Scissor lifts are a type of manlift that is commonly used in construction and facility maintenance to raise employees and their tools to work heights.

A scissor lift is a piece of mechanical equipment that promotes or unloads items by using electric energy as a power source. It is mostly utilized in high-altitude homework-related sectors and disciplines, such as enterprises, the chemical industry, municipal administration, electric power, and transportation.

The platform, also known as a lift table, is the working area that supports the load of workers or work objects being raised or lowered by the scissor lift.

The different types of scissor lifts include hydraulic scissor lifts, diesel-powered scissor lifts, electric scissor lifts, rough terrain scissor lifts and pneumatic scissor lifts.
