Features of Rough Terrain Scissor Lift Rentals

Rough terrain scissor lifts are like traditional scissor lifts, but are built specifically for outdoor use on uneven surfaces. They feature reinforced tires and four-wheel drive. A diesel engine powers most rough terrain scissor lifts instead of batteries. Almost all rough terrain lifts come with outriggers, heavy-duty tires and additional safety mechanisms. Fall restraints and arrestors are common since extreme weather can appear suddenly and pose a serious risk to elevated workers.

Like other scissor lifts, all-terrain lifts are vertical. That means their arm only goes up, instead of horizontally like some other aerial lifts. Rough terrain scissor lifts can reach heights of up to 60 feet, while their workspace area is between two to 10 feet. Some manufacturers, like Genie, include a slide-out extension deck to create a larger work area. Rough terrain scissor lifts usually hold more weight than regular scissor lifts. For comparison, most scissor lifts hold around 1,000 pounds, while all-terrain ones can carry around 2,250 pounds. That means they can lift more equipment and workers so you can get the job done faster.

Safety is an important factor, which is why our all-terrain scissor lifts often include the following features:

• Manual lowering
• Motion, tilt and descent alarm
• Lanyard attachment points
• Self-closing gates

A variety of accessories are also available for rough terrain scissor lift rentals, including:

• Extension decks
• Light kits
• Leveling jacks
• Non-marking tires

Depending on your project’s needs and its time frame, renting an all-terrain scissor lift may be a smart choice.

Specialty Uses for Renting Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts

Many people prefer rough terrain scissor lift rentals over other options because of their heavy-duty capabilities and versatility. Although they can also be used indoors, rough terrain lifts are specifically designed for harsh terrain and weather, as well as for construction-oriented jobs.

Rough terrain scissor lifts can perform on slopes, so they have a 0-40% gradeability, depending on the model.

Benefits of Renting a Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

Renting a rough terrain scissor lift means you’ll have four-wheel drive, reinforced tires and positive traction control for your project.
