How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length

The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the scissor support weight and the integrity of the steel cross sections over the length. The scissor structures weight and length are corollaries, meaning that the former determines the latter for a stable scissor jack. An extreme instance of this to show the point will be a 20-foot lift length which is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is pretty much weightless. It definitely would not be able to support at much of a height and would not be able to support a lot at all.



Determine how high in the air the platform will be raised to calculate or determine the length of the scissor lift required to support the weight of both objects and occupants on the platform in relation to the weight of the platform.



In order to reach the required height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections that will be necessary to be extended at their full extension. Lastly, you will never want to ascend some workers up on a platform along with their supplies that is on a platform supported by any type of unstable structure as clearly any kind of equipment that is susceptible to tipping will really put individuals in a really dangerous situation.



Determine the weight of each and every scissor cross-section. This is very important to determining the weight and length of the scissor lift you will require as well as the overall stability of the machinery. When completely extended, determine the angle between the ground or horizontal level against the scissor arms measured.
