How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the scissor support weight along with the integrity of the steel cross sections more than the length. The scissor structure's weight together with the length is corollaries of each other; thus, the former determines the latter for a stable scissor jack. An extreme example of this to illustrate the point will be a 20-foot lift length which is featherweight made from Styrofoam that is practically weightless. It definitely can not support at much of a height and can not support much at all.



In order to calculate the length of a scissor lift, determine how high in the air you have to support a platform that will support of the weight of the objects and occupants on the platform as well as the platform's weight.



In order to reach the required height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections which will be required to be extended at their full extension. Lastly, you would never want to ascend a few employees up on a platform with their materials that is on a platform supported by any kind of unstable structure since clearly any type of machine that is prone to tipping will put individuals in an extremely dangerous situation.



Determine the weight of every scissor cross-section. This is vital to determining the length and weight of the scissor lift you will need in addition to the overall stability of the machinery. When completely extended, determine the angle between the horizontal or ground level against the scissor arms measured.
