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.

Most Popular Scissor Lifts

There are so many different brands and models of scissor lifts on the market, but Above All Equipment Sales always has the most popular brands and sizes when it comes to aerial lifts, especially scissor lifts!

Our bread and butter scissor lifts are:

  • 1930 = 19′ platform / 30″ wide
  • 3246 = 32′ platform / 46″ wide
  • 3226 = 26′ platform / 32″ wide (SKYJACK)

Is it Worth it to Rent a Scissor Lift, Boom Lift, or Telehandler?

Again, this depends on your situation. If you’re renting a lift for a short, one-time job, then renting is the way to go. However, if you are constantly renting equipment, then it might be time to invest in your own! Check out the pros and cons here.

Telehandlers vs. Forklifts

Many times, people can mistake a forklift for a telehandler and vice versa. While these two machines both help you lift and lower heavy items, they are not exactly the same.

The main difference is that a forklift can only move its arm up and down. Whereas a telehandler’s arm has much more reach in all directions. On a forklift, you would have to drive it to move the load to the left or right, but the boom on the telehandler can do that for you while your machine is stationary.

How Long Does It Take for a Scissor Lift to Charge?

Looking to charge a scissor lift? All scissor lifts are slightly different, but the main rule of thumb is allowing your scissor lift to charge for at least 6 hours before you can get the full life out of it the next day.

Scissor lifts are designed to be able to be used throughout the day and charged each night or every other night depending on usage.

It’s also important to keep in mind that your scissor lift is not meant to be driven for the full 8 or so hours of your workday. The battery is used when you are operating the machine, so when you’re driving it and when you’re raising and lowering the platform.
