What is a Scissor Lift?

A scissor lift is a raised work platform meant for working at height, often in tight spaces.

A typical scissor lift is a straight vertical lift that can rise up and down as needed, providing varied working heights on a range of job sites. Most are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, although some scissor lifts are designed purely for outdoor use.

As construction equipment in Blacksmith's Green, scissor lifts are a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor construction and maintenance. Unlike cherry picker units, a scissor lift requires very little space to operate and can work fine in narrow aisles or on smaller construction sites.

While scissor lifts are not suited for every outdoor construction task, they have become a staple of the construction industry. They are also often used as a facilities management tool, offering a way to carry workers and equipment to a range of working heights quickly.

Scissor Lift Hire Cost Blacksmith's Green

The cost of hiring scissor lifts can vary heavily based on the specific kind of scissor lift involved, but the average price ranges from £350 per week to £250 per day.

Scissor lifts come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, and even a basic straight vertical lift design can be worth twice as much as another similar scissor lift. Some factors that influence cost include:

  • Scissor lift size

  • Total weight capacity

  • Maximum working height

  • Safety at higher working heights

  • The efficiency of electric and diesel engines

  • Rough terrain capabilities

There can be many more factors that might bump up or reduce the scissor lift hire cost, and this often depends on the scissor lift itself. 

Our Blacksmith's Green team can provide a free price quote for any scissor lifts you are considering hiring and will work with each customer to help them find the ideal scissor lift for their budget.

Remember that different hire periods may also reduce scissor lift hire costs overall, making longer-term hires more affordable compared to multiple short-term scissor lift hire services.

Scissor Lift Hire Benefits

Scissor lifts are a simple piece of equipment, but they are also incredibly versatile and popular - and for a good reason. Scissor lifts can provide a range of benefits that other working height platforms cannot and are often suited to a range of roles on a single site.

Whether you are looking for a specific scissor lift model or are just looking for any scissor lifts that match your general requirements, finding good scissor lifts is important.

Our Blacksmith's Green scissor lift options can provide multiple major benefits: both benefits specific to each scissor lift model and general benefits that all scissor lifts offer over other equipment.

Storage and Stacking

Scissor lifts are perfect for stacking equipment and supplies. As a vertical platform, they can often work well for stocking large shelves that other tools cannot reach.

Scissor lifts are compact and allow for an adjustable working height, making them a key part of many storage spaces.

Transport Use

Scissor lift units can be used to transport equipment and supplies between building storeys, aiding in the construction of multi-story buildings.

Even when used for indoor work, this can allow important tools to be moved higher in spaces where scaffolding is the only other option.

Productivity

Scissor lift units are simple and effective, enabling direct movement between working heights in Blacksmith's Green. This makes them ideal for any situation where working heights are relevant, all while taking barely any effort to use.

This can boost productivity and cut down on the time it would take to use a more complex working height platform.

Reliability

Scissor lifts are often quite straightforward, meaning that there are fewer parts that can fail. This also makes them better for situations where reliability is important.

We keep all of our scissor lifts in the best possible condition, trying to ensure that customers never need to call for a replacement or emergency repairs.

Types of Scissor Lifts

In general, there are two kinds of scissor lift to consider: electric and diesel.

While these may still function in generally the same way, there are some notable differences between the two that make the choice important. 

Remember that some scissor lifts in Blacksmith's Green offer hybrid engines, getting the benefits of both depending on which engine you use. However, most are limited to one specific engine.

Electric Scissor Lifts Blacksmith's Green

Electric scissor lifts are ideal for operating indoors and in tight spaces outdoors, providing an effective carry capacity and working height potential without any dangerous emissions.

When used indoors, these emissions-free electric scissor lifts do not put workers in any danger, making them ideal for facilities management roles or use for indoor repairs and construction work.

While electric units are meant as indoor lifts thanks to their electric engine, electric scissor lifts can also work well for outdoor roles. 

Electric scissor lift units are usually still equipped with the same weight capacity and working height limits as similar diesel models but are powered using emissions-free energy.

Diesel Scissor Lifts Blacksmith's Green

While a diesel scissor lift produces emissions and electric scissor lifts, do not, diesel scissor lift units are also more effective for use on rough terrain or in outdoor spaces. 

A diesel scissor lift can be refuelled instantly thanks to the diesel engines, and often reach their max lift/working height faster.

This also means that many diesel scissor lift units have a greater working height range, as well as a greater weight capacity. 

A Blacksmith's Green diesel scissor lift can also be more robust overall and is usually more practical in remote spaces where electric scissor lifts would struggle to find a power source.

Of course, the diesel scissor lift engine means that a diesel scissor lift cannot be safely used indoors. 

Unlike electric scissor lifts that can work for both indoor and outdoor use, a diesel scissor lift generally can't be used indoors without risking harm to workers.

Bi-Fuel Scissor Lift Blacksmith's Green

Bi-fuel scissor lift units combine the best of diesel scissor lift and electric scissor lift units. The engine can adapt to use either fuel source, making it good for varied purposes. 

Many of these are used as both a facilities management tool and an outdoor site tool, depending on the situation.

While bi-fuel models can still be less efficient than some dedicated diesel scissor lift units or electric scissor lift options, they provide a good compromise between electric and diesel engines.

This makes them a popular choice to hire if you need a scissor lift that can operate in multiple locations or conditions.

Many of these units are designed to be compact for indoor work and tight spaces but also boast good working height potential and a heavy weight capacity. 

These features are not available on every model, but a good bi-fuel scissor lift hire can be incredibly useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working height of a scissor lift?

Working height refers to any height where a person could be injured if they fall while working. 

Most scissor lift options use a variable working height, meaning that the unit can be set to any working height between its base form and its full height.

Maximum working height is usually important. The maximum working height tells you the tallest possible working height that a scissor lift can reach. 

The higher the maximum working height, the more flexibility you have over the working height - although the unit may be less compact as a result.

Can a scissor lift be used for indoor work?

A diesel scissor lift should never be used indoors since diesel scissor lift engines produce emissions that can harm - or even suffocate - workers. 

Diesel scissor lift options are best used outdoors on rough terrain, where electric scissor lift units would not be any good.

For tight spaces or indoor use, an electric scissor lift is best. An electric scissor lift produces no emissions, and the electric scissor lift engine is also usually much quieter overall. 

Many electric scissor lift units are also more compact than diesel options, making them great for indoor maintenance.

What features matter most on a scissor lift?

Features like non-marking tyres and rough terrain capabilities are important for many scissor lift units, including indoor electric scissor lift hire options.

A typical diesel or electric scissor lift is going to be used for maintenance and construction in various spaces, so features like a compact body or high maximum working height are useful overall. Excellent manoeuvrability is one feature that is almost always necessary.

Elements like easy maintenance or bi-fuel-powered engines are also desirable but not always a requirement for making them work well. 

Non-marking tyres are a good example - they are useful for electric scissor lift units used indoors but not necessarily for ones used in rough terrain.
