Scissor & Fork Lift Rentals
Scissor Lift Uses
A number of jobs require scissor lifts. If you see your job description or place of work below, a scissor lift could significantly improve the efficiency and safety of your work.
Building Maintenance: Some aspects of building maintenance require working high in the air, such as changing lights, hanging banners, laying bricks, pouring concrete, changing signs, accessing utilities and many other tasks. Scissor lifts are a popular choice inside buildings since they help workers accomplish tasks safely. Plus, they are mobile and can be independently moved from one area of a building to another.
Construction: Scissor lifts provide a mobile, versatile solution for dynamic construction projects that may have frequently changing environments. This makes scissor lifts beneficial for:
1 – Renovation Contracting
2 – General contracting
Delivery: Busy hubs of shipping activity generally include the tasks that scissor lifts do well with, such as reaching to heights and carrying heavy loads that cannot be lifted by hand.
Production: An aerial platform can improve operating efficiencies by quickly and safely reaching high heights and lifting heavy loads.
Retail: From the big-name stores to smaller operations, many retailers find themselves relying on scissor lifts. Store and warehouse shelves are tall, and product is stacked up to save space. Scissor lifts can respond to the changing needs and products.
Warehousing: When storage is the name of the game, every vertical and horizontal inch of space must be used efficiently. Investing in a scissor lift for warehouses can open new areas for use or expedite the retrieval process.
ForkLift Uses
Forklift trucks have revolutionized the storage and shipping of goods in various workplaces. Since they were invented in the dawn of the 20th century, forklifts have become the integral machine in industrial workplaces, including:
Dockyards: – Forklifts have been instrumental in unloading and stacking barges and ships way back in the world wars. Today, forklifts are used to move and transport bulky cargos: from delivery trucks to storage regions in the dockside to ships. Forklifts are used particularly in transporting steel and wood shipments.
Recycling facilities: – Besides dockyards, forklifts are also useful in recycling operations. They are used for unloading recycling containers or trucks before their loads are transported to the sorting bays. Forklift trucks are preferred in these operations because they can efficiently load/unload tractor-trailers, elevators, railway cars, and straight trucks.
Construction sites: – Forklifts that are intended for industrial uses also prove useful in construction sites. Construction workers rely on forklifts to carry and transport heavy building materials to certain distances and even on rough terrain. In construction sites, forklifts serve both as lifting equipment and a vehicle. Forklifts are best used in unloading pallets of blocks/bricks, steel joists, and construction equipment and materials, especially in hauling them from the delivery truck and carrying them to the site.
Warehouses: – Forklift trucks are commonly used in warehouse operations as well. They are primarily used to load and unload trucks and transporting goods. There are different types of forklifts available for warehouse use. Each of them varies in size and for the work you will use them for. A forklift’s plate determines the maximum weight it can lift.
