Scissor lifts are common in industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse settings. While they are excellent for raising, lowering, and transporting loads, they present hazards and challenges in day-to-day operations, such as:
- Standard-size base frames take up valuable floor space
- Manually operated foot pedals may be placed above step height, which causes worker fatigue
- Platforms cannot always reach maximum heights as advertised
- Scissor mechanism may require tightening of fasteners, checking for hydraulic fluid leaks, or other maintenance and repair
- Pinch points pose a serious risk of cutting, severing, or crushing anything caught in the scissoring mechanism
