Scissor Lifts require a certain amount of batteries, and most of the time, it’s four batteries. But as of recently, there is a new scissor lift by JLG that requires only one battery. Since this is a new product, we are unsure how this will play out in the long run. Regardless, you won’t want to pay for replacing it.

The Standard Amount

Typically, for scissor lifts, the number of batteries you will need will be around four. These batteries are golf cart-type batteries. The batteries are six volts which can be purchased in places such as your local Costco, which is where we recommend getting the batteries at a good deal. The most you will spend on these batteries will be around one hundred to one hundred and seven dollars.

At Above All Equipment Sales, we recommended only using four batteries as this is the typical limit. Any more than this, and you violate OSHA and ANSI standards.

Aerial Lift Prices and Availability

As with most things these days, the availability and prices of aerial lifts have changed. Just like car dealerships, we are having a difficult time keeping many machines in stock, and the prices increase as a result—classic supply and demand.

So, it’s hard to keep new telehandlers, scissor lifts, and boom lifts in stock, and it’s even harder to find many used ones because those are selling so fast too.

However, it’s not going to be a long-term thing – it should free up in the next year, and prices hopefully will stabilize.

In the meantime, if you are looking to get your hands on an aerial lift like a telehandler, boom lift, or scissor lift, you know who to call!

One of our biggest demographics for scissor lift buyers is schools. Most of the time, a school district will share one scissor lift between all of the schools, high school, middle school, elementary, etc.

Carting those scissor lifts around can be time-consuming and not to mention expensive; those costs can add up if you don’t have the right equipment to transport the machines.

We recommend that larger school districts have a few scissor lifts so they don’t have to transport them all of the time. Even smaller districts can benefit from owning a couple of their own scissor lifts.

Typical School Scissor Lifts

Schools will usually use scissor lifts for lighting in their gyms and other high ceiling rooms, such as a performing arts center. Scissor lifts can also be really useful for other maintenance work, decorations, painting, and so much more.

The most common footprint for school scissor lifts are:

  • Narrow 19 foot
  • Narrow 26 foot
  • Runabouts

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)

The Cost of Scissor Lift Rentals

As with any type of rental, whether it’s a home, a car, or even a scissor lift, the price is going to vary across the country. The price will also vary depending on the size of the rental, how long you need it for, and who you know.

On average, you can expect to pay these rates per rental time:

  • Daily – $85-$200
  • Weekly – $350-$600
  • Monthly – $600-$1,500
  • DON’T FORGET TO EXPECT TAXES, FEES, AND DELIVERY CHARGES.

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.

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.

In one of our last blogs, we addressed how long scissor lifts last, but our customers want to know how long the battery lasts throughout the day. So, here is a quick blog talking about the battery life on a typical scissor lift!

How Long Do Scissor Lifts Last Through the Day?

There are a lot of factors that influence how long your scissor lift battery will last throughout the day. But, in general, your scissor lift should last you the entire workday as long as it was charged the night before.

If we had to take a conservative guess, we would say that your scissor lift battery should last about 4-6 hours of work. That means driving the lift and extending it up and down.

What Factors Influence Battery Life?

  • What condition the battery is in.
  • How much you are driving it.
