The requirement of a Scissor Lift

If you’re looking for scissor lift hire Oldham, it is important to know what you’re hiring. If you are unsure about what scissor lifts are or how they function, carry on reading this section to find out everything you need to know about scissor lift hire Oldham.

A scissor lift is a piece of machinery made to lift equipment and personal in a vertical direction. Scissor lifts have the practically of scaffolding or a ladder, but with the extra safety of being stronger as well as being manually operated. Scissor lifts also come without the setup time of scaffolding or a tower.

There is a wide range of scissor lifts hire Oldham, each with a specialist area of usage. Most lifts are made of steel to provide strength. The main physical structures of scissor lifts are the platform and railings supported by a beam or bar structure. The way the bars hinge together makes the lift look like several sets of connected scissor blades, and as they operate, they perform an open-close motion similar to scissors. This is why they are called scissor lifts.

Scissor lifts can extend anywhere from 10-60 feet in the air depending on the make and model. Our scissor lifts have a working range of 15-40 feet. This means that we will have a scissor lift suitable for any of your working needs in Oldham. Some of our other aerial lifts (such as our Cherry Pickers or Boom Lifts) have a higher average working height, but they can’t carry as much weight as scissor lifts. So if you’re looking for a machine to carry extra personnel or resources, our scissor lifts are what you should be looking at.

Diesel Scissor Lift Hire Oldham

Diesel Scissor Lifts are some of the most powerful tools that we offer. These machines are built for tackling the most difficult of jobs. Typically used in outdoor settings, we hire out diesel scissor lifts for people who are working in rough terrain and who need something powerful and strong. Most of our models have an extended reach that reaches a maximum height of over 25 meters above ground level. They are more construction-oriented compared to our electric lifts so if you need to tackle a project outdoors, our diesel scissor lifts are for you.

We have over a dozen diesel scissor lifts for you to choose from, with models including Skyjack, Genie, JLG and more. Our big collection of diesel scissor lifts allow you to carefully choose the right machine for your task. 

Not sure which machine you need? Try our Platform Selector to match a machine up with your requirements.

Some of the key features of our diesel scissor lifts are the oscillating axle and self-levelling jacks. These features allow you to position the scissor lift any way you would like, making it easier to tackle your work. Some of our models offer extended platform features, which can add more to the load capacity of the machine. One of these models is the JLG 530LRT Diesel Scissor Lift. If you’re looking for models that can hold extra equipment or extra personnel, check out our range and see what we have to offer.

Electric Scissor Lift Hire Oldham

The other type of scissor life we offer is the Electric Scissor Lift. Contrary to diesel scissor lifts, the machines in our electric range are much better suited to more enclosed or indoor jobs. All electric lifts are mechanical, and an advantage of a mechanical lift is that the teeth of its gear system prevent the lift from slipping. This combined with the safety procedures our team puts in place means that we do everything we can to prevent any accidents once you hire one of our electric scissor lifts.

We have over 21 different electric scissor lifts for you to choose from. Some of the models in our range include JCB, Dingli and Holland Lift. Some of our electric scissor lift models are designed to have longer battery lives. With a single charge, the electric drive of a scissor lift is able to deliver more than twice the battery life of hydraulic lifts, making them ideal for indoor jobs that may take some time.

One of the big benefits of using electrical scissor lifts is the lack of emissions they produce. At APL, we are determined to help the environment by cutting down all emissions from our machines. By using electric scissor lifts, we are cutting down on both noise and air pollution. This is particularly important as our electric scissor lifts are primarily used indoors, leading to less disturbance and less harmful substances being released into the air.

Scissor Lift Hire Oldham Safety

At APL, we take pride in exceeding customers’ expectations in every area of safety. From Pre-Delivery Inspections to Daily Run-Ups and Tests, we’re strongly committed to safety within in scissor lift hire Oldham. We offer full LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections, as well as repairs and servicing to keep all machines up to date and in line with the current health and safety regulations. We will perform routine checks on our machines (every 6 months). We will also perform these checks on your own company scissor lifts to make sure that they are compliant with the Health and Safety at Work act of 1974

As well as carrying out inspections, we also put several measures in place to make every scenario you may find yourself in as safe as possible. One measure we have put in place to further increase safety is to print a QR LOLER code on all of our scissor lifts. These codes allow anyone who scans the scissor lift access to several safety features in the case of an emergency. We put these procedures in place to make sure that we stick to our health and safety guidelines at all times.

We always comply with the Working at Height Legislation from HSE and actively strive to reduce injuries in every work environment. Aerial Platforms Ltd can offer comprehensive training for both industry professionals and beginners alike. We make sure your workforce meets all health standards.

Whilst we are very proud of our health and safety records, we acknowledge that our customers may have some concerns when considering hiring one of our scissor lifts. We understand that our machines may look intimidating, especially to people who have never used them before. It may seem like there are many risks involved, especially with the diesel scissor lifts that are primarily used outdoors. These situations may naturally cause more concern as you may think that the weather will have an impact on the scissor lift.

Whilst we naturally cannot guarantee 100% safety with our machines, we can guarantee that we put every precaution in place to make sure our machines are as safe as possible.
