Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are a special kind of aerial man lift which is meant to transport personnel vertically to difficult-to-reach places. The scissor lift derived its name due to the scissor type of design of the folding supports which serve to lower and raise the platform. In order to raise the lift, every one of the folding supports is opened so as to extend the platform to higher heights.

The scissor lift will either be powered manually or hydraulically. The hydraulic powered system does not rely on power, however enables the scissor lifts to descend with only a release of hydraulic pressure. As the potential of mechanical malfunctions preventing the platform from rapidly descending to the ground is eliminated, hydraulic systems make safer scissor lifts at the end of the day.

Capacity
Man lifts are designed in a huge range of weight capacities. Several man lifts have the capability to only hold numerous individuals while others have the ability to hold one person. Scissor lifts and platform lifts are more conducive for transporting lots of individuals, as boom lifts have less space located in their bucket.
