ZOOMLION scissor lifts raise workers to areas directly above them through a scissor mechanism that extends beneath the work platform. They are used on construction sites and for building maintenance, painting, lighting maintenance, roof installation, HVAC service, and warehouse work. In comparison to boom lifts, scissor lifts generally have a larger work platform and a higher platform capacity so several people can take their tools and materials up to the same working area. Since a scissor lift raises its platform straight up, it needs enough space on the ground directly below the work area to get into position and operate.

ZOOMLION offers electric scissor lifts for warehouses, commercial buildings, and other indoor sites where noise and exhaust are a concern. For outdoor construction work, its engine-powered scissor lifts provide more power, and models equipped for rough terrain can move across unpaved or uneven ground.
