Long Term Advantages of Custom Scissor Lifts

Published: 12/29/2022

Since the release of the first US patent in the 1960s, scissor lifts have become some of the most essential equipment used by dozens of industries. Unlike ladders, scaffolds, and towers, scissor lifts provide safe and stable vertical movement for people and materials.    

But if your facility has had a scissor lift for several years, now may be the right time for an upgrade or replacement. Autoquip offers the latest custom scissor lifts that feature modern technology and options that deliver greater efficiency and productivity over the long term.

Here are some important questions to consider:

  • Have you expanded or diversified your business or services?
    If you’ve changed your business model, expanded your product line, increased the customers/markets you serve, or added on new services, your existing lift could prevent you from reaching your new goals.
  • Are you planning to update or remodel your facility?
    Maximizing your current space by updating features or remodeling can be a cost-effective way to gain more capacity and increase efficiency. But once you make more room for an expanded inventory, will your existing lift be able to keep up with demand?
  • Have you had a high rate of service calls?
    Even with the most meticulous maintenance efforts, older equipment can begin showing its age. An evaluation to consider your long-term strategy is warranted if you’ve had to schedule more frequent repairs. Parts can become challenging to locate for older units, creating the risk of downtime.
  • Are you looking to improve workplace safety for your staff?
    If your older lift is still functioning well, it will likely benefit from an upgrade, given today’s available safety options. Autoquip offers multiple features that can create a safer working environment for your team.
  • Do you have the right lift for the job?
    Let our experts work with you to assess whether or not your current lift is adequate for your operation. Factors including platform size, cycle requirements, weight rating, and travel height should all be reviewed to ensure your existing lift is the right fit for your facility. What worked 25 years ago may be insufficient today!

Autoquip Quality: Built To Last

We use the most advanced fabrication methods to create a scissor lift based on your unique specifications. Drawing from our extensive design library, we can create a custom lift to accommodate any industry or application. And from the high-quality steel infrastructure to the premium components and controls, each Autoquip custom scissor lift is built to provide you with decades of dependable performance.
