How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Scissor Lift Table

Start with capacity (2000, 3000, 4000 or 6000 lbs) and then travel. The -24 models raise to 31-1/4″, the -36 models to 43-1/4″ and the -48 models to 55-1/4″. All lower to 7-1/4″.

Choose a W (wide base) model when the load is wider. Standard models start at 24″ wide platforms; W models start at 36″ or 48″ wide and accept platforms up to 72″ x 96″. Check lift time too: it ranges from 10 to 66 seconds depending on model and power unit.
