After setting your needs based on this informa

tion, you now have a complete idea of what type and kind of mobile scissor lift to look for.

How Mobile Scissor Lift Works?

You have to understand the mobile scissor lift general structure before understanding its work.

At CUBLIFT, our mobile scissor lift may look like complicated equipment, but it is actually simple in design and consist of the following components:

• Platform
• Base structure
• Scissor legs
• Hydraulic Cylinder
• Motor or Power Source

A hydraulic mobile scissor lift works in the following way:

The lift table raises and lowers when hydraulic fluid is forced into or out of the cylinder(s).

Since the legs of the scissor lift are connected to the base and platform, the opening of the legs raises the platform vertically.

The lift and platform will remain stable until the fluid in the cylinder(s) changes.

In order to raise the scissor lift, you increase the fluid pressure in the cylinder(s), and in order to lower the scissor lift platform, you reduce the fluid pressure in the cylinder(s).

This change in the fluid can be performed both manually and automatically based on the type of power source.

If it’s manual, then it requires manual force to operate, and if it’s auto, then it will require a power source to operate.

What is the Mechanism of Mobile Scissor Lift?

Mobile scissor lift contains the mechanical capability of vertical elevation and horizontal movement.

At CUBLIFT, our mobile scissor lift based on two mechanisms, lifting and moving.

The lifting mechanism describes the vertical ascend and descend of the scissor lift platform, and the movement mechanism describes its movement.

These both can be manual or automatic based on the power source of your mobile scissor lift.

The traveling mechanism of the CUBLIFT mobile scissor lift can be based on three fuel types; hydraulics, diesel, and electricity.
