Working at heights? Instead of using a ladder or scaffolding, consider a scissor lift for your next construction project or contractor job.

While traditionally used in industrial settings, scissor lifts have grown in popularity in recent years for typical construction, maintenance and repair projects. As you’ll soon learn, it’s not hard to see why!
Also known as an Aerial Work Platform (AWP), a scissor lift is used to elevate workers to high areas. They include a large movable working platform that can fit several workers along with any tools, supplies or equipment required.
The platform sits on top of crisscrossing braces that are drawn together mechanically to move the platform up and down. Most scissor lifts are designed to only move up and down, but some are able to move a few feet horizontally.
While scissor lifts come in a variety of models with varying lift capacity and height, typically most can accommodate be-tween 2 to 4 people and operate between 6 and 26 feet.
Working at heights adds risk to your job site. Scissor lifts protect workers from accidents and falls because the entire plat-form is gated with railings.
Scissor lifts are easy to operate and require minimal training to use. Workers can pause the the lift at different heights to work seamlessly and complete the tasks more effectively.
Scissor lifts are compact machines that can fit through narrow doors, gates in a backyard or other tight access spaces.
Some scissor lift models also feature crawler tracks for added agility and stability, when working on uneven terrain or sloped areas.
Scissor lifts can be powered by gasoline engines or electric motor, allowing the flexibility to work indoors or outdoors.
Typical indoor uses include changing lights, hanging signs, reaching high shelves, painting or routine repairs. Typical out-door uses include cleaning gutters, trimming trees, washing windows or other construction-related tasks.
Scissor lifts are light and compact. They can be towed on a trailer with a pickup truck.
When not in use and fully retracted, they take up little space and can be stored easily in small work spaces including offices, warehouses or other work sites.
The Almac scissor lift is the only one of its kind in Canada. The compact tracked machine uses a BI-levelling system, which means end users can travel on grades with their scissor lift platform fully extended without having to stop each time to re-position.
Momentum Lift Equipment is the first equipment rental business in Ontario to offer Almac mini tracked aerial platforms and crawler scissor lifts.

Tracked aerial lifts that are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications can allow you to take on a wider range of projects and potentially increase your revenue. Many of our models are compact (under 36 inches wide in transport mode) and have low ground pressure, allowing the lift to fit through a standard-sized door. These aerial lifts make once inaccessible areas possible to reach. Here is a list of models that are compact enough to fit through a standard 36-inch door.
With side reach capabilities of up to 50 feet on some models, tracked aerial lifts provide even greater versatility for your job site. This feature allows you to get to those hard-to-reach spots by going up and over obstacles, enabling you to tackle projects that would otherwise require multiple pieces of equipment. This can save you time and resources, increasing efficiency and allowing you to complete projects more quickly.

Reduced Equipment Costs
Tracked aerial lifts that are durable and require minimal maintenance can help reduce equipment costs over time. This, in addition to the various application possibilities, can help increase your profits and overall ROI.
Tracked aerial lifts are designed to withstand the toughest job sites and last for many years. They are made with high-quality materials and advanced engineering to ensure durability and efficiency. This not only reduces the need for frequent repairs and replacements but also helps you save on maintenance costs. In fact, there are users who purchased our tracked lifts in the 1990s that are still in active use– these machines are truly built to last with proper maintenance.
For instance, with a tracked aerial lift, you won't have to worry about replacing wheels and tires frequently as you would with a traditional boom lift. The tracks provide a much more stable base and can easily handle rough terrain, reducing the likelihood of damage or wear and tear.

Our warehouse has a vast selection of parts, including everything from filters to electrical components, to ensure that your equipment stays in top working condition.

With its many benefits, a tracked aerial lift provides a cost-effective solution that doesn't compromise on quality or performance.
