Buy the machine
We sell used and refurbished scissor lifts: repainted, new batteries, new decals and inspected. If a lift is on your books permanently, owning one beats hiring it.
What refurbished meansLong-term hire
From $650 a month
For long builds, facilities teams and maintenance programs. From as low as $650 + GST per machine per month on a 12-month contract with at least two lifts.
Long-term termsThe fleet
Compact electric lifts that work indoors
Every machine in the fleet is a battery-electric slab scissor lift in the 5.8 metre class. They are quiet, emission-free and run non-marking tyres, so they can go into an occupied building or across a finished floor without leaving a mark behind.
They charge from any standard 240V 10A power point with an extension cord, which matters on fitouts where there is no three-phase supply to work with. Proportional drive and lift controls make them easy to place accurately in tight rooms, and an extendable deck picks up the extra reach when you need it.
Specific dimensions and heights vary by model within this class, so if access is tight, tell us the narrowest point on the way in and we will confirm the figures for the machine we allocate before it leaves the yard.

Delivery and collection are charged separately and are not included in the hire rate. Transport is charged on the road distance from our yard to your site, each way, so a closer site is a cheaper run. Beyond 60 km of the yard, ask for a transport quote. The monthly unlimited package is the exception: it covers two machines with unlimited transport inside 60 km. All rates exclude GST.

- A machine inspected and charged before it leaves the yard
- Delivery and collection on our own transport, $25 + GST each way inside 15 km, $50 + GST to 30 km and $70 + GST to 60 km
- A 24-hour transport service, so machines can move outside business hours
- Access figures confirmed against your site before the machine is loaded
Worth knowing
- Delivery is not included in the hire rate
- Transport outside our office hours attracts an additional fee
- We do not hire trailers, and machines are not supplied with a trailer
- Yard pickup is not available, so every hire is delivered
Transport
We bring it and we take it away
Access equipment is only useful if it turns up. We deliver and collect every hire ourselves, and transport runs as a 24-hour service, so you are booking a machine on site at a time rather than a pickup you have to organise around.
Delivery and collection are charged on the road distance from the Midland yard to your site: $25 + GST each way inside 15 km, $50 + GST to 30 km and $70 + GST to 60 km. Past 60 km we will quote the run. Because we do not hire trailers and do not offer yard pickup, transport is always handled by us, which keeps load restraint and compliance on our side of the fence.
Tell us the site address, the dates and anything we should know about access, such as gate widths, kerbs, whether there is a loading dock and whether the work is after hours. We will confirm a delivery window with the quote.
Common questions
Before you book
Do I need a licence to operate a scissor lift in WA?
A High Risk Work Licence is not required for a scissor lift. In Australia that licence applies to boom-type elevating work platforms with a boom length of 11 metres or more. Operators must still be trained and competent under work health and safety regulations, and most commercial sites ask for evidence of training such as a Yellow Card or a site-specific verification of competency. Confirm what your site requires before the machine arrives.
Is delivery included in the hire rate?
No. Delivery and collection are charged separately, each way, on the road distance from our Midland yard: $25 + GST each way inside 15 km, $50 + GST to 30 km and $70 + GST to 60 km. Beyond 60 km, ask us for a transport quote. The one exception is the monthly unlimited package, which covers two machines with unlimited transport inside 60 km.
Can I collect the machine myself or hire a trailer?
No. We do not hire trailers, and machines are not supplied with a trailer. Yard pickup is not available either, so every hire is delivered and collected on our own transport. It keeps the load restraint, the compliance and the risk with us rather than with you.
How quickly can you deliver?
Delivery and collection run as a 24-hour service, so a machine can go out or come back outside business hours. Our office hours are 9:30am to 5:00pm, seven days. Transport arranged outside those hours attracts an additional fee.
Can these scissor lifts be used outdoors?
Yes, provided the ground is firm and level. These are slab-rated electric units rather than rough-terrain machines, so they suit sealed yards, concrete slabs, warehouse floors and compacted hardstand. They are not suited to soft sand, loose fill or sloping ground.
How is the machine charged?
From any standard 240V 10A power point using an extension cord. No three-phase supply and no special connection are needed, which makes these machines practical on fitouts and in occupied buildings where power is limited.
Will it mark my floors?
The fleet runs non-marking tyres, so the machines can be used on finished and polished floors. They are also battery electric, so there are no exhaust emissions indoors.
Will it fit through my doorway or into my lift?
Specific dimensions and heights vary by model within this class, so tell us the tightest point on the route in: door width, lift car dimensions, kerbs, ramps and any low headroom. We will confirm the figures for the unit we allocate before it leaves the yard.
Do you hire for longer than a month?
Yes. Long-term hire and leasing start from as low as $650 + GST per month per machine, based on a 12-month contract with at least two scissor lifts. That is well under the sum of rolling short-term hire.
