Frequently asked questions

What working heights are available?
We supply electric scissor lifts with platform heights of approximately 5 metres, 8 metres, and higher models depending on availability. The right size depends on your working height requirement. Tell us the height you need to reach and we will confirm which model suits your job.

Can I use a scissor lift indoors?
Yes. Electric scissor lifts are specifically designed for indoor use. They produce zero emissions, operate quietly, and run on battery power. They are widely used in warehouses, retail fit-outs, offices, and event venues where noise and fumes are not acceptable.

Do I need an IPAF licence to operate one?
IPAF or equivalent powered access training is strongly recommended and may be required by your site, client, or insurer. If you are unsure about training requirements for your job, check with your site manager or principal contractor before booking.

Will it fit through a standard doorway?
Most of our smaller scissor lifts fit through standard double doors. Single doorways may be too narrow for some models. Provide your doorway width when booking and we will confirm whether the machine can access your work area.

How long does the battery last?
A fully charged battery will typically last a full working day of normal use including multiple raise and lower cycles and repositioning. We deliver with a full charge and include the charger so you can top up overnight on longer hires.
