If an upcoming job requires you to work off the ground, consider renting a scissor lift. It lifts people or materials to a set height, and it is useful for many tasks, such as painting the outside of a tall building. Many construction companies need scissor lifts only at certain stages of a project, which is why renting makes sense.
Aerial work platforms come in many sizes and are powered by electricity or fuel. Smaller models suit light work, while larger models are used on maintenance and construction sites to carry people or pallets of materials to different heights. Some units include generator and air compressor outlets, so crews can run power tools on the platform.
Most aerial work platforms have two control panels: one at the base and one on the platform. If power fails, operators can use an emergency release to lower the platform smoothly to the ground. If the person on the platform is injured, the operator on the ground can bring them down and get medical help. This lets two people work together safely.
Scissor lifts have height and weight limits, and operators usually need specific training. Ask about both when you request quotes, and explain what the job involves so the rental company can match the right machine. Scissor lifts are less common than standard vehicles, so plan your rental early.
