Specifications

What the machine does

The 5.8 metre class is the workhorse of indoor access work: tall enough for warehouse racking, shop fitouts, ceiling services and sign installs, small enough to get through a commercial doorway and into a goods lift.

Platform height
5.8m
Working height
Up to 8.0m
Power
Battery electric, zero emissions
Charging
Standard 240V 10A outlet
Tyres
Non-marking, solid
Controls
Proportional drive and lift
Deck
Extendable for added reach
Ground conditions
Firm, level surfaces, indoor or outdoor

All you need on site is a standard extension cord. The machine charges from an ordinary 240V 10A power point, so there is no three-phase supply, no special lead and no electrician to arrange.

Specific dimensions and heights vary by model within this class. Tell us your access constraints and we will confirm the figures for the unit we allocate.

Platform height is where the deck stops. Working height is the reach of someone standing on it, which is the number that decides whether the machine suits the job.

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.

Where it suits

Jobs this machine is built for

An electric slab scissor lift is the right call when the ground is firm and level and the work is repetitive at height. You get a stable platform, tools at hand and no ladder shuffling.

  • Warehouse racking, stocktakes and high-bay maintenance
  • Shop and office fitouts, including ceilings, services and partitions
  • Electrical, data and lighting installation
  • HVAC, sprinkler and fire services work
  • Signage, glazing and facade cleaning within reach
  • Building maintenance in occupied premises

Working on soft, loose or sloping ground? That calls for a rough-terrain machine rather than a slab lift. Tell us about the site and we will be straight with you about it.

The fleet

Book on the specification

Every machine in this class is specified alike: a 5.8 metre platform, electric drive, non-marking tyres and an extendable deck. Specific dimensions and heights vary by model within the class, so if the access is tight we will confirm the figures for your machine before it is loaded.

Delivery

Scissor lift hire across the Perth metro

We deliver and collect from our Midland yard, charged on road distance: $25 + GST each way inside 15 km, $50 + GST to 30 km and $70 + GST to 60 km. Pick your area for local notes, or send us the site address.

Common questions

Scissor lift hire questions

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.
