Scissor Lifts

All modern scissor lifts, from the 1990s- current, come equipped with a standard platform extension. They are pretty standard and typically extend about three feet.

Maintaining your aerial lifts is always important, and the same goes for these scissor lift platform extensions- make sure to always read through your manual so you know exactly how to use and maintain your machines.

Also, make sure to update your scissor lift every year for the ANSI certification to keep it on the up and up.

A common question we get a lot is how much do scissor lifts weigh- though the answer can vary depending on what type of scissor lift you are looking at, we wanted to give a quick overview from the most popular models.

The most common reason people need to know the weight of a scissor lift is for towing purposes.

19-Foot Scissor Lift Weight

19-foot scissor lifts typically weigh anywhere between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds.

26-Foot Scissor lifts

26-foot scissor lifts can weigh anywhere from 4,200 to 5,000 pounds.

32-Foot Scissor Lifts

32-foot scissor lifts usually weigh between 5,200 to 6,000 pounds.

Runabout Weights

Runabouts are similar to scissor lifts but are much smaller. They can be 12 to 20 feet and weigh anywhere from 1,500 to 2,500 pounds depending on the size.

At Above All Equipment Sales, we specialize in selling the best new and used aerial lifts, including scissor lifts, boom lifts, and telehandlers. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide our customers with a quality machine that will last them a very long time at an affordable price. However, there are many companies or private sellers who offer “cheap” scissor lifts and other machines, but you get what you pay for.

Why You Don’t Want a Cheap Scissor Lift

The cheapest lift is often the most expensive; sure, it wasn’t a huge upfront cost, but what about all of the money you’re going to have to put back into the machine after a few weeks or months?

Above All Equipment Sales only sells top-quality, safe aerial lifts! We ensure that every scissor lift we sell has its yearly inspections, new essential components such as batteries, chargers, tire, etc.

So, when buying an aerial lift, make sure to check for the current inspection/date of the last annual inspection.

When it comes to 19 foot and 20-foot scissor lifts, whether they are new, used, or reconditioned, there are many differences that can make or break your decision to buy one versus the other.

The difference isn’t just that extra foot in reach. There are many more differences between a 19 and 20-foot scissor lift. The 19-foot scissor lift seems to be more popular because they are the most affordable. But if you need to carry and lift heavy loads, you will have to go with the 20-foot scissor lift.

Weight Capacity in Scissor Lifts

The 20-foot scissor lifts were meant to lift up 750-1,000 pounds whereas the 19-foot lift can usually only lift about 500 pounds.

Price of Scissor Lifts

If you are trying to stay in a tight budget and you don’t need to lift over 500 pounds, then the 19-foot scissor lift is going to be your best option. They are more available to buy, easier to sell, and easier to maneuver.

Your options between a 19-foot scissor lift and a 20-foot scissor lift also comes down to where you are storing your lift. You need to make sure that your lift will fit through any doorways or hallways while you are using it, and situations like that.
