Kinds of Man Lifts

Designed particularly to vertically lift employees to higher places, scissor lifts are common in the construction industry to help move or raise employees form one location to another. Man lifts are power-driven and provide steps or platforms and special handholds to provide safe transport. The type of construction work being done will decide exactly what kind of man lift will be utilized in a project.



Electrically Insulated Man Lifts

According to Man and Material Lift Engineering, the man lift most preferred for working near electrocution hazards are electrically insulated man lifts. The electrically insulated man lifts provide protection to employees against accidental electrocution. These kind of equipment are in compliance with the American National Standards Institute A92.2 Category C, 46kV Rated. These electrically insulated man lifts offer fiberglass insulated booms, fiber optic control cables and are operated on nonconductive hydraulic hoses which serve to reduce ground fault.



Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are a special type of aerial man lift which is meant to transport employees vertically to difficult-to-reach places. The scissor lift derived its name due to the scissor type of design of the folding supports that could lower and raise the platform. To be able to hoist the lift, every one of the folding supports is opened in order to extend the platform to higher heights.



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



Capacity

Man lifts are designed in a huge range of weight capacities. Certain man lifts have the capability to only hold many people while others have the ability to hold one individual. Scissor lifts and platform lifts are more beneficial for transporting many individuals, as boom lifts have less space located in their bucket.
