• Support different tasks, including lifting personnel, palletised goods, and bulky materials
• Enhance access to hard-to-reach areas such as ceilings, facades, and elevated storage

Lift Applications

• Commercial construction, including framing, cladding, and electrical installation
• Warehousing and logistics for stock picking and material movement
• Facility maintenance such as lighting, HVAC servicing, and inspections
• Agriculture and rural operations for shed work and equipment handling
• Infrastructure projects including roadworks, signage, and bridge maintenance

Types Of Lifts

• Slab scissor lifts – Designed for smooth, level surfaces, slab scissor lifts are commonly used indoors or on finished concrete. They offer compact footprints and vertical lift, making them ideal for warehouses and fit-outs.
• Rough-terrain scissor lifts – Built with larger tyres and stronger frames, these lifts handle uneven ground and outdoor sites. They are suited to construction zones where stability and traction are critical.
• Telehandlers – Combining lift and reach, telehandlers are used for moving materials across distance and height. They are popular on farms and building sites for versatile lifting tasks.
• Pneumatic-tyre forklifts – These forklifts use air-filled tyres for outdoor use on gravel or uneven surfaces. They provide better traction and durability in yard and site environments.
• Cushion-tyre forklifts – With solid tyres, these forklifts are best for indoor use on smooth floors. They offer tight turning circles and efficient handling in warehouses.
• Telescopic boom lifts – Telescopic boom lifts provide straight-line reach for accessing high or distant work areas. They are suited to large-scale construction and infrastructure jobs.
• Articulating boom lifts – Featuring multiple joints, articulating lifts navigate around obstacles. They are useful for complex worksites or maintenance in confined spaces.
• Towable boom lifts – Mounted on trailers or trucks, these lifts are easy to transport between sites. They suit contractors handling short-term or mobile access work.
• Personnel lifts – Compact and lightweight, personnel lifts are used for quick, low-height access tasks. They are common in retail, offices, and light maintenance settings.

How To Buy The Right Lifts

• Match the terrain: Choose slab models for indoor floors and rough-terrain units for outdoor or uneven ground to ensure stability and safe operation.
• Consider working height: Compare platform heights and outreach requirements based on typical job tasks, such as ceiling work or facade access.
• Evaluate capacity needs: Factor in operator weight, tools, and materials to avoid under-sizing the machine.
• Plan transport and storage: Check machine dimensions, towability, and site access, especially for contractors moving between jobs.
• Assess usage frequency: Regular users may prioritise durability and service support, while occasional users might focus on versatility.
