In the ever-evolving industrial and construction advances, heavy equipment is increasingly becoming an inseparable part of the success of big projects. Equipped with advanced features and robust tool resistance, work in the field or projects can be accelerated and optimized as much as possible using heavy equipment.
Just as there are many types of work in industrial projects, construction, manufacturing, and so on, of course, there is also heavy equipment that is present as a solution to make the job easier. If working in a warehouse is synonymous with the use of forklifts, then when working at heights, the scissor lift is one of the superior tools.
A scissor lift is a type of heavy equipment used to lift and lower loads vertically. This tool consists of two sets of stacks that are triangular and are connected by a hinge in the middle so that they resemble the shape of scissors. When raised, the platform on the scissor lift can reach the desired height. The system used by scissor lifts is hydraulic, which moves the pile and controls the height of the platform. This tool is often used in the construction industry, maintenance of facilities, stacking goods in warehouses, and jobs at heights that require safe access.
In industrial and construction work, the scissor lift functions to:
Scissor lifts are used to provide safe and stable access to hard-to-reach elevated areas, and allow workers to easily and safely perform maintenance, repair, or installation work at heights.
Scissor lifts are used in maintenance and repair work in industry, such as machine or equipment repairs, inspection of electrical or plumbing systems, maintenance of facilities, and so on that are at height.
In industrial and construction environments, scissor lifts can also be used to move goods and materials to high storage racks.
Scissor lifts are used in industrial installation work, such as the installation of lighting systems, cables, or other equipment.
Visual inspection or monitoring work in areas that are not easily accessible can be carried out using a scissor lift. Inspection of equipment, structures, or systems in industries such as the oil and gas industry, the shipping industry, or the telecommunications industry can be made easier by using a scissor lift.
Of the functions above, the scissor lift certainly also has various advantages when used in industrial and construction work, such as:
Jobs that require access to high areas certainly have risks. Scissor lifts are also designed with strong safety features such as platform locking systems, safety rails, and other safety devices, which maintain stability and prevent workers or machines from falling. With better protection, not only workers and operators, but the overall work environment will be safer.
Boasting a sturdy and stable construction, the scissor system or triangles that can be expanded and reduced on the scissor lift provide good stability when used in high areas, and allow workers to work more comfortably and efficiently.
Scissor lifts have a large lifting capacity and are capable of lifting or carrying heavy loads such as materials and other equipment. With a scissor lift, the work of lifting and moving materials on construction or industrial sites can be easier and faster.
Designed with the latest technology, this tool is easy to move around the work area. The wheels on the scissor lift can also be locked, so that when used and driven. The tool will be more stable.
Scissor lifts can certainly help improve work efficiency in industrial and construction work. With easier access to heights, workers can complete tasks more quickly and efficiently.
JLG Industries, Inc., is a leading pioneer in the manufacture of aerial work platforms and telescopic handlers (telehandlers). The company was founded in 1969 in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania, United States by the influential figure, John L. Grove. In the course of its history, JLG has changed the paradigm of the access and transportation industry worldwide.
The brand has established a strong name in the construction, industrial, and maintenance industries globally. It all started with John L. Grove's strong interest in entrepreneurship and engineering. In the late 1960s, Grove recognized the need for safer and more efficient methods of working at height. This is what prompted him to develop this type of work platform to new heights and eventually became the foundation for JLG Industries.
In 1973, the company introduced the scissor lift as one of their flagship products and their first product. With a robust design and high work flexibility, scissor lifts provide opportunities for workers to reach heights more safely and efficiently. In 2006, JLG Industries became part of the Oshkosh Corporation, a leading company in the manufacture of special vehicles and heavy equipment. Global support and additional resources from Oshkosh Corporation have given JLG Industries an edge in reaching international markets.
JLG Industries continues to maintain its reputation as a pioneer in the haulage and altitude access industry. JLG Industries' dedication to safety, efficiency, and quality has made it a trusted partner for professionals in various industrial sectors around the world.

A pothole in a scissor lift is a gap or hole formed on a scissor lift platform or work area. The pothole is usually located around the joint between the platform and the main frame of the scissor lift. When the scissor lift platform is in the down position or at a low level, the pothole can be seen as an open gap around the platform. Functioning as a security system, R1932 and R4045 are equipped with active pothole protection, so that
