Overview
About the Haulotte Compact 8N Narrow Electric Scissor Lift
The Haulotte Compact 8N puts 26ft of platform height on a chassis just 0.81m wide: 9.8m working height, 7.8m platform height and a 250kg two-person platform. The deck measures 2.4 x 0.8m and extends to 3.32m with the 120kg extension. Three selectable drive speeds (0.7 / 1.5 / 4.2 km/h) make it controllable in occupied buildings, and non-marking 15×5 tyres protect finished floors. 25% gradeability, 2.05m outside turning radius, 24V 225Ah battery with a 27A multivoltage charger.
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Tall indoor access through narrow openings, fit-outs in occupied buildings, services and maintenance on finished floors.
Good to confirm: Non-marking tyres on a narrow chassis — firm, level surfaces only. Machine weight and stowed dimensions are published on a combined Compact 8N/10N sheet; confirm against the machine plate for transport planning. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Dimensions at a glance
The numbers that decide access
- Machine width
- 0.81 m: fits a standard single doorway (~0.82 m clear); measure your narrowest opening
Drawn to scale from this machine's stored specifications. The manufacturer spec sheet (below) governs.
Delivery, access and running
Delivery is quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements. Tell us the tightest access width on site if the machine must pass through gates, doorways or between structures.
Licence and competency: Scissor-type EWP. No high-risk work licence required in NSW; EWPA Yellow Card (SL) accepted competency.
Hire period: Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together; see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Charging this machine
- Batteries
- 24V — 225Ah (C20), 27A multivoltage charger
- Our fleet guidance
- Charge overnight (about 8 hours) from a standard outlet for a full day's work. Runtime depends on battery condition, drive distance and lift cycles. Ask us if your job runs long shifts.
- Confirm a live, accessible power outlet near where the machine parks each night. A machine left away from power starts tomorrow flat.
- Plug in at the end of every shift, not "when it gets low"; opportunity charging at breaks helps on heavy days.
- Charge in a ventilated area and keep the charger connections dry.
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before delivery, and every operator still checks the machine before each shift. This is the baseline we use; the machine's own logbook and check sheet govern.
Walk around
- Tyres, wheels and structure: damage, cracks, leaks
- Scissor stack / boom, pins and hoses: no visible damage or hydraulic leaks
- Decals, capacity plate and rails in place; gates close properly
- Work area: overhead power lines, holes, slopes, other traffic
Power on
- Battery state of charge: enough for the shift
- Ground and platform controls both operate correctly
- Emergency stop and horn work from both stations
Function test
- Raise, lower and drive at low height before working
- Emergency lowering: know where it is and that it works
- Tilt / overload alarms not showing faults
Any fault: tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Do not operate a machine with a known fault. Based on manufacturer pre-start requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance.
Before it arrives
- Measure the route, not the door. Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area: handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
- Confirm the floor. Ground-bearing slab is fine; suspended slabs, mezzanines and raised floors need the wheel loads checked against the floor rating.
- Clear the work zone. Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height; exclusion for people below.
- Delivery space. Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
- Power point. A live outlet near overnight parking, so every day starts charged.
Mistakes we see weekly
- Booking on ceiling height instead of the actual task height. Measure to the work, then add nothing "just in case".
- Quoting the nominal door size instead of the clear opening. An 820 mm door leaf are not 820 mm once the door stop is counted.
- Assuming the machine can cross "a bit of lawn". Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground; say so and we'll send tracks.
- Leaving induction and permit requirements to delivery morning. Shopping centres and managed sites need paperwork before the truck arrives.
