Download the Scissor Lift Inspection Checklist👈

Scissor Lift is a piece of equipment used mostly in-door for example warehouses, offices, godowns, indoor ceiling construction work, indoor maintenance as well as used for outdoor work as well as height. It is used to move equipment, tools, personnel vertically up and down.

It can reach up to a height of 50ft. The equipment is mounted on a moveable platform, can be moved from location to location. The working platform is installed with scissor legs, attached to hydraulics. The moment, the operator activates the hydraulics, the reservoir pushes the air or fluid into cylinders pushing the scissor legs to open outward and raise the scissor platform in the air.

Since the working platform is used to work at height, the work platform is installed with guard rails and toe boards. The guard rails are also provided with an anchorage point to attach the harness/ safety belt as well a toeboard is used to prevent the fall of rolling objects and tools.

As the scissor lift makes the job easy, it also poses serious hazards to the operator, workers, and people working nearby. Morally and by law it is obligatory, the equipment should be in good condition, well maintained, fit for the job, inspected before activity commencement.
