Scissor lift hire electric and diesel access platform
Scissor lift hire

We provide professional scissor lift hire for safe working at height across warehouses, construction sites, factories, retail units and commercial premises. We supply electric scissor lifts for indoor work and diesel rough terrain scissor lifts for outdoor construction environments, with nationwide delivery and collection.

Whether you need a compact narrow scissor lift for restricted access aisles or a heavy-duty platform for external works, we match the correct working height, platform size and load capacity to your site requirements.

Working heights & platform sizes

We supply scissor lifts suitable for common access requirements, typically ranging from:

  • 6m – 8m working height (compact indoor warehouse and maintenance lifts)
  • 10m – 12m working height (general construction and commercial fit-out)
  • 14m – 18m+ working height (larger projects and external works)
  • Narrow-width scissor lifts for doors, aisles and restricted access
  • Wide-deck platforms with extension decks for additional reach

For accuracy, tell us your required working height (height you need to reach), not just the platform height. We’ll confirm the correct specification.

Load capacity, deck extensions & site features

Different tasks require different platform capacities and configurations. We can supply platforms designed for personnel, tools and materials with typical safe working loads in the region of:

  • 230kg – 350kg (common indoor electric models for maintenance and fit-out)
  • 450kg – 680kg+ (larger platforms for heavier tools/materials and wider decks)
  • Extension decks to increase usable platform reach without repositioning
  • Non-marking tyres for indoor floors and finished surfaces (electric models)
  • Rough terrain tyres & higher ground clearance for outdoor/diesel models

If you’re working in tight areas, tell us your door width, aisle width, and whether there are gradients, thresholds or uneven surfaces. We’ll recommend the most suitable access platform.

Electric vs diesel scissor lifts
  • Electric scissor lift hire – quiet operation, indoor use, zero emissions, ideal for warehouses and retail units
  • Diesel scissor lift hire – outdoor capability, construction use, rough terrain stability for uneven ground
  • Short-term hire, weekly hire or longer contracts depending on your project duration

If you’re unsure which type is required, tell us whether the work is indoors or outdoors, the ground condition and your required working height. We’ll specify the correct model.

Common applications
  • Warehouse racking installation, inspection and maintenance
  • Electrical, lighting and cable tray installation
  • HVAC and mechanical services installation
  • Ceiling, sprinkler and M&E works
  • Construction fit-outs, refurbishments and building maintenance
  • External façade, cladding and high-level access work (diesel models)
