Diesel Rough Terrain Scissors

Scissor Lift Hire

Construction-oriented and with four-wheel drive capabilities, diesel rough terrain scissor lifts have been designed to increase productivity in demanding outdoor worksites.

Diesel powered scissor lifts are chosen for applications that require more workspace and more lifting capacity. Our range both provides a larger work area and generally higher load capacities than boom lifts. Both deliver exceptional trainability and gradeability, making it easier to manoeuvre through the roughest job sites.

FAQs

Diesel rough terrain scissor lifts are commonly used on outdoor worksites requiring elevated access. They are designed for uneven or rough surfaces, making them ideal for construction, maintenance and installation tasks where stability and height are essential. These machines are particularly useful when working in challenging terrain where traditional electric scissor lifts may not be suitable.

The lifting capacity of diesel rough terrain scissors varies by model, but they can generally support multiple workers with tools and materials. Many models can handle loads ranging from 500kg to over 1,000kg, allowing for efficient and safe work at height. Always consult the specific machine’s manual for precise load limits and safety guidelines.

These machines can typically reach working heights of 10 to 18 metres, depending on the model. This makes them well-suited for a variety of outdoor tasks that require extended vertical reach, such as building construction, roofing and signage installation. It’s important to choose a model that meets your project’s specific height requirements.

Diesel rough terrain scissors are equipped with a range of safety features, including hydraulic outriggers, automatic stabilisers and emergency lowering systems. Many models also come with rough terrain tyres for better grip on uneven surfaces. Additionally, most lifts feature guardrails and non-slip platforms to ensure worker safety during operation.

While diesel rough terrain scissors are designed for outdoor use, they are best used in dry conditions. These machines are robust enough to handle uneven ground and moderate weather. Still, avoiding using them in high winds, heavy rain or icy conditions is important, as these can compromise safety and machine performance.

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of diesel rough terrain scissors. The frequency of servicing will depend on the manufacturer’s recommendations, the intensity of use and the specific environment in which the machine operates. It’s essential to carry out pre-use inspections and schedule routine servicing to prevent breakdowns and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
