🛠️ When to Use Each Lift: Scissor Lift vs Boom Lift
Choosing between a scissor lift and a boom lift depends on the nature of your work, the environment, and how much height and outreach you need. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:
✅ Use a Scissor Lift When:
- You need to work directly overhead
Scissor lifts go straight up. They're perfect when your work area is right above your base — no outreach required.
- You need a large, stable platform
Tasks involving multiple workers or lots of tools (like electrical work or ducting) are easier on a wide platform.
- You're working on flat, solid surfaces
Indoor floors or paved areas are ideal for most scissor lifts, especially electric models with non-marking tires.
- You're doing indoor or low-ceiling work
Scissor lifts are compact and suitable for ceilings, light fixtures, or ventilation systems.
- Weight capacity is important
Scissor lifts typically carry heavier loads (500–1000kg), including people and materials.
✅ Use a Boom Lift When:
- You need to reach up and over obstacles
Boom lifts extend both vertically and horizontally — perfect for accessing rooftops, balconies, or behind fences/machines.
- You’re working at extreme heights
Boom lifts can reach up to 40+ meters, making them essential for high-rise or large-scale outdoor projects.
- You need flexibility and maneuverability
Articulating boom lifts (knuckle booms) can bend around structures, ideal for hard-to-reach spots.
- You're working outdoors on uneven terrain
Diesel boom lifts come with rugged tires and outriggers to handle rough ground.
- You’re doing precision work
The extendable arm gives you better control over where exactly you need to position the basket.
