Self-Propelled Scissor Lift
An advanced aerial work platform (AWP), specifically designed to provide operators with full mobility and elevation control, from the basket. When fully lifted, the electric/hydraulic drive system can be used to lift, steer and raise the lift. This allows the machine to be lowered and moved by hand without the need to lower and move the machine; helping to speed up maintenance, installation and construction in both indoor and outdoor locations.
Purpose and Application
Self-Propelled Scissor Lifts are mobile, safe and the quick solution to scaffolding and manual ladders issues, to provide a high-reach workspace at any moment, anywhere. They can be used to move workers without disrupting work processes on overhead installations.
Key Applications:
- Facility Maintenance & Electrical Works:Commercial building overhead lighting replacement, cable tray positioning, HVAC duct installation, and piping maintenance.
- Warehouse & Logistics Centers:High level audits, sprinkler system repairs and inspections of narrow aisle structure.
- Construction & Building Fit-Outs:Hanging dry walls, installing ceiling grid, painting, architectural facade detailing.
- Industrial Manufacturing:Machinery set up, inspection of overhead crane, and regular assembly line maintenance.
Design and
Operation
- Integrated Drive & Lift System:Heavy duty DC electric motors drive the drive wheels directly for instant drive response, adjustable speed travel and zero inside turn steering.
- Dual Control Consoles:2 ground control panels with one for emergency override and a second for a complete proportional drive, steer and elevation control top level joystick console.
- Automatic Pothole Guards:Devices which automatically lower the platform when raised to increase platform ground clearance to reduce tip-over dangers on bad ground.
- Proportional Control System:Advanced electronic joystick controls offer smooth acceleration, high level of accuracy when approaching delicate structures and gentle braking.
Production & Quality Assurance
Precision Chassis & Scissor Fabrication: A group of precision laser cutting & robot welding arms (Q345B high strength steel) guarantees high precision, maximum structural stiffness and no flex at the highest elevation.
Shot-Blasting & Powder Coating Finish: The parts are then shot-blasted and pre-painted with multiple layers of epoxy and then finished with a tough long-lasting electrostatic powder.
Electrical & Hydraulics Assembly: Wiring-harnesses, hydraulic manifolds, battery banks and proportional control modules are assembled in clean-line facilities, and are tightly dust and moisture proof (IP65 standard).
Conclusion
Self-Propelled Scissor Lift is an advanced aerial work platform (AWP) that eliminates the need for scaffolding and ladders for tasks requiring high reach and is significantly safer and more productive. It incorporates dual-control proportional joysticks, built-in DC electric drive systems, and adjustable mobility at maximum elevation, allowing the operator to position and relocate the basket without lowering it, thereby speeding up overhead operations indoors and outdoors. Constructed using precision laser-cut Q345B steel, the electrical components are IP65 rated, the operators are protected by automatic pothole guards, and 125% overload stability testing has been performed, this versatile machine ensures the operators are kept safe, will last for years and is incredibly stable during facility maintenance, warehouse inspections, and construction fit-outs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a self-propelled scissor lift be driven while fully elevated?
Yes. Steering, driving and moving the unit from the upper basket while the operator is in it, without having to lower the unit and manually move the lift between tasks.
How do automatic pothole guards improve operator safety?
When raised, mechanical pothole guards automatically drop down to lower the platform to the ground, thereby minimizing tip over risks on potholes, particularly if they are on a depression in the ground.
What applications are best suited for self-propelled scissor lifts?
They are perfect for overhead applications like electrical and HVAC maintenance, warehouse sprinkler audits, drywall/ceiling construction fit-outs, and overhead crane inspections.
