Imagine rolling through a standard doorway, tapping a button, and working at 25 feet within seconds. No balancing acts, no moving a ladder every few feet, just smooth, precise access. That is the everyday reality with electric scissor lifts, and it is why we at Above All Equipment are so big on them for indoor work.
The Problem With Ladders, The Advantage With Lifts
Indoor jobs like lighting, camera rigs, fire sprinkler work, and general warehouse tasks demand reach, stability, and efficiency. Ladders slow teams down and limit what you can safely carry or do at height. Electric lifts solve that. They are easier to use than a ladder, built for tight spaces, and surprisingly affordable across a range of sizes.
We help companies pick the right electric scissor lift that fits their doors, their work heights, and their budget. When you get the right machine, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
Designed To Fit Where You Work
Electric scissor lifts are engineered for indoor access and maneuverability:
- Fit through doors: Standard models roll through double doors, and the skinny models fit through single doors.
- Built for building clearances: They are designed to clear conventional doorways around 6 foot 6 inches.
- Extension decks: Most modern scissor lifts include a slide out deck that extends about three feet, giving you extra reach without repositioning the base.
These features make lifts ideal for warehouses, studios, offices, retail buildouts, and facility maintenance.
Reliable, Low Maintenance, Long Service Life
We like simple, low drama equipment. Electric scissor lifts are just that:
- Reliable performance for daily indoor tasks
- Low maintenance compared to more complex machines
- Long service life when cared for properly
Once you have one on site, the workflow upgrade is immediate. Crews move faster, jobs finish sooner, and access is safer and more consistent than with a ladder.
How Much Do Electric Scissor Lifts Cost
Prices vary by size and condition, but here is a helpful range:
- Roughly 6,000 to 30,000 dollars depending on model and specs
- A solid 19 foot scissor lift can often be found around 6,000 dollars if you keep your eyes open
- A 19 gets you to about 25 feet working height and still fits through doors
Right now we even have a batch of movie set black 19s priced around 5,300 dollars. Inventory changes quickly, so check aboveallequipment. com for current availability.
What Size Do You Need Indoors
Use these quick checks to narrow your choice:
- Know your working height: If you need to reach around 25 feet, a 19 foot scissor lift is a go to.
- Measure your doors: If you are limited to single doors, a skinny model will save headaches.
- Consider your task: Lighting, cameras, and sprinkler work benefit from the three foot extension deck for extra outreach.
- Plan your path: Confirm elevator clearances, door heights, and floor conditions in your building.
