What Is a Scissor Lift?
A scissor lift is a type of powered access mobile elevated work platform that moves vertically. It gets its name from the crisscross lifting mechanism. These machines provide a flat, steady platform that can accommodate one or more workers, along with tools and materials. Unlike boom lifts or cherry pickers, scissor lifts are designed for up‑and‑down access rather than outreach. You’ll often see them in use for indoor jobs like electrical installations, mechanical maintenance, decorating, or stock handling, though outdoor models are also available for construction and façade work.
Why Rent a Scissor Lift?
Our scissor lift rent option gives you all the benefits of professional equipment without the cost and storage and maintenance commitment of owning it. Hiring with Mark One also gives you flexibility to match your job’s demands. It arrives ready to use and you get access to the latest models, kept in top condition.
Choosing the Right Model
Picking the right scissor lift depends on where you’ll be working and what access you need. For indoor jobs, electric models are often preferred as they produce no emissions and are compact enough to fit through standard doorways or narrow aisles. They also offer non-marking tyres, which protect sensitive floors. For outdoor use, diesel-powered rough terrain scissor lifts provide greater height and can handle uneven or sloped surfaces. You’ll also want to consider platform size, load capacity, and whether you need additional features like extending decks or drive-at-height capability. Every site is different, so the best choice depends on your working environment, the job height, and any space constraints. Our team can guide you through the options to make sure you get the right lift for your task.
