A scissor lift is a type of platform that can usually only move vertically. The mechanism to achieve this is the use of linked, folding supports in a criss-cross X pattern, known as a pantograp (or scissor mechanism). The upward motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the lowest set of supports, elongating the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically.
Because the scissor lift's scissor design makes it very stable during its lifting, the platform does not tilt, making it safer to operate. And it can be folded up when placed, taking up less space. The structure is also relatively simple, and the operation and maintenance are also very convenient. therefore, with the continuous upgrading of lift products, the scissor lift is still loved by the majority of customers.
But it also still has some defects, such as the slow lifting speed, the weight of the lift because of its material makes more weight, usually need to be equipped with auxiliary drive tools to move.
Vertical Mast Lift
Vertical mast lift is a kind of vertical transport equipment through mast structure and motor. It works by driving the hydraulic system or screw system through the motor to pushing the lifting platform up or down.
The vertical mast lift design is more compact, and the work place is more extensive. And can be quickly deployed, improve the work efficiency. But it also
has some defects, such as small load capacity, high maintenance requirements.
What’s the difference with them?
Although both vertical mast lifts and shear lifts are commonly used lifts, there are still some differences in their design, use, and operation:
lThe most intuitive is the difference in their appearance. Due to their
different design and structure, the vertical mast lift structure is more compact, so it is more light and clever, making the vertical mast lift more suitable for operation in a narrow space.
lIn terms of load and weight, because vertical mast lifts usually use
aluminum material, and shear lifts usually use steel material, so vertical mast lifts are lighter than shear lifts, and they are easier to move. But it also limits its load capacity will usually be lower than the shear lift.
lIn terms of operation and control, the vertical mast lift is simpler and the
control is more intuitive. Although the shear lift is also simple to operate, it may require more operation space and safety measures.

Whether you’re looking to rent or purchase an aerial lift, the first thing that must be accomplished is choosing the right lift for the job at hand. There are many different types of aerial lifts, like scissor lift, boom lift, mast lift and so on available on the market. How to choose the right lift?
If you’re an expert certified aerial operator you will have no problem deciding which type of aerial lift is right for the job, but if you’re new field, here are some of suggestion for you.
Scissor lifts have a base that is the same size as the work platform and are designed to lift personnel and their equipment vertically. Most modern scissor lifts come equipped with an extension deck that will allow a minimum of horizontal reach. Scissor lifts are typically available in platform heights that range from 15 to over 50 feet high.
Boom lifts are an excellent solution for hard-to-reach jobs and/or jobs that require considerable heights, delivering a stable and secure work platform. Boom lifts are typically available in platform heights that range from 30 to 135 feet high.
Also known as personnel lifts, these vertical elevating lifts are ideal for warehousing, stock-picking, inventory management, and general maintenance. Relatively light weight, compact and great when space is limited. They can increase your overall productivity. Available in self-propelled electric and push around options and are best used on a firm level surface such as a concrete floor.
Although there are slight variations, most aerial work platforms are similar in the way they are operated. When it comes to manufacturers the choice is like choosing between Ford and Chevy. It’s primarily a consumer preference, since all aerial lift manufactures have the responsibility of building lifts that meet global safety standard.
If the answer is inside, we will want to consider electric powered because of very low emissions, convenience and low cost.
If the answer is outside battery powered aerial lifts will be better.
If the lift is intended to be operated on a firm level surface like concrete floor, electric slab scissor lifts, electric articulating boom lifts or a vertical mast lift will be best suited for the task.
If the work to be performed is outside and on undulating terrain, an engine powered telescopic boom lift, engine powered articulating boom lift or rough terrain scissor lift would be best.
If there are obstacles that would prohibit the aerial lift from being positioned directly below the work site, a boom lift will be the right choice.
If the lift can be positioned directly under the work area so that elevating vertically allows personnel to access the work site, a scissor lift will be a safe choice.
This should be a simple question to answer. Once we determine the needed work height we can eliminate some of the choices.
All aerial lifts have a stated maximum platform lifting capacity. This can be found in the operator’s manual and on the data plate attached to the machine. Determine how many people will be needed to complete the job and what equipment the personnel using the aerial lift will need, then add up all estimated weight. The total number of pounds in the platform will help you determine which aerial lift is safe for your job.
After choose the most suitable aerial lift, your job will be finished more efficiently. If there are still questions, welcome to contact us, we could recommend the suitable lift for you.
