Skyjack Scissor lifts Los Angeles

How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The scissor jack lift's length is proportional to the support weight of the scissors and the integrity of the steel cross sections over the length. The scissor structures length and weight are corollaries, meaning that the former determines the latter for scissor jack stability. An extreme instance of this to illustrate the point will be a 20-foot lift length which is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is practically weightless. It definitely could not support at much of a height and can not support a lot at all.



Determine how high in the air the platform will be lifted to calculate or determine the scissor lift length needed to support the weight of both objects and occupants on the platform in relation to the weight of the platform.



The number of cross-sections of scissor folding supports sections that would be necessary to be extended at their full extension in order to reach the needed height within the weight support parameters. Lastly, you will never want to ascend some workers up on a platform with their supplies which is on a platform supported by any kind of unstable structure because obviously any type of equipment which is susceptible to tipping will really put individuals in a very dangerous situation.



Each and every cross section must be weighed to determined the overall length and weight of the scissor lift along with the overall stability of the equipment. When entirely extended, determine the angle between the horizontal or ground level against the scissor arms measured.
