximum weight recommendations for each machine. If the equipment was intended to carry 400kg, the manufacturer would list the platform capacity with no additional room for error.
These are just a few safety tips to keep in mind when operating a scissor lift at optimal levels. A person who is well trained is the most important factor in working with scissor lift machines.
