Have you ever wondered what all those numbers in the names of scissor lifts mean? You’re not alone!

Scissor Lifts Brand Names

With the most popular brands like Genie, Skyjack, JLG, the number in the names of the scissor lifts relates to the width and the height of the machine. Generally, the first two numbers are the platform height, whereas the last two numbers are the width of the machine.

Take the Genie GS 1930 scissor lift, for example, it has a 19-foot height and is 30 inches wide.

However, some brands such as Skyjack reverse the numbers and put the width first and the height second.

Working Height

Always make sure to keep in mind that the working height on these scissor lifts is going to be about 6 feet more than the height of the machine.
