Electric Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts allow users to reach heights much quicker and easier than having to erect scaffolding or use ladders. If working at height for longer durations a scissor lift is an ideal piece of equipment to use, with a simple push of a button or control stick the lift can be moved to the correct height and work can start immediately. Offering a guarded platform powered access can be much safer than other equipment.

When it comes to the Hire vs Buy debate the answer always depends on the number of times the equipment will be used. If it's a one-off and will only be used for one job hiring is the way to go. If the work you carry out on a regular basis means you have to access these heights often, purchasing your own equipment will work out the better solution in the long run.

In short yes. All users of MEWPs, scissor lifts or other means of elevated work platforms require training. Once training is complete you will receive a PAL card which are issued digitally and can be accessed online via IPAFs mobile app. The training consists of one to two days dependent on the course and are a mixture of both theory and practical learning. There are a number of training courses suitable for different roles including operator, manager and supervisor courses.
