What’s custom scissor Lift?
In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving work environments, having the right equipment to get the job done efficiently and safely is crucial. Since we often need to lift and lift heavy objects in our daily lives, we often use scissor lifts to make our daily lives easier. The custom scissor lift is designed to provide a stable and secure platform for workers to perform tasks at height, such as maintenance, construction, and installation work. It is commonly used in construction, maintenance and other industries to provide workers with a safe and stable aerial work platform. Its unique scissor-like mechanism allows for smooth and controlled vertical movement, making it easy to position workers and equipment precisely where they are needed.
Scissor lift uses a cross-connected folding support mechanism to raise and lower the platform.Custom scissor lift is mainly composed of three parts: a scissor frame, a platform, and a chassis. The scissor structure is more stable than other structures. Among them, the scissor lift can be divided into fixed and mobile types, mobile type also has 2 different mobile method, towable scissor lift & self-propelled scissor lift. Scissor lifts can be driven by DC, AC, or diesel, and have different load capacities and platform sizes depending on the lifting height to meet different work requirements. One such piece of equipment that has become indispensable in various industries is the custom scissor lift. With a range of heights available, from 10ft to 50ft, these lifts offer a versatile solution for a wide range of elevated work tasks.
In this article, the editor will focus on the mobile scissor lift, which is currently the most widely used and most popular among customers.

How many types of custom scissor lifts are there and what are the differences?
First of all, we need to make it clear that the mobile scissor lift is based on the conventional customized fixed scissor lift with an optimized chassis and four additional tires to facilitate your movement. Secondly, according to the operation method of mobile scissor lift, it can be divided into two styles: towable scissor lift (also called mobile scissor lift) and electric scissor lift (also called self-propelled scissor lift). In order to give you a more intuitive understanding We will compare and introduce the biggest difference between our two devices to let you know in several aspects.
I will list the configurations and specifications of several towable scissor lifts and self-propelled lifts of different heights for comparison, and the differences may be more obvious. Compare the configurations of the platform heights of 10ft, 12ft, 15ft, 40ft, and 50ft.
Scissor lifts are versatile pieces of equipment used in various industries for lifting and moving heavy loads vertically. They are widely used in construction, maintenance, and warehousing due to their stability and ease of use. Here’s a brief overview of scissor lifts with different platform heights:
10ft Scissor Lift:
Ideal for indoor use and small-scale maintenance tasks.
Compact size allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces.
Commonly used for electrical work, painting, and ceiling repairs.
12ft Scissor Lift:
Suitable for indoor and light outdoor applications.
Provides a slightly higher reach than the 10ft model, offering more flexibility.
Great for tasks like shelving installation, HVAC maintenance, and light construction.
15ft Scissor Lift:
Offers more height for indoor and outdoor use.
Can handle medium-duty tasks such as window cleaning, warehouse management, and general maintenance.
Typically equipped with a larger platform to accommodate more tools and personnel.
40ft Scissor Lift:
Designed for large-scale industrial and construction projects.
Provides significant vertical reach for tasks like building construction, large-scale repairs, and high ceiling work.
Often equipped with advanced safety features and a spacious platform for multiple workers and equipment.
50ft Scissor Lift:
Highest reach scissor lift, suitable for extensive outdoor and indoor applications.
Ideal for high-altitude tasks such as structural inspections, exterior building maintenance, and large-scale installations.
Robust design with enhanced stability and safety features to support heavy loads and multiple workers.
First, compare the heights of 10ft, 12ft, and 15ft, because our minimum height of the scissor lift is 4m=13.12ft, so these three heights can be combined for comparison.
Model | Platform height | Working height | Load capacity | Weight | Platform size(mm) | Overall size(m) | Platform extension |
THCY-4 | 4M | 6M | 500KG | 670KG | 2010*830 | 2.016*1*1.12 | 0 |
THJZ-4 | 4M | 6M | 320KG | 692KG | 1150*600 | 1.32*0.76*1.59 | 0.55m |
40ft(12.19m) platform height scissor lift as below:
Model | Platform height | Working height | Load capacity | Weight | Platform size(mm) | Overall size(m) | Platform extension |
THCY-12 | 12M | 14M | 500KG | 1950KG | 2462*1210 | 2.465*1.36*1.78 | 0 |
THJZ-12 | 12M | 14M | 320KG | 2850KG | 2270*1100 | 2.47*1.15*2.55 | 0.9m |
50ft(15m) platform height scissor lift as below(We don’t have 15m platform height scissor lift, but we have 16m scissor lift):
Model | Platform height | Working height | Load capacity | Weight | Platform size(mm) | Overall size(m) | Platform extension |
THCY-16 | 16M | 18M | 500KG | 1950KG | 2845*1420 | 2.845*1.62*2.055 | 0 |
THJZ-16 | 16M | 18M | 320KG | 2850KG | 2260*1130 | 3.15*1.53*2.35 | 0.9m |
This comparison clearly shows that there are significant differences between the two devices.
1. Operation method
Towable scissor lift As the name suggests, this machine is moved by dragging. The standard towable scissor lift can only be moved by dragging the operator. After we have perfected the machine, an adult man is strong enough to drag a 10m towable scissor lift.
But for the electric scissor lift, the movement method is similar to remote control movement. This machine can be moved by wired remote control on the table, which is very convenient.
2. Product load
The standard load capacity of the 10m towable scissor lift is 500kg, but we can upgrade it to 1000-2000kg load capacity according to customer's specific requirements.
The standard load capacity of the 10m electric scissor lift is 320kg. If customers need a larger load capacity, it can be upgraded to a maximum load capacity of 500kg.
3. The self-propelled scissor lift has an extendable table, while the standard towable scissor lift does not.
What are the features of custom scissor lift?
One of the key advantages of the custom scissor lift is its ability to be customized to suit specific job requirements. Whether you need a compact 10ft lift for indoor maintenance tasks or a robust 50ft lift for outdoor construction projects, there is a custom solution available to meet your needs. This flexibility makes the scissor lift an ideal choice for a wide range of industries, including warehousing, manufacturing, and facilities management.
In addition to its versatility, the custom scissor lift is also known for its safety features. With built-in guardrails, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection systems, workers can feel confident and secure when working at height. This focus on safety not only protects workers from accidents but also helps to improve productivity by reducing downtime due to injuries.
Overall, the custom 10ft 12ft 15ft 40ft 50ft scissor lift is a valuable tool for any business looking to improve efficiency and safety in their elevated work tasks. With its customizable options, reliable performance, and focus on safety, it is a versatile solution that can help businesses thrive in today's competitive marketplace.

How should we choose a suitable custom scissor lift?
Work scenario: If you need to move when working at heights, choose the electric model; otherwise, the towable model is more suitable.
Market: At present, our electric models have more customers coming to consult, and the market will be even bigger in the future. Usually, if it is a 10m electric scissor lift, the transportation method is LCL, but if you buy multiple units at the same time, not only will the price be discounted, but the transportation method will also change. Taking the 10m electric scissor lift as an example, 1*20ft container can hold up to five 10m electric scissor lifts at the same time. Purchasing multiple units at the same time not only offers discounts in terms of price, but also makes importing more convenient.
Budget: Each customer's budget and requirements are different. If the price of the electric style exceeds the budget, you can choose the towable style. The towable style can also meet the needs of the vast majority of customers. It is a very good choice as well as the electric
