There are a number of reasons your workers may need to leave the ground from time to time. It could be to handle necessary repairs or maintenance in your building or outside of it. In a warehouse, they may regularly need to do so in order to reach inventory that’s simply out of reach. Whatever, the reason, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to do this than with a Skyjack scissors lift.
A scissors lift is a work platform that is moved up and down thanks to struts that resemble a collection of giant scissors.
They’re easy to operate, with the worker in the platform handling the controls. This means all it takes is one of your employees to drive the scissor and then elevate themselves up to the desired height.
Traditionally, you would need a ladder to do this, but that’s far from ideal. For one thing, a ladder is only going to allow your worker to bring so much up or down, whether we’re talking about tools, products or anything else.
Furthermore, the higher up you go, the less safe a ladder becomes. There are no safety precautions once a worker gets to the top and they need someone holding it steady below or they could risk the ladder falling over on its own.
Depending on the job, some companies may use scaffolding. This isn’t an efficient option, though. Scaffolds can’t simply be prepared on demand and there’s the concern about ensuring they’re built safely each time.
Scissor lifts are fast and safe, even if multiple workers want to board the platform at once. They’re also very affordable, especially if you look into Skyjack rentals from Ri-Go.
