When you rent a scissor lift, they can reach heights between 18 and 50 feet, whereas platforms can be 28 to 96 inches in width and 56 to 192 inches in length. These dimensions create comfortable working environments for those operating and working on the lift, and it helps to choose the right model for your project.

Scissor lifts are unique in their use in warehouses, construction sites, and other projects.

You likely have a list of questions about renting scissor lifts. We’ve got answers! Here are a few insights to help you get a greater understanding of their operations and options.
The rental price of a scissor lift through Yancey ultimately depends on your project, days you’ll need the heavy equipment, and the amount of machinery. Yancey strives to provide the best rates for scissor lifts along with flexible rental options. You can rent several types of lifts through Cat Rental Store & Yancey, with options including daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes.

We recommend using a heavy-duty trailer to transport your scissor lift rental. Scissor lifts are very heavy so be sure the trailer and what’s hauling it is up to the job. Likewise, ensure the equipment is in good working order to ensure safety of the driver and others on the road.
Despite their safety features it’s still possible that a scissor lift can topple over under the right circumstances. Tipping over often results in improper load balancing. Other causes can include high winds and uneven ground. Always follow safety procedures and practices when operating scissor lifts.
We don’t play favorites with the brands and models of scissor lifts offered. We simply want to provide high-quality machinery that handle even the toughest of jobs. This is why you’ll find a selection of lifts from Genie, JLG, SkyJack, and MEC. Our techs and team take special care of each piece of machinery, ensuring optimal operations, safety, and efficiency.
