Self propelled scissor lift is a flexible lifting equipment that can be used to conduct installation and maintenance work in both indoor and outdoor work sites. But if some aerial jobs should be done in indoor places, like hotels, museums, libraries, supermarkets, theaters, etc, a self propelled scissor lift is particularly recommended due to the following 5 reasons.
For more information, please visit Felici.
1. Compact structure and easy movement of the self propelled scissor lift itself.
The retractable electric scissor lift has a compact body structure which is easy to go through narrow doors or small space. This stands out during indoor maintenance and installation work, for users won't worry about the obstacles caused by doors or walls.
2. Power supply is not a must for the self propelled scissor lift.
Its walk power can be manual (towed by man) or DC power (self moving), and its lifting power of the scissor structure can be both AC power or DC power. Hence a battery power scissor lift can be chosen to work in anywhere of indoor workplaces with no power supply required.
3. Labor force can be saved with easy operation.
Without separate control box, the self propelled scissor lift can be operated via the control box on the platform. So only one operator/user/worker can handle it independently, saving the cost of labor force.
4. Self propelled scissor lift offers an environmentally friendly solution.
Electric self propelled scissor lift produces no noises or exhaust emission which can affect customers' experience in hotels, libraries, supermarkets, etc. Also the whole aerial work process won't cause any trouble to surrounding people.
5. Aerial work time can be effectively reduced.
The compact structure, flexible moving ability, convenient operation methods of the scissor man lift all contribute to a reduced work time. People won't waste too much time waiting the facilities to be installed or maintained well.

Mobile elevating work platforms, or MEWPs, come in a variety of sizes and options. Choosing the right one for your jobsite isn't as easy as knowing what height you need to lift to. You also need to consider how your MEWP is powered. A unit's emissions, noise levels and engine type also need to be factored in the choice when selecting whether you need a manually propelled versus a self-propelled MEWP.
Manually Propelled MEWPs
Manually propelled MEWPs must be physically pushed or pulled to relocate. These products are elevated by electric power and often known as an aerial work platform (AWP, an aluminium lift, a manlift, a personnel lift or a push-around.
Applications best suited are work at height tasks in a single location. Manually propelled products tend to be both economical and easy to transport. For example, the ability to stow one of these units in a truck-bed could also save on delivery charges from the rental store or add flexibility for equipment owners with multiple facilities.
Manually propelled MEWPs offer a similar work height to many powered lifts, as well as comparably low floor load for sensitive surfaces such as gymnasiums, theaters and stages. They also offer similar degrees of compact maneuverability for congested jobsites, single or double door access and emission-free elevation.
Self-Propelled MEWPs
Self-propelled MEWPs are equipped with drive systems that allow the machine to be driven to the work area, such as a scissor lift. For larger applications, the ability to cover ground to quickly rotate between worksites makes self-propelled MEWPs a more productive solution. Especially where operators travel significant distances or make frequent trips. The gradeability (the ability to drive up slopes) and terrainability (the ability to travel over rough terrain) also help make self-propelled MEWPs high performers in construction projects.
Other needs requiring self-propelled MEWPs are the capacity and deck to carry multiple workers, their tools and materials to height. For example, scissor lifts offer up to 1,200- to 2,500-lb platform capacity with up to 21 ft of workspace.
